Longtime lurker here, Should I be concerned? There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

I've lived in South for about 12 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by nightlife. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Good schools in most areas
- Decent public transit for the size
- The cost of living scene is hit or miss
The downsides:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Chain restaurants dominate
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for singles. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Weather-wise, the summers are better than expected and winters are affordable. You get used to it after the first year.
