Is St. Paul a good place to live?
Not sure if this has been asked before, but Average temperature is around 65--F, so the weather is moderate. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Close to nature
- Low taxes
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Limited nightlife
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Far from major airports
- Homelessness issues downtown
