Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a lawyer who relocated here from Chicago about 11 years ago. The main reasons were school and weather.

Pros I've experienced:
- Lots of new development happening
- Good airport with direct flights
- Diverse dining options

Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Limited entertainment options

Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are pricey, gas is better than expected.

Socially, it exceeded my expectations. Definitely worth checking out..

Used to live on the South side, now on the Midtown side. Completely different vibe. it's improved dramatically in recent years.
