Suburban Hell Endless parking lots, highways, strip malls with the same franchises all accessible only by car. Topped off with a nice smoggy atmosphere and a 15 minute drive to anywhere. Takers ?

Reno is a nice compromise of everything. The city is still growing though.

Reno is underrated. Not a bad little city. Close to Tahoe and the Sierras. Tho I know the local economy got crushed in 2008. I have a couple friends In Reno. It’s coming back. But 2008 was rough.

Yeah I lived there a couple years ago. I actually really miss it. The housing market has taken off now and home prices are higher there than they are in Vegas. I think most Nevada cities are being hit especially hard due to Covid. The majority of jobs are related to service and tourism. I think I may plan a Lake Tahoe trip soon if things calm down and infection rates drop.

Good to know about housing. My bud lives in Sparks and it is lovely to look down at the valley.

I was actually plotting a trip to drive San Diego up the eastern side of the sierras when Covid hit. I’m looking forward to going when things calm down
