Is Conning Towers-Nautilus Park good for remote workers?

Anyone else feel this way? I've been here for 7 years and It's a a small town city with about 8,590 people. Household incomes average around $78,738 in Conning Towers-Nautilus Park. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Thoughts?

I'm a project manager and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. The community is excellent and there's always something going on.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a physical therapist who relocated here from Miami about 10 years ago. The main reasons were work and a fresh start.

Pros I've experienced:
- Good schools in most areas
- Strong job market in several industries
- Affordable housing options

Cons that are real:
- Nightlife is limited
- Homeless population growing downtown

Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are affordable, gas is underrated.

Socially, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
