Worst things about Maili nobody talks about

So, I'm a remote worker and Crime rate is something to consider -Maili sits at 232.1 per 100K. You can expect to pay around $2,442 for rent here. The unemployment rate is 7.7%, which is concerning. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. What would you do? Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The weather takes some getting used to.

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

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Greenfield. It's hit or miss for what you get.

Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in education. If you're in real estate you might struggle.

People: Generally solid. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.

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

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
