Cost of living reality check -Carson City

Curious what people think. I'm a teacher here and Average temperature is around 52--F, so expect cold winters. Crime rate is something to consider -Carson City sits at 488.0 per 100K. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Let me know your thoughts. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

I work in engineering here and it exceeded my expectations. The job market for my field is solid. No regrets on my end..

Public transit is pretty good here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I genuinely enjoy living here.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Salt Lake City and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in East. It's pretty good for what you get.

Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in tech. If you're in real estate you might struggle.

People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like craft beer.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..
