Moving to Hammonton with kids -good idea?

So, Born and raised here. The unemployment rate is 5.2%, which is about average. Poverty rate is 7.9%, which is pretty low. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 3 years here, that's my honest assessment.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Portland and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Old Town. It's average for what you get.

Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in legal. If you're in legal you might struggle.

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like Southern.

No regrets on my end..
