I think what turns a lot people off about Manchester is that it’s overwhelmingly low income (and we’re all aware that a large part of the city is brownskinned, and that’s too scary for a lot of people) so there aren’t any super swank neighborhoods and a lot of the city is run down, and people automatically equate that to very bad/dangerous. Shit happens there and I’m happier where I am now but it’s not a place where people move to die

If someone can’t handle living in Manchester for a few years they probably can’t handle living in a real city unless it’s in a guarded building and they never go anywhere other than their own neighborhood
