Is Williamsburg good for remote workers?

I've lived in Springfield for about 1 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. When I first moved here from San Diego, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Good internet infrastructure
- Active local events and festivals
- The outdoor recreation scene is better than expected

The downsides:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Far from beaches/mountains

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for young professionals. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
