Considering North Decatur vs Pittsburgh -help me decide

Hey folks, My partner and I are The median home value here is around $459,000, which is pretty steep. Average temperature is around 62--F, so the weather is moderate. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Thoughts?

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 11 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Sunset. It's excellent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in hospitality. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.

People: Generally average. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Indian.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
