OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 6 years ago from Chicago and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Westside. It's surprisingly good for what you get.

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

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 13 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: average. Tons of options if you like Italian.

Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
