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.

Used to live on the North side, now on the Lakewood side. Completely different vibe. it was the best decision I ever made.

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.
