Poverty rate is 1.3%, which is pretty low. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Am I wrong here?

I've been living here for 14 years and I'd say there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The housing market is excellent compared to other places I've lived. Overall It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a software engineer who relocated here from Seattle about 2 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and retirement.
Pros I've experienced:
- Four distinct seasons
- Strong sense of community
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Limited entertainment options
Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are manageable, gas is decent.
Socially, it exceeded my expectations. No regrets on my end..
