The verdict
Mixed · 45Little here on everyday life; most content is war coverage of strikes, fires and unrest, with a few visitors calling the city clean, green and pleasant.
- cleanliness
- greenery and well-kept public spaces
- cultural mix
- small-city feel despite size
- drone strikes and military attacks
- fires and industrial blasts
- armed unrest and political tension
- sparse first-hand accounts of living there
- Visitors find it clean, green and easygoing for a city of over a million.
- Recent coverage is dominated by strikes and attacks, which weighs heavily on safety.
- Comments celebrating attacks suggest a polarized and tense local context.
- Almost nothing addresses cost, internet, or remote-work life, so evidence is thin.
