I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is weather. I genuinely enjoy living here. Worth doing your research before committing.

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

I'm a chef who relocated here from Houston about 15 years ago. The main reasons were work and school.

Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Affordable housing options

Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Road conditions need improvement

Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are pricey, gas is improving.

Socially, I love the pace of life here. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I love the pace of life here. Internet is solid in most areas.

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 1 years here, that's my honest assessment.

Public transit is average here. You'll probably need a car for most things. it's been a really good experience overall.

Public transit is average here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now.
