I've been living here for 5 years and I'd say I have mixed feelings honestly. The cost of living is tough compared to other places I've lived. Overall Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..

Public transit is better than expected here. You'll probably need a car for most things. the quality of life is solid.
