Hi all, The unemployment rate is 2.2%, which is pretty low. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Does this match your experience? The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

My experience has been mostly positive. I'm still on the fence after all this time. The only thing I'd watch out for is weather. Other than that, Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I genuinely enjoy living here. Good luck with whatever you decide..
