I'm a writer and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. The community is challenging and there's always something going on.

Public transit is solid here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's not perfect but it works for me.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Oak Park. It's decent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in education. If you're in legal you might struggle.
People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Korean.
