Anyone else feel this way? Poverty rate is 12.6%, which is around average. Let me know your thoughts.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value healthcare, you'll love it. The traffic is genuinely challenging and I've found it's been a really good experience overall. My neighborhood (West) is reasonable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Houston, be prepared for the culture shock. pet-friendliness is completely different here. And Limited high-paying job options.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Used to live on the Midtown side, now on the Pine Hills side. Completely different vibe. it's not perfect but it works for me.
