Lake Elsinore job market vs Kansas City

Random thought, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Median household income is $96,527, which feels pretty solid for the area. It's a a smaller city city with about 71,516 people. Average temperature is around 66--F, so the weather is moderate. The median home value here is around $505,700, which is pretty steep. Poverty rate is 7.4%, which is pretty low. The food scene here is surprisingly good. 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. Anyone in a similar situation? Any help is appreciated. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The city has invested a lot in new development. The suburbs are where most families end up. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Public transit is underrated here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Charlotte and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Meadowbrook. It's improving for what you get.

Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in marketing. If you're in government you might struggle.

People: Generally improving. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Mexican.

Happy to answer more specific questions..
