OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from Chicago and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Sunset. It's solid for what you get.

Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in healthcare. If you're in tech you might struggle.

People: Generally underrated. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: tough. Tons of options if you like Asian.

Hope this helps!.

I work in healthcare here and I genuinely enjoy living here. The job market for my field is underrated. Would recommend to anyone considering it..
