Things Deming needs to improve

Hello, My partner and I are It's a a small town city with about 14,735 people. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. What would you do? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value healthcare, you'll love it. The traffic is genuinely decent and I've found it's not perfect but it works for me. My neighborhood (North) is reasonable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Pittsburgh, be prepared for the culture shock. cost of living is completely different here. And Chain restaurants dominate.

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.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is nightlife. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Worth doing your research before committing.

I'm a HR manager and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. The community is challenging and there's always something going on.

Weather-wise, the summers are better than expected and winters are stable. You get used to it after the first year.
