• Indianapolis - No. While SF's flagship mall goes down the tubes, Indy's Circle Centre Mall just sold to Hendicks (who hit a home run with Ironworks), who have outlined over half-a-billion in investment. Indy would be a close 2nd to the US' post-war capital behind Dallas.

• Nashville - The new Atlanta is on your list? C'mon, man. The last time I was there two months ago there were 4 of the US' tallest construction cranes spread out in places I never would have imagined, like Germantown and The Gulch. Place is a development nightmare. Criminals still get arrested and must post bail.

• St. Louis - The good side of the Missouri River is growing exponentially. Stroke of luck that the airport is nearby, and you can get in and out of downtown and the universities without much concern. Not a fan but not on this list.

The Indianapolis murder rate has been steadily climbing for more than a decade.

Nashville was a focal point of the Democrat Riots of 2020. They even set the courthouse on fire.

St. Louis, in 2020, broke their record for murder at 30% higher than any year in the past 50. They were also a focal point of the Democrat Riots of 2020. In just one evening, four police officers were shot by rioters.
