OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Chicago and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in The Heights. It's tough for what you get.

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

People: Generally tough. It took about 9 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: solid. Tons of options if you like craft beer.

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