Should I move to Spring or stay in Minneapolis?

Longtime lurker here, Poverty rate is 6.5%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 70--F, so the weather is moderate. The unemployment rate is 3.9%, which is pretty low. Household incomes average around $86,888 in Spring. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Pine Hills. It's improving for what you get.

Jobs: The market is stable right now, especially in consulting. If you're in retail you might struggle.

People: Generally underrated. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: hit or miss. Tons of options if you like Mexican.

Happy to answer more specific questions..
