Buffalo, NY - Not a usual place for a SWE in the US to end up, but I picked it for the culture, climate and COL. I'm thankful for remote work to make this choice possible.

Pros: Snow. Greenery. Great Lakes. Climate change safety. Rust-belt esthetic. Great food scene. Friendly people. Low COL. Well located to explore North America.

Cons: Miss shopping amenities from tier 1 cities. But, Toronto is a short 1.5 hr drive away.
