From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are surprisingly good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Portland 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 Greenfield. It's underrated for what you get.

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

People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: surprisingly good. Tons of options if you like Asian.

Definitely worth checking out..
