Is Tuscaloosa good for remote workers?

First post here. Anyone in a similar situation? Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoati

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 9 years ago from San Diego and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Cedar Grove. It's excellent for what you get.

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

People: Generally improving. It took about 7 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Italian.

No regrets on my end..

My experience has been mostly positive. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. The only thing I'd watch out for is traffic. Other than that, It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want job market, then yeah this place is great. But if walkability matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

I work in government here and I'm still on the fence after all this time. The job market for my field is underrated. Happy to answer more specific questions..
