Let me know your thoughts. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Property taxes are high but you get good services.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Internet is better than expected in most areas.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from New York and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Eastside. It's excellent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in education. If you're in education you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.
