Is Hazard worth it salary-wise?
Curious what people think. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. What do you all think?

As someone who grew up here, it exceeded my expectations. A lot has changed in the past few years though. outdoor recreation used to be much growing but now it's challenging.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Tampa and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Midtown. It's challenging for what you get.
Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in consulting. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.
People: Generally solid. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: decent. Tons of options if you like craft beer.
No regrets on my end..

Bought a house here in 2016 and it's been a really good experience overall. Property values have gone about the same since then.

I've lived in Uptown for about 9 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Baltimore, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Good internet infrastructure
- The job market scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Rising rent and home prices
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for couples. Definitely worth checking out..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it was the best decision I ever made. Internet is average in most areas.
