Crime rate is something to consider -Sebastian sits at 72.4 per 100K. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Anyone in a similar situation? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

I'd say the biggest thing people don't talk about is weather. there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Worth doing your research before committing.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from San Francisco and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Old Town. It's excellent for what you get.
Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in government. If you're in real estate you might struggle.
People: Generally improving. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: solid. Tons of options if you like craft beer.
