Pros and cons of Lubbock after 5 years

Alright, The median home value here is around $197,900, which is actually reasonable. Crime rate is something to consider — Lubbock sits at 1,008.1 per 100K. Household incomes average around $60,487 in Lubbock. Poverty rate is 13.0%, which is around average. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. What do you all think? Any help is appreciated. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level.

Hot take but it's been a really good experience overall. I know a lot of people disagree but after 5 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Came here for retirement and stayed because I genuinely enjoy living here. The weather is honestly pretty good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
