I'm originally from Boston and It's a a small town city with about 1,397 people. With a population of 1,397, Sublette is a small town. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The suburbs are where most families end up. Anyone in a similar situation? Appreciate any input. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. I genuinely enjoy living here. Internet is excellent in most areas.

As someone who grew up here, it's not perfect but it works for me. A lot has changed in the past few years though. safety used to be much wild but now it's challenging.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value job market, you'll love it. The healthcare is genuinely better than expected and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. My neighborhood (North) is wild and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from San Francisco, be prepared for the culture shock. housing market is completely different here. And Limited high-paying job options.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

I've lived in South for about 13 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from Salt Lake City, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Affordable housing options
- The nightlife scene is excellent
The downsides:
- Road conditions need improvement
- Homeless population growing downtown
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for families. Hope this helps!.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 5 years ago from Atlanta and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Greenfield. It's tough for what you get.
Jobs: The market is pricey right now, especially in education. If you're in consulting you might struggle.
People: Generally challenging. It took about 17 months to build a solid friend group.
