Thinking about relocating to Greensboro from Austin

Anyone else feel this way? I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Poverty rate is 13.6%, which is around average. It's a a mid-size city city with about 299K people. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Does this match your experience?

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is pet-friendliness. I genuinely enjoy living here. Worth doing your research before committing.

Renting here right now, paying about /mo for a 3-bedroom. I love the pace of life here. Compared to LA it's decent.

The food scene here is better than expected. Tons of great Mexican places. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

I've lived in North for about 1 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. When I first moved here from Portland, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Nice parks and green spaces
- The job market scene is excellent

The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Limited entertainment options

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for singles. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
