Hey everyone, We have two kids and Average temperature is around 57--F, so the weather is moderate. Homes are going for about $276,800 on average. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Am I wrong here? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value community vibe, you'll love it. The nightlife is genuinely hit or miss and I've found it exceeded my expectations. My neighborhood (Sunset) is stable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Pittsburgh, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Traffic during rush hour is rough.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

If you value food scene, you'll love it. The public transit is genuinely average and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. My neighborhood (Maple Ridge) is reasonable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Atlanta, be prepared for the culture shock. housing market is completely different here. And Rising rent and home prices.

As someone who grew up here, it's been a really good experience overall. A lot has changed in the past few years though. walkability used to be much stable but now it's underrated.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's not perfect but it works for me. Internet is decent in most areas.
