I'm looking for any type of input or advice.

What neighborhood (not suburb) do you recommend I live in? Here are some details that might impact your feedback:

• I'm a single cat lady in her 30s who wants to live alone (please laugh with me, not at me!)
• I'm childfree, so schools don't matter to me
• I'm looking for queer community (not like Chicago's Boystown)
• I'm looking for Asian community (not necessarily like Chicago's Chinatown, but more like Uptown/Argyle)
• I'm atheist (please help me avoid vehement Christianity)
• I'm looking for leftist volunteer opportunities (Planned Parenthood is already on my list)
• I prefer hosting social gatherings instead of going out to bars, so I prefer living someplace that is easy for my friends to get to, whether by driving or public transportation
• I prefer being a "local" at bars/restaurants that I like, but it's not a priority for me to live close to the action
• I enjoy going to museums
• I'm not outdoorsy (except for going to the Missouri Botanical Garden)

Here are some additional questions I have:

• How do you recommend that I move from Chicago to St. Louis? Do you have recommended movers? (Some long-distance ones have scary reviews)
• Politically, for those that moved from a blue state to this red state, how do you feel? Alternatively, how do you feel being in St. Louis compared to the rest of Missouri (does it feel like a safe blue pocket)?
• I went to college in Springfield, MO in the early 2010s, how do you feel Missouri has changed since then?
• I found an apartment that I like in DeBaliviere Place. What are your opinions of that neighborhood?

Why am I interested in moving to St. Louis?

• I hope to work at WashU
• I feel too close (distance-wise) to my toxic family who lives in near Milwaukee, yet I'm in driving distance if I need to go home for any emergency
• I want to escape a toxic ex and find a healthier long-term relationship
• I like the weather in Missouri (slightly warmer than Chicago, but still comfortably Midwest)
• I'm somewhat comfortable with Missouri since I went to college here, but I'm scared to return to a red state, especially considering my identities

I hope I've provided enough information to help guide your input! Thanks in advance!
