There are different perspectives. One broad class of perspectives comes from those who've already settled, and another comes from those who are looking for new places to live and opportunity.
Halifax stands out nationally as an affordable yet urban relocation option. It's one of a small number of places in Canada where a new major metro could develop, and it is by far the closest thing to a major city in the region. It makes sense to lean into this role a bit and be ambitious.
If you yearn for the smaller cities and towns or remote wilderness there's plenty of that to be found in NS or around Atlantic Canada. Or even just the parts of metro Halifax that are not likely to grow as much.
