Working in Whittier -salaries realistic?

Anyone else feel this way? We have two kids and Household incomes average around $92,374 in Whittier. Crime rate is something to consider -Whittier sits at 247.2 per 100K. The city has invested a lot in new development. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Am I overthinking this? It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The suburbs are where most families end up. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are pretty good, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.
