Not sure if this has been asked before, but We have two kids and Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Hot take but it's been a really good experience overall. I know a lot of people disagree but after 6 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value safety, you'll love it. The job market is genuinely better than expected and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. My neighborhood (Downtown) is pricey and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Portland, be prepared for the culture shock. housing market is completely different here. And Summers can be brutally hot.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a HR manager who relocated here from Chicago about 11 years ago. The main reasons were weather and weather.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Close to major attractions
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are developing, gas is tough.
Socially, I love the pace of life here. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
