OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 7 years ago from Nashville and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Lakewood. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in legal. If you're in retail you might struggle.
People: Generally decent. It took about 16 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: tough. Tons of options if you like Southern.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

My experience has been mostly positive. I love the pace of life here. The only thing I'd watch out for is cost of living. Other than that, Definitely worth checking out..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want healthcare, then yeah this place is great. But if healthcare matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
