What's it really like living in Salinas?

Anyone else feel this way? My partner and I are Rent is about $1,923/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $610,900, which is pretty steep. Homes are going for about $610,900 on average. The suburbs are where most families end up. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Worth the trade-offs? Looking forward to hearing from you all. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
