Rent in Shirley getting crazy

Curious what people think. I'm a 29-year-old chef and Rent is about $2,110/month for a decent place. The unemployment rate is 4.4%, which is about average. It's a a smaller city city with about 27,807 people. Poverty rate is 5.5%, which is pretty low. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. What neighborhoods would you suggest? It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The city has invested a lot in new development. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.

Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.

Hot take but it's not perfect but it works for me. I know a lot of people disagree but after 1 years here, that's my honest assessment.
