Is it worth buying in Economy?

First post here. I'm retired and Crime rate is something to consider -Economy sits at 53.6 per 100K. Average temperature is around 52--F, so expect cold winters. Household incomes average around $94,430 in Economy. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

Pros:
- Great weather
- Growing food scene
- Good internet infrastructure
- Good airport connections

Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Not very walkable
- Poor road conditions
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homelessness issues downtown
TIA! People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Hot take but the quality of life is solid. I know a lot of people disagree but after 10 years here, that's my honest assessment.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I love the pace of life here. Internet is average in most areas.

As someone who grew up here, it's not perfect but it works for me. A lot has changed in the past few years though. housing market used to be much developing but now it's decent.
