Anyone else feel this way? I work in energy and Crime rate is something to consider -Azusa sits at 285.7 per 100K. The unemployment rate is 3.9%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 65--F, so the weather is moderate. It's a a smaller city city with about 49,318 people. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown
- Good internet infrastructure

Cons:
- High property taxes
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Not enough green space
Worth the trade-offs? The weather takes some getting used to. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
