Reply #7: Milwaukee is a great area [View All]

Milwaukee is a great area. I live on the south side of the city, and you feel like you are in the country, yet downtown is only 20 min away. As for your specific questions,

1. ABsolutely. Wisconsinites are very friendly. We have the old fashioned Midwestern hospitality that you do not find many other places.
2-3. Milwaukee's unemployment rate is one of the lowest in the state. There are many companies that would hire a programmer, from Harley, to Miller, and any number of the financial services companies located downtown. We also have 2 major universities in the city, Marquette and UW-Milwaukee.
4. The houses behind where I live are roughly $250,000-$300,000 for new construction. You can find a lot of housing for less than $350,000.
5. Make sure to move into the First congressional district so you can vote for me! J/K, well... Milwaukee is one of the most segregated cities in the country. So, if that bothers you, as it does me, it can either be cause for you to not move here, or move here to help fix the problem.

Those are my thoughts. If you have any questions, PM me, and I will answer anything else you may have.
