Silver City is underrated, change my mind

Hey, I relocated for work and Median household income is $39,025, which feels on the lower side for the area. Rent is about $851/month for a decent place. Poverty rate is 14.9%, which is around average. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Pros:
- Good job market
- Friendly people
- Good schools
- Good healthcare facilities
- Plenty of shopping options

Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Limited nightlife
- Poor road conditions
- Far from major airports
- Homelessness issues downtown
Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
