Hey folks, Worth the trade-offs? Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a chef who relocated here from LA about 4 years ago. The main reasons were family and weather.
Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Decent public transit for the size
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Summers can be brutally hot
Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are stable, gas is improving.
Socially, the quality of life is solid. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Used to live on the Eastside side, now on the Downtown side. Completely different vibe. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.

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