I've lived in West for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from San Diego, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Four distinct seasons
- The public transit scene is tough

The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Rising rent and home prices

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for remote workers. Feel free to reach out with questions..
