Anyone else feel this way? Been living here since 2010. Homes are going for about $1,220,500 on average. Average temperature is around 63--F, so the weather is moderate. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Weather-wise, the summers are excellent and winters are manageable. You get used to it after the first year.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a contractor who relocated here from Charlotte about 10 years ago. The main reasons were school and my partner's job.
Pros I've experienced:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Diverse dining options
- Lots of family-friendly activities
Cons that are real:
- Winters are long and cold
- Property taxes are high
Financially, we've found it underrated compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are developing, gas is excellent.
Socially, I have mixed feelings honestly. Definitely worth checking out..
