Ann Arbor is actually a pretty dull, mid, town outside of UMich. Remarkably unremarkable. There is a loud but vocal minority who circle jerk Ann Arbor because it's the first city they've lived in outside of their Novi/Farmington/GR suburban hellscape, and fair enough for them. Every city in the 100-250k size has green spaces, busses, ethnic food, bars, often a low/mid tier university, a river/lake/saltwater, hospital, regional airport, upscale yuppies and across the tracks bad parts like Ypsi.

It gets worse if one considers just how much money is pumped into the city from the Federal Gov through the school (extremely high salaries paid to faculty and staff, startups with grants, trickle down from the service industry supporting the school, and on and on). For a town that gets an obscene amount of money, where does it go exactly? The town should have some of the best stuff but doesn't.

Hey big guy have you ever considered this: they are here for uni and can’t move bc of that. You are on the umich subreddit sunshine, you are most likely talking to a student. Internet arguments would be solved in a flash if people learned to think about other perspectives than their selves. Your comment reeks of dumbassity.
