Public transit is excellent here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's improved dramatically in recent years.

The food scene here is improving. Tons of great farm-to-table places. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want dating scene, then yeah this place is great. But if weather matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

Hot take but it's not perfect but it works for me. I know a lot of people disagree but after 14 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a electrician who relocated here from Salt Lake City about 4 years ago. The main reasons were family and family.
Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Four distinct seasons
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Urban sprawl is real
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are wild, gas is surprisingly good.
Socially, the quality of life is solid. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
