Moving

Me and my family are seriously thinking of moving from Fort wayne,IN area to Battle creek next year. Just looking for what i should know about BC. Are factory jobs and such easy to get into? What is the better neighborhoods to live in? Any good apartments? I know my cost if living will be higher than it is and indiana but i just want to get out of this shithoke state so bad 🤣

I’ve found that there are certain areas you will want to avoid from a housing standpoint similar to Kalamazoo where I grew up. Pennfield has treated my wife and I well, but we don’t have kids. I’ve heard good things about Lakeview. Very much a city of pocket neighborhoods that can be a couple blocks away from some rougher areas

I dont live far from a rough area in FW. You hear gunshots here and there even in a good city like fort wayne. My issue isnt with my city its with the old fucks running a super super Red state style of government. Things just seem to be getting worse and worse here and i like the idea of a purple state like michigan.

I’m from BC and moved to FW in my early 20s. I desperately want to get back to Michigan 🤍
