Hey, The unemployment rate is 1.6%, which is pretty low. You can expect to pay around $1,526 for rent here. Rent is about $1,526/month for a decent place. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The city has invested a lot in new development.

Pros:
- Affordable cost of living

- Strong sense of community
- Plenty of shopping options

Cons:
- Hot summers
- Limited dining options
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Boring for young people
