Star Rating - 1/8/2019
Another review for more living details

Dining - there are a few good restaurants like everywhere else and there are many good Italian places. Other than that the quality of dining is below average especially Japanese restaurants way below average - 3 star
Housing - Buying or renting is cheap but taxes are very high. It's hard to find new houses/apartments - 4 star
Shopping - Destiny USA is the only places you can get what you want but no luxurious brands; Grocery shopping is good with big chains and local markets - 4 star
Transportation - Assuming you have a car it's convenient to live here. For public systems, there is airport close to city and long existed trains/shuttles. Taxi is expensive - 3 star
Entertainment - for me there are enough things to do (zoo, museums, shows, casinos, college sports, outdoor places, summer events) I don't get bored - 4 star
Health Care - Hospitals are the major employers here and never complain about finding doctors - 4 star
Education - as stated before education system is strong - 4 star
Job Market - You're supposed to lower your expectation to get a job with low pay and limited function. If you have an advanced degree in technology or finance etc might feel disappointed - 2 star
Weather - everybody has talked about this... - 1 star

Based on weighted average the start would be 3, you can adjust the weights to get your score..
