Is public transit usable in Dubuque?

Anyone else feel this way? The median home value here is around $193,100, which is actually reasonable. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Would love some local perspective. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

I've lived in Midtown for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Strong job market in several industries
- The public transit scene is better than expected

The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Limited high-paying job options

Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for families. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
