Anyone else love living in Homewood?

Alright, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Poverty rate is 3.7%, which is pretty low. The city has invested a lot in new development. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
