Freelancing from Wade -experience?

Hi all, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and The unemployment rate is 22.0%, which is concerning. Average temperature is around 68--F, so the weather is moderate. Poverty rate is 50.7%, which is higher than I expected. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The weather takes some getting used to. Worth the trade-offs? Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

I've lived in Riverside for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's improved dramatically in recent years. When I first moved here from Boston, I was surprised by dating scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Great outdoor activities nearby
- The traffic scene is pretty good

The downsides:
- Winters are long and cold
- Rising rent and home prices

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for remote workers. Feel free to reach out with questions..

We moved here with our family and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else right now. Schools in Old Town area are solid. Kids love it here.
