Hey everyone, I've been here for 16 years and Poverty rate is 4.5%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $485,000 on average. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

My experience has been mostly positive. the quality of life is solid. The only thing I'd watch out for is public transit. Other than that, No regrets on my end..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value weather, you'll love it. The weather is genuinely underrated and I've found the quality of life is solid. My neighborhood (South) is stable and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from San Diego, be prepared for the culture shock. cultural scene is completely different here. And Can feel isolated.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.
