The food scene here is average. Tons of great Mexican places. it's not perfect but it works for me.

I've been living here for 15 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The public transit is pretty good compared to other places I've lived. Overall Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want dating scene, then yeah this place is great. But if outdoor recreation matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value pet-friendliness, you'll love it. The walkability is genuinely challenging and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. My neighborhood (East) is manageable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Boston, be prepared for the culture shock. job market is completely different here. And Limited public transit options.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
