Considering Nampa vs Pittsburgh -help me decide
First post here. Is this normal for Nampa? Thanks! Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

Came here for retirement and stayed because there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The healthcare is honestly underrated and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I'm a sales manager and I've found it's exactly what I was looking for. The community is surprisingly good and there's always something going on.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Nashville and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in North. It's improving for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in marketing. If you're in consulting you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Korean.
No regrets on my end..

I've lived in West for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it was the best decision I ever made. When I first moved here from Phoenix, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Good airport with direct flights
- The safety scene is decent
The downsides:
- Homeless population growing downtown
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for remote workers. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
