Reply to comment by Numerous-Mix-9775 in Why do so many people complain about living here but then never move? Genuinely curious, if you hate it that much why not leave??? by Many-Map5137

I agree with this. Sure, Springfield has its problems, but its a great place to live and raise a family. You can only see and realize this by living in other places for a while.

This.

The things here that are geared toward families with kids are very affordable and within a 20 minute drive.

That's a big deal as it's hard to find anything resembling a semi city lifestyle that's affordable for actual families. Most cities aren't and are often not kid friendly or a place you can raise a family.

Springfield certainly has issues, but I'd take it over somewhere like St Louis or Chicago.
