Downtown flooding.

10 minutes o' heavy rain & Market St.'s knee-deep & most streets become non-traversable unless big truck or hovercraft. This is sometimes a plus, of course, during off work hrs & one may have blow-up devices such as kayaks or small paddle boats. At least a handful of times per year campus area becomes rowing club.
Then the extreme heat really brings out the smell uv horse carriage trailings during scorching summer days.

If you absolutely, 100% despise Bill Murray, well, you stand a better chance of seeing his stupid face in Charleston than most other places.

A REAL JOB. There aren't a ton of them, unless you have value to a defense contractor. A high number of the other ones automatically go to Citadel grads.

Who better to make mega-bucks working for a defense contractor than a murderous warlord who actually enjoys some good old fashioned killing?

You probably should start your own band of mercenaries.

You could then use them to distract the world from the mutant army.

The mutant army needs to be paraded in full view of the public eye to inspire the proper level of terror amongst humankind.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO PHILADELPHIA?
Mar 13, 2014, 8:19 AM

Just like that, only warmer weather and different accents. This is in the city.
If you like beaches with murky water and brownish sand, there's that also.
Cost of living is high, lots of transplants, not close to anything.
So no, no great reason to live there IMO. Not even a great place to visit outside of the token 1 trip per year to eat and look at historic stuff.
