if youre single and in your 20's-30's GUM would be an amazing experience. if my company had a hub there id bid it in a heartbeat. great food, friendly people, little to nonexistent crime, and easy to find tight knit community among many other reasons. dont regret choosing the path I did but GUM base does sometimes make me think of the what if. As others have mentioned, would not recommend staying there past the family starting stage of life
