hey, I actually kinda really like Orlando.
In all seriousness, do you mean the city itself or the suburbs?

I think I’ve been to three or four different spots in Florida and I generally found some thing I modestly enjoy about all of them. Except for Orlando. It felt very much like a unpleasant tourist trap. Although I have a friend who grew up in the suburbs and seemed to generally like the area.

I'd put Orlando up as my least favorite FL city, but it's because of the tourists and the traps.  I'm not interested in the theme parks at all.  The city part itself is OK, traffic of course, I think living on the outskirts could be fine, in the right place.

downtown Orlando and nearby suburban areas like Winter Park are really damn nice.

anywhere off I-4 near the theme parks or the outlet malls- terrible. nightmare. and I feel like that is the Orlando 99.9% of people visiting see.

Haven't been to Orlando in about 20 years or so, but I recall really like it.  What I enjoyed at 20ish might be different than what I'd enjoy at 40-whatever-I-am-now.

The only reason I can imagine to have these things is "clicks".  The final one matters of course, but only for the top ten or so, really top 4.  Whether a team is at 15 or 18 ... meh.  They have a whole show to reveal these.  They start late in the season of course for some reason, as opposed to just having them come out in final form.

Football is weird.

My other quibble is, imagine OSU beats UM in a situation where UM outplays OSU but some freak happenings give it to OSU, and then UM drops in the rankings to 6 or so.  Anyone watching the game understands UM looked a lot better but had some tough breaks.

Analysis: Atlanta ranked No. 2 hottest rental market in the country | Urbanize Atlanta

Detroit is third, Minny if first, Cincy is fourth.  This is calculated apparently by some meaure of vacancies.  So, a place that has few vacancies ranks high even if demand is modest.

in my daughter's example, Minnie seems to be very expensive

course she's in West Maka Ska, formerly known as West Calhoun, a neighborhood in the city of Minneapolis
