Came here for a fresh start and stayed because there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The cultural scene is honestly solid and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem average.
I've been here 10 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the public transit is legit. And if you're into mountain biking, this place is underrated.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Greenfield side vs the Sunset side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I've been living here for 12 years and I'd say it was the best decision I ever made. The dating scene is better than expected compared to other places I've lived. Overall It's not for everyone but it works for us..
