Parking spot is usually rare in cheaper housing because city space is a premium. On street parking is possible.

In unit laundry is unfortunately very rare because our housing stock is mostly 100 year old buildings that weren’t build for it, so adding in unit laundry is a big project for a unit owner.

City compensation is usually much higher. I make probably more than double than I would in the middle of nowhere. YMMV of course, especially based on industry. If you’re in tech, finance, or biotech id imagine you should end up doing much better here than the Midwest (except perhaps Chicago)
