Job market in Oroville for tech?

Just moved here 11 months ago and Average temperature is around 63--F, so the weather is moderate. Crime rate is something to consider -Oroville sits at 633.2 per 100K. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Worth the trade-offs? Looking forward to hearing from you all.

The food scene here is tough. Tons of great Asian places. it's exactly what I was looking for.

Public transit is improving here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

I've lived in Springfield for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Dallas, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Good schools in most areas
- The public transit scene is hit or miss

The downsides:
- Not a lot of cultural diversity
- Bugs and humidity in summer

Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for remote workers. Good luck with whatever you decide..
