Why I chose Welcome over bigger cities
Random thought, We're a young couple and Homes are going for about $164,100 on average. The unemployment rate is 3.5%, which is pretty low. Average temperature is around 60--F, so the weather is moderate. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good job market
- Nice parks and trails
- Easy commute
Cons:
- Sprawl everywhere
- Boring for young people
- Poor road conditions
- Far from major airports

Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods.
