Citymelt Will Tell You If The Grass is Really Greener
Do you constantly wish you lived on the right side of the tracks, river or time zone? You’re not alone.
Heck, 46 percent of the public would rather live in a different type of community from the one they’re living in now, according to a recent poll by Pew Research Center‘s Social & Demographic Trends.
But moving is expensive and new jobs are hard to come by, so wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to get a holistic picture of life in a new town, village or city before filling the U-Haul and finding a decent barber? Citymelt takes the guesswork out of finding the perfect nest, whether you’re a family of five or a swinging bachelor looking to reside within walking distance of a gentlemen’s club.
Citymelt offers a long list of weighted options to determine your perfect home base from a database of more than 50,000 locales. Pick your ideal population size and shape. Weigh in on the weather. Choose the color of your collar: Blue or white. Heck, even choose your preferred elevation – whether it’s the Mile High city of Denver or the Lost City of Atlantis.
Apparently, I would like the town of Meyers Chuck, Alaska. Allegedly, I’d get along with all 21 other residents - although with 11 men and 10 women, it’s a veritable sausage party. But with a median income of $65K, one third having earned bachelor degrees, and a median igloo value of $120k-plus, my 21 friends and I could have scholarly discussions about big, important things while burning hundred dollar bills to keep warm inside houses resembling Superman’s Fortress of Solitude.
Now that’s the life.
