OK so I'm retired and Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Worth the trade-offs?

I've lived in Eastside for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Active local events and festivals
- The traffic scene is decent
The downsides:
- Homeless population growing downtown
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for singles. Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I'm a marketing manager and I've found there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The community is surprisingly good and there's always something going on.

I work in engineering here and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The job market for my field is improving. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
