Random thought, I'm a teacher here and Average temperature is around 76--F, so it's warm year-round. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Thanks!

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are hit or miss, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a software engineer who relocated here from Miami about 14 years ago. The main reasons were family and school.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Growing food and restaurant scene
Cons that are real:
- Limited entertainment options
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are stable, gas is better than expected.
Socially, it was the best decision I ever made. No regrets on my end..

As someone who grew up here, the quality of life is solid. A lot has changed in the past few years though. housing market used to be much stable but now it's tough.
