The weather takes some getting used to. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem improving.

I've been here 1 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is weather. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.

That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into surfing, this place is solid.

Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The South side vs the Riverside side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.

No regrets on my end..
