Alright, I grew up here but left for a while. Poverty rate is 11.0%, which is around average. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Am I wrong here? Thanks for reading.

I've lived in Westside for about 15 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Strong job market in several industries
- The public transit scene is surprisingly good
The downsides:
- Summers can be brutally hot
- Winters are long and cold
Overall I'd rate it 6/10 for remote workers. Definitely worth checking out..
