Lived there from 2015-2017 and again from 2021-2022 for 9 months. It's just not a nice town to live in, any part of the year. Besides being pretty (and cool) it's always packed with traffic, it's poorly designed for the number of people that live there now, and the people are assholes. Not to mention that you have a massive commuter college campus right next to downtown, and college kids fucking shit up all over town all the time. It also has poor snow removal, and the local government is slow to respond to citizens.

It's just not a very nice place to live at all. A lot of the north shore isn't.
