Considering Stanford vs Tampa -help me decide

With a population of 17,958, Stanford is a small town. The food scene here is surprisingly good.

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

I've been living here for 4 years and I'd say it's not perfect but it works for me. The outdoor recreation is tough compared to other places I've lived. Overall Happy to answer more specific questions..

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

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in North. It's pretty good for what you get.

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

People: Generally solid. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like BBQ.

Feel free to reach out with questions..
