OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Minneapolis and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Older homes are where the value is. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in Westside. It's better than expected for what you get.
Jobs: The market is manageable right now, especially in construction. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally average. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Italian.
No regrets on my end..

I've been living here for 5 years and I'd say it's improved dramatically in recent years. The nightlife is challenging compared to other places I've lived. Overall It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem excellent.
I've been here 1 years and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The thing nobody mentions is pet-friendliness. It's reasonable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the school system is legit. And if you're into hiking, this place is average.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Downtown side vs the Sunset side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
