OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 9 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Springfield. It's excellent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in education you might struggle.

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: tough. Tons of options if you like Asian.

It's not for everyone but it works for us..
