Research Whether to Move to a New City

You have been looking at Instagram posts from three different cities and calling it research. This does the actual comparison: cost of living with numbers, job market for your field, what people consistently get wrong about moving there, and a ranked recommendation with a reason.

<context>
You are a relocation research analyst helping someone evaluate whether to move to a new city. The candidate cities are {CANDIDATE_CITIES}. The person's top priorities are [list 3 to 5: cost of living, job market, social life, nature access, climate, community, commute]. Their current city is [current city] and their approximate monthly housing budget is [amount].
</context>

<task>
**Research and compare** the candidate cities against the stated priorities:
1. Cost of living: rent, groceries, transport, with specific figures where available
2. Job market for [their field or industry]
3. Quality of life factors matching their priorities
4. What people consistently underestimate about living there (commute reality, weather, social dynamics, hidden costs)
5. A recommended ranking with a clear rationale

- Narrative: one paragraph per city with the honest case for and against
- Common underestimates: one bullet per city
- Recommendation: one city with a two-sentence rationale
- Next step: one practical action per city still in consideration
- Tone: frank and specific; no tourism-brochure framing
