What to expect moving to Philadelphia?

My partner and I are The food scene here is surprisingly good. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 3 years ago from San Francisco and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Old Town. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in tech. If you're in real estate you might struggle.

People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Korean.

Happy to answer more specific questions..
