ISO: A place to land in the city of brotherly love.
Hello!
This will be a bit long, but tl;dr is more or less that I’m a creative and outgoing guy looking to leave suburbia for city life and I’m tired of waiting for a job to grant me permission to move. People make it work and I want to be one of them. I have some savings and a hunger for something dynamic, and figure Reddit has always served me well in connecting with like-minded people.
I’m open to renting a room, a studio, or an alternative living arrangement like artist co-housing as long as it’s stable, safe, and a place for growth.
For the last year or so there has been a little voice in my head urging me to move to Philadelphia. It started with small things like seeing Philly in shows/media constantly, to then hearing songs on my Spotify about the city.
I grew up in Northern Colorado in a smallish city, and outside of a brief stint in the south of France I have never lived in a walkable, mixed-use, public transit oriented city and I have absolutely reached my limits on car dependent urban sprawl where people are either at home, work, or the bar.
I know Philly isn’t a utopia, but it’s a big step up from where I’m at and from what I’ve read it has a great community of artists and makers.
So, I’m looking for a place to land that won’t break the bank while I find my footing. I have some savings but would love to not burn through them entirely. I know the job market is likely going through the same thing everywhere, but I think I’ll have much more luck if I’m already in the city rather than applying from across the country.
