Haslett is underrated, change my mind

It's a a small town city with about 19,025 people. Poverty rate is 4.6%, which is pretty low. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Should I be concerned?

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are better than expected, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

I've lived in West for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Minneapolis, I was surprised by weather. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Lots of new development happening
- Good airport with direct flights
- The weather scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Dating scene is rough

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for young professionals. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
