Just moved here 16 months ago and The unemployment rate is 2.8%, which is pretty low. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Would love some local perspective. Any help is appreciated. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want public transit, then yeah this place is great. But if housing market matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I'm a project manager and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. The community is tough and there's always something going on.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem surprisingly good.
I've been here 7 years and it was the best decision I ever made. The thing nobody mentions is public transit. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the outdoor recreation is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is decent.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The The Heights side vs the West side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
