I work in retail here and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The job market for my field is tough. No regrets on my end..

Came here for a fresh start and stayed because I have mixed feelings honestly. The cultural scene is honestly better than expected and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
