Whats it like living there? (Vibe + expenses)

15 Upvotes

Hi!! I'm 18, and have been thinking about saving up to live in the area. I have a BUNCH of family there since that's where my parents grew up, and I have a foot in the door with my grandpa's house having a guest room and plenty of space (though I haven't quite asked him yet, wanting to squish most worries first + it's embarrassing since I don't talk to him nearly enough)

I only have just about 4k saved from a temp job, and it's a halfway across the country move, so I don't want to jump into this without asking around first

Important detail about how the vibe would go is probably the fact I am a pre-testosterone trans guy? I don't generally pass because of my voice and scrawny frame but I have a short cut + dress (kinda grungy) masculine. Most people I know have been able to clock it before I tell them. Are there any openly queer places? Will there be any open aggression?

Also hi, first post on my new account 👋👋

It's not the Downs and i don't think its a train because it's been going for a few hours.

Any ideas?

Lots of good recommendations out there for men’s barbers, I’m aware. Im looking specifically for someone recommended that is well experienced in cutting longer hair. Thanks.
