Worst things about living in Green Bay

Look, I love Green Bay, but let's be real about the downsides:

Traffic can be bad during rush hour

Job market is niche

Crime in certain neighborhoods is a real concern

Don't get me wrong, it's still a great place overall. But people should know what they're getting into.

Don't sleep on Midtown. It's up and coming and still affordable.

Totally agree with this. I've been here 3 years and my experience is very similar.

I've lived in University District for 5 years and it's still one of the best decisions I made.

For families, I'd recommend looking at Maple Heights. Schools are rated well and it's quiet.

Good summary. I'd rate it higher personally — maybe 6/10.
