City Grades

Gijón

>Crime
B. Really low in general. Although most of the crime is spanish dishonesty or overlooking the rules. But violent crimes are rare and the streets are safe.

>Aesthetic
A. Great, it's a very touristic town (I'd use city, but for international standards it would be a joke) But if you are looking for modern buildings, then perhaps B

>Things to do
B. Great to spend time with some friends, but most of the real fun comes from trekking, sight-seeing, going to the beach, and visiting the entire region.

>Weather
D. It rains a lot, but sometimes you can have entire weeks with blue skies.

It's colder than the rest of Spain below the coastal mountain range and the mediterranean provinces. But that's also a big advantage in Summer

>Natural Disasters
A. Sea storms and lots of wind. But they are rare.

>Relevancy
A. The biggest town in the region and one of the most important in the north
D. Compared to the rest of Spain

>History
C. There were iberian tribes prior to the romans, and then the romans of course. And we were bombed by the nazis along with many other places in the north to help Franco's coup.

There're also lots of cultural traditions in the region.

>Housing
D. Renting is expensive compared with the neighbouring villages
B. Compared with bigger cities like Madrid or Barcelona

>Location
A+. The north is the best part of Spain, and there are motorways to travel really fast to other regions up here. Not to mention that the whole country is the size of Texas.

>>73148969
And the food is sublime. Spanish food is excelent, but the food in the north is one of the best in the whole world. And rather healthy.

>>73148969
And there are regular and cheap flights between Asturias and London

The worst thing of Asturias is the unemployment. It's rather high compared with the rest of the country, which is, at the same time, shitty

A+ easily the best summers in the country
>natural disasters
B+ semi-regular fires in the summer, but they're contained to the scarp

Corruption Rampant

>Relevancy
D. Maybe somewhat relevant in Brazil, a shittier version of São Paulo if you will.

>History
F. Garbage, not worth knowing. ''Muh'' german/pole ancestors.

>Housing
F. Not cheap, even if it were, you have to live in this hellhole so not worth it.

>Location
F. Nothing really good close to us, Europe, USA, Japan etc all very far away. Next best thing is Argentina...... let that sink in.

Detroit

Closest big city most recognized internationally is Vancouver, but I live in
>>White Rock
>Crime
A+. Very low crime here it's a small city with a very wealthy population, there are a few homeless around of course but it's marginal compared to many other places

>Aesthetic
A+. tons of multi-million dollar homes here, the city is right on the water and has great mountain views

>Things to do
A. It's about a ~10 minute drive to the U.S. border, if even that. The beach is a huge tourist destination in the Spring and especially Summer, tons of watersports, a few cool stores on the waterfront with some decent nightlife close by, it's about 50 kilometers to Vancouver so you have that too, tons of mountains to climb in Summer and ski/snowboard runs in the Winter.

>Weather
B-. Fucking sucks in the Winter and Fall, super rainy and grey all the time. Summers are great here though, and White Rock in particular is usually the sunniest area of the fraser valley.

>Natural Disasters
B. We're supposed to have a badass earthquake here pretty soon which will fuck a lot of shit up, we won't get a tsunami or anything on our immediate shores in my city but the west coast of Vancouver Island will get rekt, along with a probably a lot of stuff on the continent's west coast.

>Relevancy
D. Just a lot of rich people living here, we're a huge tourist destination in the warm months like I said earlier but other than that we're nothing too important

>History
F. Nothing except for natives here before all the fancy houses got built

>Housing
A+ if you have millions of dollars. You have to have money to live here, most people in this city have a lot of money. If you don't have money, forget about it.

>Location
A+. Vancouver is about a 45 minute drive away, it's about a ~4 hour drive to Seattle, and we have some of the best weather in the country.

Guess I'm pretty lucky. Pic related

>Relevancy
C: The only reason why we are even relevant at all is because of quakes and the seat of government is located here, otherwise we get overshadowed by Auckland
>History
F: Nothing except for some colonial history
>Housing
A: The city itself has nice but expensive as fuck housing while the nearby cities of Hutt and Porirua have shittier but more affordable housing (with a few exceptions)
>Location
D: The only thing we got going for is were located in the centre of the country, the big problem we have (alongside every other major city in NZ) is were too far away from everybody, even between each other. It takes around 8 or 9 hours to drive from Wellington to Tauranga for fuck sakes

>Flagstaff
>Crime
B. Miscellaneous stuff happens on campus, lots of weed busts, nothing violent for the most part.

Don't forget our congressman who's doing 10 years on racketeering charges. Chicago is probably the only city that outcurrupts us, but it doesn't have a huge effect on day to day living

>Calgary
>Crime
A. Maybe I'm just a sheltered flower, but I've never had a problem with anyone.

A-. Calgary is a very new city, there is hardly exposed power lines and the roads are very wide. Also the architecture is modern and nice.
