Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from New York and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in South. It's pretty good for what you get.

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

People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 5 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: average. Tons of options if you like seafood.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
