Job market in Hesperia for tech?

Hi all, My family moved here when I was a kid. Median household income is $68,971, which feels about average for the area. Poverty rate is 14.3%, which is around average. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The suburbs are where most families end up. Would love some local perspective.

Bought a house here in 2017 and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Property values have gone down slightly since then.

Public transit is solid here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's not perfect but it works for me.

Came here for school and stayed because it's improved dramatically in recent years. The cost of living is honestly better than expected and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I've lived in Highland for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Denver, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- The cost of living scene is underrated

The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Homeless population growing downtown

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for retirees. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
