Not sure if this has been asked before, but Crime rate is something to consider -Ramsey sits at 87.7 per 100K. Rent is about $1,780/month for a decent place. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Has anyone dealt with this?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a physical therapist who relocated here from Denver about 9 years ago. The main reasons were quality of life and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Active local events and festivals
- Diverse dining options
Cons that are real:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Can feel isolated
Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. Groceries are reasonable, gas is excellent.
Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Definitely worth checking out..

As someone who grew up here, I'm still on the fence after all this time. A lot has changed in the past few years though. nightlife used to be much developing but now it's improving.
