Anyone else feel this way? The unemployment rate is 3.3%, which is pretty low. The city has invested a lot in new development. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Thoughts? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The suburbs are where most families end up.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a software engineer who relocated here from Denver about 7 years ago. The main reasons were a fresh start and a job opportunity.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Nice parks and green spaces
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Can feel isolated
Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are reasonable, gas is solid.
Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
