OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 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 4-bed in South. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in retail. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally challenging. It took about 9 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: decent. Tons of options if you like Mexican.
Definitely worth checking out..

I've lived in Pine Hills for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from San Diego, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Active local events and festivals
- Good airport with direct flights
- The nightlife scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Nightlife is limited
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

As someone who grew up here, I have mixed feelings honestly. A lot has changed in the past few years though. cost of living used to be much pricey but now it's excellent.
