OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Lots of new construction which should help. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Midtown. It's excellent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in government. If you're in education you might struggle.

People: Generally hit or miss. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: improving. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.

Hope this helps!.
