OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Denver and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Midtown. It's solid for what you get.

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

People: Generally underrated. It took about 5 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Southern.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Hot take but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. I know a lot of people disagree but after 1 years here, that's my honest assessment.
