Unpopular opinion about Salina

Longtime lurker here, I work in engineering and You can expect to pay around $911 for rent here. Median household income is $60,624, which feels about average for the area. Household incomes average around $60,624 in Salina. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Cheers. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is traffic. it was the best decision I ever made. Worth doing your research before committing.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 12 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in West. It's challenging for what you get.

Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in consulting. If you're in legal you might struggle.

People: Generally excellent. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like farm-to-table.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..
