I've been living here for 12 years and I'd say it's not perfect but it works for me. The healthcare is hit or miss compared to other places I've lived. Overall Happy to answer more specific questions..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.
I've been here 10 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is weather. It's manageable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the nightlife is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is challenging.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Sunset side vs the South side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. I'm still on the fence after all this time. Compared to Raleigh it's improving.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a software engineer who relocated here from Baltimore about 11 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Good healthcare facilities
- Decent public transit for the size
Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Property taxes are high
Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are wild, gas is surprisingly good.
Socially, it's improved dramatically in recent years. Feel free to reach out with questions..

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 1-bedroom. I have mixed feelings honestly. Compared to Miami it's solid.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a software engineer who relocated here from Baltimore about 3 years ago. The main reasons were weather and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good internet infrastructure
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Property taxes are high
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are growing, gas is surprisingly good.
Socially, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. No regrets on my end..
