Music lovers, people who want Edinburgh culture at half the price and twice the authenticity, incredible food scene that emerged from nowhere in the last decade, world-class art galleries that are entirely free.
Glasgow has the highest rate of drug-related deaths in Europe. It also has the friendliest people in the UK by almost every measure. Both things are true simultaneously and both tell you something real about the city's soul.
Living costs are genuinely affordable here — your money goes further than in most Western cities. Climate is seasonal but manageable — winters exist but don't dominate. Sun is scarce — grey skies are the norm for much of the year. Internet is world-class — fast and reliable throughout the city. Building deep community is genuinely possible — locals are open and connections run deep. There is genuine depth to explore beyond the obvious.
Binary signals — not scores.

The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is one of the great free museums in the world. Locals treat it like a living room — people sit in the cafe there for hours on Saturday. The pipe organ recitals are free too.
These are the numbers. But numbers don't move to a new city — you do.
