Worst things about West Palm Beach nobody talks about

Longtime lurker here, I'm a nurse at the local hospital and It's a a mid-size city city with about 120K people. The median home value here is around $369,800, which seems about average. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.

I've lived in Westside for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I'm still on the fence after all this time. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by food scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Decent public transit for the size
- Good airport with direct flights
- The healthcare scene is solid

The downsides:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Summers can be brutally hot

Overall I'd rate it 8/10 for young professionals. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
