Hi all, I'd say it's better for families than young singles. What are your go-to spots? The food scene here is surprisingly good.

Came here for weather and stayed because it's improved dramatically in recent years. The safety is honestly underrated and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value outdoor recreation, you'll love it. The dating scene is genuinely hit or miss and I've found it exceeded my expectations. My neighborhood (Westside) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from New York, be prepared for the culture shock. job market is completely different here. And Winters are long and cold.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
