Biggest downsides of living in La Verne?

So, I'm a college student here and It's a a smaller city city with about 30,804 people. You can expect to pay around $2,204 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 4.1%, which is about average. The median home value here is around $793,900, which is pretty steep. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The city has invested a lot in new development.

We moved here with our family and it's exactly what I was looking for. Schools in Highland area are pretty good. Kids love it here.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from San Francisco and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Sunset. It's decent for what you get.

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

People: Generally tough. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: tough. Tons of options if you like Indian.

No regrets on my end..
