Anyone else feel this way? I'm a 42-year-old data analyst and Rent is about $902/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 7.6%, which is pretty low. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Let me know your thoughts. TIA!

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from Salt Lake City 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 West. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in legal. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.
People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 4 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like sushi.
