Overall, the area is vibrant and growing. The city-level government is invested and good; the state-level government is less so.
The public transportation here is excellent and most places are walkable. There can be a lot of congestion, however.
The area is diverse, with many ethnic areas. However, it has been increasingly gentrifying over the past few years.
