Average temperature is around 44--F, so bundle up in winter. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. What do you all think? Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The suburbs are where most families end up. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood.

Came here for quality of life and stayed because there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. The public transit is honestly improving and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want dating scene, then yeah this place is great. But if community vibe matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.
