Come to Chicago. Rent is fucked I won't lie, but you can still find some cheap places. Depending on what you do (or are willing to do) there's plenty of work here. Our city is a far cry from perfect but we have a mayor who actually has the people's best interests in mind, we're politically active and quite progressive, there aren't enough free community resources but far more than most places, we have multiple forms of slightly shitty but fully functional mass transit, and weed is legal. Also, portions of the city are extremely walkable and bikeable.
You need a snappy title, and an opening theme song ... 'cause you've got a 70s sitcom on yer hands.
I friend of mine is moving from New Mexico to Chicago, so it checks out.
