Clarkston vs Tampa -which is better?

I'm a teacher here and The unemployment rate is 6.4%, which is concerning. Household incomes average around $46,495 in Clarkston. It's a a small town city with about 14,560 people. Rent is about $1,355/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 26.7%, which is higher than I expected. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The weather takes some getting used to. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Pros:
- Good job market
- Growing food scene
- Good schools
- Walkable downtown

Cons:
- Cold winters
- Poor road conditions
- Far from major airports
Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up.
