Random thought, My family moved here when I was a kid. It's a a smaller city city with about 28,281 people. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Am I wrong here? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

Weather-wise, the summers are excellent and winters are competitive. You get used to it after the first year.

Hot take but it's not perfect but it works for me. I know a lot of people disagree but after 5 years here, that's my honest assessment.

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

I've lived in East for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
the quality of life is solid. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- The dating scene scene is tough
The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Can feel isolated
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for families. Happy to answer more specific questions..
