Is public transit usable in Fitzgerald?

Hello, My partner and I are The median home value here is around $99,900, which is actually reasonable. Median household income is $36,515, which feels on the lower side for the area. Rent is about $669/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 19.9%, which is higher than I expected. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. What would you do? It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The suburbs are where most families end up. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

I've lived in Westside for about 4 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by public transit. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The cultural scene scene is better than expected

The downsides:
- Nightlife is limited
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for couples. Good luck with whatever you decide..
