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

I'm a electrician who relocated here from LA about 2 years ago. The main reasons were cost of living and a job opportunity.

Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Affordable housing options
- Strong sense of community

Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Not very walkable outside downtown

Financially, we've found it surprisingly good compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are pricey, gas is improving.

Socially, I'm still on the fence after all this time. Definitely worth checking out..

I've been living here for 14 years and I'd say it's not perfect but it works for me. The outdoor recreation is average compared to other places I've lived. Overall No regrets on my end..
