Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm a 54-year-old social worker and Poverty rate is 18.7%, which is higher than I expected. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Am I overthinking this? Appreciate any input. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 15 years ago from Atlanta and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Uptown. It's underrated for what you get.
Jobs: The market is developing right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in manufacturing you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: underrated. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.
Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

The food scene here is hit or miss. Tons of great Asian places. I'm still on the fence after all this time.
