Been meaning to ask this. My family moved here when I was a kid. Average temperature is around 62--F, so the weather is moderate. The median home value here is around $441,200, which is pretty steep. The unemployment rate is 1.9%, which is pretty low. Poverty rate is 1.7%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $441,200 on average. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The weather takes some getting used to. Am I wrong here? Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The city has invested a lot in new development. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The food scene here is surprisingly good. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.
