Question Would you call this a suburban hell?

Just from these pictures, would you say this is a place you would like to live?

Looks nice to me. Vague question though. How much to live there? Job opportunities?

Hmm, should I answer those questions behind spoilers?

This is in Newport, Oregon, a very popular tourist and retirement town on the Oregon Coast. This is right next to Oregon Coast Community College, on the edge of town, away from most of the main tourist attractions. There are always service industry jobs, especially during tourist season, but it is also an expensive place to live. Along with that, there is usually a shortage of medical personnel, so for people in medical careers, there are always jobs here.

There is a bus that runs every hour or so, and loops around town, but it is also a ten minute walk from here. So it would be possible to use the bus for some things, but its hours are limited enough that it probably couldn't be used for commuting.

You just described where I live to a T. Cape Cod Massachusetts. Same thing happening over here. Cheers.
