Is Mount Sinai worth it salary-wise?
Random thought, Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Thoughts? Property taxes are high but you get good services.

I've lived in Lakewood for about 11 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Atlanta, I was surprised by cost of living. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Four distinct seasons
- Strong sense of community
- The traffic scene is pretty good
The downsides:
- Limited shopping options
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for singles. Happy to answer more specific questions..

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value outdoor recreation, you'll love it. The community vibe is genuinely underrated and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. My neighborhood (Riverside) is developing and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Houston, be prepared for the culture shock. public transit is completely different here. And Limited public transit options.
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.
