Should I move to Portage or stay in Chicago?

Hi all, It's a a smaller city city with about 49,015 people. The unemployment rate is 3.5%, which is pretty low. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Should I be concerned? People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

Not gonna lie, the first year was rough. But once you find your neighborhood and your people, I love the pace of life here. No regrets on my end..
