Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a pharmacist who relocated here from Pittsburgh about 2 years ago. The main reasons were weather and work.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Homeless population growing downtown
Financially, we've found it average compared to where we came from. Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. Groceries are competitive, gas is excellent.
Socially, I love the pace of life here. Happy to answer more specific questions..
