If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I genuinely enjoy living here. Internet is improving in most areas.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a social worker who relocated here from Raleigh about 9 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and a fresh start.
Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Good airport with direct flights
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Property taxes are high
- Road conditions need improvement
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are manageable, gas is average.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Public transit is decent here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I love the pace of life here.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from Phoenix 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 Old Town. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in finance. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally pretty good. It took about 3 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like BBQ.
