Swarthmore quality of life -am I missing something?

OK so I've been here for 11 years and You can expect to pay around $1,493 for rent here. Homes are going for about $557,900 on average. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Am I overthinking this? It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The suburbs are where most families end up. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.

Came here for work and stayed because I love the pace of life here. The traffic is honestly surprisingly good and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
