Been meaning to ask this. I work in healthcare and Median household income is $54,210, which feels on the lower side for the area. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Thoughts? Looking forward to hearing from you all. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a lawyer who relocated here from Raleigh about 4 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and school.
Pros I've experienced:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Good airport with direct flights
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Property taxes are high
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it excellent compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are established, gas is solid.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
