Pros:
-pretty safe, depending on part of town. little violent crime. lots of drugs and drunk driving.
-the Black Hills are beautiful
-excellent air quality
-friendly people
-somewhat decent variety of activities during warm months
-short commutes

Cons:
-incredibly over-priced for what it is
-very low income compared to cost of living
-fairly poor medical care and very high prices
-very high food prices
-very high rent for what you get
-very miserable winters
-lack of economic opportunity
-lack of diversity
-people seem depressed and distant here, hard to get people to be social
-talented young folk leave as soon as they get the chance
-very boring during the winter
