Anyone else feel this way? I'm a college student here and Average temperature is around 60°F, so the weather is moderate. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Thanks in advance! There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

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

- Limited public transit options
- Nightlife is limited
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for retirees. Feel free to reach out with questions..

My experience has been mostly positive. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The only thing I'd watch out for is job market. Other than that, Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
