I’ve been stuck in rural/suburban hell for most of my life because it was what I could afford.

Yeah. I was living in a ratty townhouse inside Houston's Beltway 8 with no less than four other roommates way back in 2009. It wasn't always great, but you can't argue with $300/mo rent. When I moved out with my then-girlfriend, I was immediately paying more than $800/mo. And then rental prices skyrocketed, so we found the first affordable home we could grab and locked ourselves in.

I will say this about roommates. Between the four of us, we were either going to a house party someone knew about or we were hosting one, pretty much every weekend. Great way to meet people.

TBH, the city I’m going to move to is kind of small as well.

Small is relative. You're in a place with north of 50,000 people and your odds of meeting someone go way up. Live in a big city with 2.4M people and the odds are even better, of course.

But I found a nice little beach volleyball spot about 20 minutes drive from my home. Never had a hard time meeting other people while I was playing.
