The good and bad of living in Leland

Hey everyone, I work in engineering and With a population of 26,307, Leland is a smaller city. Average temperature is around 63--F, so the weather is moderate. Rent is about $1,603/month for a decent place. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Pros:
- Friendly people
- Nice parks and trails
- Close to nature
- Good internet infrastructure

Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Lack of diversity
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homelessness issues downtown

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

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Uptown. It's decent for what you get.

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

People: Generally average. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: decent. Tons of options if you like craft beer.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
