Just moved to Danbury, any tips?
Alright, The city has invested a lot in new development. Would love some local perspective. Cheers.

Public transit is better than expected here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a chef who relocated here from Raleigh about 6 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and cost of living.
Pros I've experienced:
- Lots of new development happening
- Active local events and festivals
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
Financially, we've found it improving compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are stable, gas is pretty good.
Socially, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
