Paradise is underrated, change my mind

Random thought, We're a young couple and Homes are going for about $358,400 on average. Poverty rate is 12.9%, which is around average. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. What do you all think? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much.

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

If you value safety, you'll love it. The weather is genuinely better than expected and I've found I'm still on the fence after all this time. My neighborhood (Westside) is growing and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Portland, be prepared for the culture shock. nightlife is completely different here. And Winters are long and cold.

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.
