Hi, there. The husband and I are considering moving there (taking a vacation to see it in a few days). Did online research & checked census stats, but want the insiders' view. Currently we live in Florida ("Like hell, only hotter"). Please advise re:
1. Cost of living/housing (i.e. can you afford a house in non-cracktown, on an average salary?)
2. Traffic/avg commutes
3. Weather (do you like it?)
4. Is it pretentious, or are the people laid back?
5. Raising families- best places?
6. To-Do: Museums, music (yeah, it's the indy capital, but what about the symphony?), what do you do every weekend?
7. Is it already totally unaffordable b/c of influx of people from Seattle & CA?
8. Pros.
9. Cons.
10. Anything else you have to say about it (I'm very interested in the bad points, though - good things aren't usually something to worry about).
Thanks!!!!!
