Considering Goshen vs Minneapolis -help me decide

So, The median home value here is around $175,200, which is actually reasonable. Crime rate is something to consider -Goshen sits at 111.3 per 100K. It's a a smaller city city with about 34,374 people. The weather takes some getting used to. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The weather takes some getting used to. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

I've lived in Maple Ridge for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's been a really good experience overall. When I first moved here from Boston, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- The pet-friendliness scene is tough

The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Far from beaches/mountains

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for remote workers. Good luck with whatever you decide..
