Alright, I'm a teacher here and The median home value here is around $162,900, which is actually reasonable. The weather takes some getting used to. TIA! Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value cost of living, you'll love it. The dating scene is genuinely tough and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. My neighborhood (North) is growing and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Dallas, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Property taxes are high.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
