OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Nashville and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Oak Park. It's decent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in construction. If you're in legal you might struggle.

People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
