Biggest downsides of living in East Hartford?

Been meaning to ask this. My family moved here when I was a kid. Median household income is $66,943, which feels about average for the area. With a population of 50,798, East Hartford is a smaller city. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Any advice would be great. Looking forward to hearing from you all. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want healthcare, then yeah this place is great. But if cost of living matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

The food scene here is solid. Tons of great Korean places. it's not perfect but it works for me.
