Anyone work in healthcare in Morgan City?

Longtime lurker here, I'm a 25-year-old restaurant manager and The unemployment rate is 4.7%, which is about average. It's a a small town city with about 11,208 people. Average temperature is around 70--F, so it's warm year-round. You can expect to pay around $861 for rent here. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The weather takes some getting used to. What neighborhoods would you suggest? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. The food scene here is surprisingly good. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value weather, you'll love it. The healthcare is genuinely solid and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. My neighborhood (Eastside) is competitive and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Pittsburgh, be prepared for the culture shock. cultural scene is completely different here. And Traffic during rush hour is rough.

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.
