Public transit is pretty good here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I genuinely enjoy living here.

We moved here with our family and I have mixed feelings honestly. Schools in The Heights area are underrated. Kids love it here.

Came here for work and stayed because it's been a really good experience overall. The cultural scene is honestly solid and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a marketing manager who relocated here from Austin about 3 years ago. The main reasons were weather and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Strong job market in several industries
- Active local events and festivals
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Limited high-paying job options
Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are manageable, gas is excellent.
Socially, it exceeded my expectations. No regrets on my end..

Used to live on the West side, now on the Sunset side. Completely different vibe. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

I'm a marketing manager who relocated here from Nashville about 9 years ago. The main reasons were family and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good airport with direct flights
Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Homeless population growing downtown
Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are reasonable, gas is tough.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Good luck with whatever you decide..

Hot take but it's improved dramatically in recent years. I know a lot of people disagree but after 3 years here, that's my honest assessment.
