All cities in the U.S. have individual pros and cons, so to speak, and it’s not a bad idea to compare them beforehand. Moving to a new place can be costly, time consuming and draining; hence why it’s best to make sure that it’s the right place for you!

When deciding which city you will call home you must keep in mind crime rates, neighborhoods, cost of living and schools. Whether they seem important to you now or not, they might be important when, and if, the time comes to sell.

If you looked at a satellite-enhanced map online and saw rows of rooftops, would you really know what kind of neighborhood it was? It is essential to scout out your potential neighborhood and do some in-depth research.

Consider the type of neighborhood you currently live in. Do you want to find one similar, or upgrade? If you have children, you might consider whether if there is a park nearby or similar family-oriented amenities. Use crime rates and public housing data to find a place in which you and your family will feel comfortable.

Cost of living is commonly overlooked when moving to a new city. Depending on where you are going, you run the risk of price shock.

You might think your current daycare costs are reasonable, but in larger cities – get ready to be surprised! Comparing food costs, list prices for houses, and even utilities will better prepare you to live based on your new salary and within your means.

If you have children, want children, or will never have children the school district has a huge influence on the potential house you choose. Not only in respect to school taxes but the school district can sometimes dictate the value of the house itself.

Big cities suffer from smog from large factories. Cars with their engines have become the main source of pollution in industrial countries. The forests Africa, South America and Asia are cut down for the needs of industries in Europe and the USA. As a result some species of animals, birds, fish and plants have disappeared and keep disappearing. Rivers and lakes dry up. One of the most known examples is the Aral Sea, which has become much smaller due to men’s activity.

The pollution of the air and of the world’s oceans and the thinning of the ozone layer nowadays are the main problems arising from man’s careless attitude to ecology.

In Russia and the former Soviet republics there are some areas where the environment is in a poor state. The Aral Sea, Lake Baikal, the Kuzbass, Semipalatinsk and Chernobyl are such problematic regions.

For decades nuclear weapons were tested near Semipalatinsk, and the ground is contaminated with radiation there.

More than 20 years ago a pulp-and-paper factory was built on the shore of Lake Baikal. As a result of the pollution, more than 50 % of the world’s purest water has been ruined. The whole ecological system of the lake has change greatly.
