OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Downtown. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in legal. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally better than expected. It took about 5 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like craft beer.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from San Diego and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Downtown. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in retail. If you're in real estate you might struggle.
People: Generally excellent. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: decent. Tons of options if you like sushi.
Good luck with whatever you decide..

Hot take but it's been a really good experience overall. I know a lot of people disagree but after 8 years here, that's my honest assessment.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Springfield. It's improving for what you get.
Jobs: The market is affordable right now, especially in government. If you're in tech you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 13 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: average. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
