OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from New York and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Greenfield. It's average for what you get.

Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in healthcare. If you're in construction you might struggle.

People: Generally improving. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Korean.

It's not for everyone but it works for us..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Internet is surprisingly good in most areas.
