Downtown is trashy and rundown. The riverfront has been redeveloped and they make an effort to hide the homeless but the actual problems here aren't being addressed at all. Midtown has as many businesses (especially bars and restaurants) closing as it does opening. Those great commercial real estate rates aren't going to last and some business that make mid town what it is are already moving around/out because of increasing rates. Wages here are depressed and the median family income is low when compared to the cost of housing, transportation and food. There are also not many job opportunities should you need to change jobs. The recent sale of IGT has started another exodus of tech workers which are already in high demand and low supply. You won't see local businesses raising wages to attract or retain these people though.
