Not sure if this has been asked before, but I work in government and Poverty rate is 5.6%, which is pretty low. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Am I overthinking this?

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is pet-friendliness. I genuinely enjoy living here. Worth doing your research before committing.

I've lived in The Heights for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I love the pace of life here. When I first moved here from Tampa, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Strong job market in several industries
- The safety scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for couples. Definitely worth checking out..

I work in construction here and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The job market for my field is excellent. Good luck with whatever you decide..

Public transit is decent here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I have mixed feelings honestly.

I've lived in Sunset for about 12 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 Denver, I was surprised by housing market. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Strong sense of community
- The nightlife scene is solid
The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for remote workers. Definitely worth checking out..

I'm a contractor and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. The community is tough and there's always something going on.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's exactly what I was looking for. Internet is pretty good in most areas.
