Pros and cons of Kearney after 12 years

Curious what people think. I relocated for work and Median household income is $69,790, which feels about average for the area. Homes are going for about $235,800 on average. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The weather takes some getting used to. Am I overthinking this? Cheers. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value public transit, you'll love it. The healthcare is genuinely better than expected and I've found it's not perfect but it works for me. My neighborhood (Highland) is wild and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Houston, be prepared for the culture shock. traffic is completely different here. And Not very walkable outside downtown.

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.
