Born and raised in Springfield- family still lives there. Don’t do it. I moved and don’t miss it at all. Anytime I go back, it gets worse. My sister 28f lives alone in Springfield (east side aka “safe side”) and has had so many sketchy experiences while I’ve lived in 5 other states - and have never felt unsafe like I do when I visit home. Also the rent to wages is horrible and not sustainable. Healthcare is also backwards there and my family has to go to St. Louis for better care. I can’t think of a single reason to move there.

I forgot to mention that my sister is single and has difficulties dating people who don’t have children already/divorced in Springfield vs more modern cities wait longer to get married/have kids so the dating pool is better.
