Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a teacher who relocated here from San Francisco about 7 years ago. The main reasons were school and weather.

Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Four distinct seasons
- Affordable housing options

Cons that are real:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Far from beaches/mountains

Financially, we've found it solid compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are established, gas is decent.

Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. No regrets on my end..

We moved here with our family and it's been a really good experience overall. Schools in Midtown area are underrated. Kids love it here.

I work in marketing here and it's not perfect but it works for me. The job market for my field is average. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
