I have lived all across the country. There are hundred of things to consider. Crime, Police response, taxes, The people, Environment, Social constructs etc. But 1 simple thing give you a huge sign of what the city is about. 1 simple thing to determine if the city is a good place to live or not.

Parking meters.

If the city has even one. This tells you everything you need to now what the city is about. I never travel to or live in or work in any city with Parking meters.

this tells you everything you need to know about city officials and what they think of you.

Nice, that's a very interesting observation. Will have to keep that in mind going forward.

Parking meters means he city is out for $. It will mean read light cameras, Parking tickets. Toll roads, tow trucks, High taxes, High Sales tax or income tax or both, and every other way they can think of to milk you.

I had a good job offer across the state. I google mapped it and found it had parking meters out front and no parking for the business. I canceled my interview just on that.
