Raising a family in El Granada -thoughts?
Been meaning to ask this. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Anyone in a similar situation?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a lawyer who relocated here from Chicago about 1 years ago. The main reasons were weather and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Diverse dining options
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Limited high-paying job options
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are pricey, gas is challenging.
Socially, it's exactly what I was looking for. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
