Is Tichigan good for remote workers?

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a marketing manager who relocated here from Boston about 15 years ago. The main reasons were a job opportunity and cost of living.

Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Strong job market in several industries
- Lots of new development happening

Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Limited shopping options

Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are growing, gas is decent.

Socially, it's been a really good experience overall. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
