The region you live in matters greatly. Take Dayton. It doesn't impact me as I have not been anywhere near Dayton in all the years I've live in Ohio. Columbus, on the other hand, is a really nice city with a great vibe. I'm guessing it could be like saying, "Don't move to California. Moving to Riverside was the worst decision of my life." The real message is don't move to places that are down and out.

Columbus did seem nicer when I visited. But is it really "not down and out"?

It's one of only 14 cities in the US to gain 100k residents in the last decade.

What startups has it produced in the last decade? Or, more knowably, the decade before that, 02002–02012?

Root insurance has been a recent one

CoverMyMeds another

At least for a Midwest city, investment does seem to be picking up

CoverMyMeds was the recent poster child ($1B exit). Ohio has a large focus on insurance and med/biotech.

CoverMyMeds, Root Insurance, and Olive are a couple of unicorns.
