Property taxes are high but you get good services. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Am I overthinking this? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The suburbs are where most families end up.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 9 years ago from San Diego and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in East. It's better than expected for what you get.

Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in marketing. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.

People: Generally better than expected. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: decent. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Weather-wise, the summers are decent and winters are manageable. You get used to it after the first year.
