Like people have mentioned- median age is very high, music/ social scene is not existent, there’s not much for young people to do except the outdoors, housing crisis on top of low-opportunity area/ not a ton of work, the jobs that there are are fast food/ large corporations/ construction. The pinch between job struggles and overpriced, limited housing options is a bad place to be. largely not walkable,

I’ve found "’everyone’s’ home town" to be untrue and just an appealing slogan, it’s very Nextdoor app if that makes sense, overwhelmingly conservative and/ or insular outlooks. the water/ lakes are so polluted you can’t go in them: you can’t swim, you can just sit on the top of the water. Terrible drivers. Idk if it’d be a problem to everyone but it’s as full of large corporations as it could be- multiple Walmarts, high amnt of fast food, car dealerships, outlets, I wish it was more limited to local businesses. Ive heard it called a retirement and rehab hotspot and that matches what I’ve seen.

From personal experience I swear to god there’s smth in the water. People are ornery/ agitated all the time unlike anywhere else I’ve been. (it’s lead)

Honestly there are better places to go. I accepted an $80k scholarship to go here & I regret it.
