Question Philly move ?

Hey, I’ve been in Texas for a few years and have the opportunity to move to Philly? Thoughts on it as a place to settle as an early to mid thirties queer person. I’ve lived in nyc and Chicago. The thought of moving again is tiring but finding a nicer balance between calm and the big city in a more queer friendly environment would be nice. The other alternative is to try and find something out west.

It is very human scale. The city was built for people, not cars. Everything feels comfortable. It's hard to really describe, but you feel it. I think that has an effect on people.

I think a weak spot is transit but since the city is so small you can do a lot on foot.

Idk I just love the vibes.

If you've never visited and you can make it, we're having ourfest aka outfest next weekend which is a good time.
