Hey, I'm a teacher here and The median home value here is around $953,400, which is pretty steep. Poverty rate is 6.3%, which is pretty low. The unemployment rate is 3.3%, which is pretty low.

- Hot summers
- Sprawl everywhere
- Boring for young people
- Far from major airports
- Homelessness issues downtown
