Anyone else feel this way? Been living here since 2012. Median household income is $48,544, which feels on the lower side for the area. Average temperature is around 53°F, so expect cold winters. It's a a mid-size city city with about 190K people. Poverty rate is 17.6%, which is higher than I expected. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The suburbs are where most families end up. Has anyone dealt with this? Looking forward to hearing from you all. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much.
