Milan is not great. It’s a congested city and a bit dirty. There’s plenty of other places. Florence for example.

These days in Milan all you hear is the Islamic call to prayer, feels like being in Istanbul.

I had no idea. I spent a few weeks in Milan a few years ago and did not hear that Islamic call to prayer. Is that a new thing? Why did it start?

Milan is a good city man. Great clubs like old fashion, just Cavalli etc that have something going on each day of the week. They have student nights on Tuesday and Wednesday. Their metro system is pretty efficient, the trams take you everywhere. The food is decent, women are great looking, it’s walkable, safer than most of the other cities that I have been to. Unless you live in a ghetto like Rozzano etc it’s a good city. Brera, the area around montenapoleone is very beautiful. The bars are great and the weather is not too bad too. Lago di Como and Lugano, two gorgeous places are an hour or so away.

There are pockets of Milan which are bad just like every other city

I wish I could go back.

Milan is a real living breathing city while Florence is a time capsule tourist city. I say this in the best way possible for Florence, I loved the time I spent there. But living there for an extended period time sounds less appealing to me than a vacation. I spent several weeks working in Milan and living the day to day, and found it to be a great place to do exactly that.

If I didn't have to be in Milan I'd probably live somewhere around lake como (not como or bellagio etc. because they get insanely crowded) and then you're only a train ride away from Milan if you feel like shopping or whatever. Milan would be a fantastic hub though, super connected train station, airport
