OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 13 years ago from Seattle and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Fairview. It's surprisingly good for what you get.
Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in retail. If you're in tech you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: improving. Tons of options if you like Southern.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..
