How do you know what the cost of living is like if you're only visiting for a few days. Seems like an odd thing to lead with.

I have only been here a few days, but I'm staying a couple of months.

Edit: I'm originally from Salt Lake City. I've been traveling around since November

In SLC, a bus ride costs $2.50. Here, it's $1.25. (add just 10 cents for a transfer) In SLC, a single room will cost you at least $1000 rent per month. The place I'm staying costs $750 and I have my own bathroom. Utilities, Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, and a housekeeper are included. It's also in a convenient location where I can walk almost everywhere. Groceries here are a lot cheaper than in SLC.

It's a great value :)

Do you think visitors can’t Google?

I think most people can't Google, honestly. It's just fucking weird to bring up in an intro and a visitor wouldn't have the full perspective from being here a few days. But whatevs.
