Blacksburg job market vs Las Vegas

I grew up here but left for a while. You can expect to pay around $1,290 for rent here. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. What would you do?

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from Baltimore and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in North. It's hit or miss for what you get.

Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Southern.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..
