I moved here from Vegas a few years ago. Too many pros to list. I love it here. But there are cons. Yes the wind blew down my wooden fence one year. I feel its based on location too. Friends in Washoe valley get hammered while I sit comfy in Spanish Springs on the same day. Friends in the North Valleys get dumped with snow and can barely drive out of their neighborhood because the city doesnt snow plow their street but I get just a dusting of white powder in Sparks that is gone by lunch time. Reno has pockets of slums and homeless mostly downtown. But the burbs are nice. Sommerset, Damonte ranch, Wingfield Springs/Red Hawk, Galena Forrest Estates area remind me of the bay area. Supper clean, million-dollar homes and looks like a 200-acre master planned community. My biggest complaint is that the riverfront could have been a goldmine of tourism but its squandered by city planners. Yes you can walk or ride bikes on the trails but you better be prepared to see trash and homeless. Its not pretty when it could be. The riverfront trails here are sad. Absolute wasted opportunity for the city. Its slowly getting cleaned up but it wont be done in my lifetime. Ive been around the world and back and I know a sad riverfront when I see one. 1 mile of nice and 20 miles of crap is not good for business. The water literally comes from Lake Tahoe. Its such a waste of resources. Public elementary and middle schools seem good here. I have kids in all 3 levels. HS doesnt impress me. Hardly any programs that live up to my oldest sons expectations being a former GATE student in Vegas. Private school is a must if you have the money. Traffic at 5pm is horrible at the bowl. learn the side streets or take the McCarran beltway or Veterans hwy if you can. And if there is a crash on hwy 80 going to or from Tesla.....enjoy your 2 hours of meditation in your car. There are no side streets. We like sushi and Asian food. Yes they have it here but its not up to our standards. If you get a fork with your meal....its not a real Japanese restaurant. Also if they give you a Chinese spring roll along with your Japanese food....again....they are hoping you dont know anything about real Japanese food. I get it...its Reno....its not a coastal city....but I have to point out bad food when I see it. I still love it here though because there is a long list of good things that outweigh the bad lol.

Agreed, I think for me personally being from the California coast, the biggest con is the weather. I think there is something to be said for the seasonal depression I've experienced here. I will say the snowboarding is awesome however.

[@micktheman6]

I’ve lived almost everywhere in the USA Reno is still one of the nicest places to live in the country

[@s1gmap175]

Man i love Reno, When i was a kid in the early 2000s i went to movie theater, Toys RUs, Barnes and Nobles, and Circus Curcus definitely one of the best times in my life. Traveling from Fallon Nv btw at the time

[@buztes]

The problem with Reno and surrounding area is all the Californians that wanted to get away from calfornia and yet brought it with them

[@ImaDoGToo]

It’s a highland with wetlands. Plenty of green and water in spring/summer. I’ve been here just over one year (NOT from Cali). I’m not in love with Reno, but it’s got everything, including Tahoe being so close. The infrastructure is well maintained. But lacks a real identity of its own, and there is NO big indoor mall with good stores, if that matters to you.

[@kalidilerious]

moved out of Reno years ago which was a great decision. Moved to a nice town in norcal (Chico) which is known to be a liberal area but now is a red county. Meanwhile Reno has strangely gotten very democratic since I left. My friends told me how strict it was there during covid which I'd never thought would happen in Reno.

[@jaykwonzzz]

@@kalidilerious It wasn't THAT strict during COVID. I never locked down. I'd just go walk around grocery stores.

[@kalidilerious]

@@jaykwonzzz LOL well if you considered it a privilege to walk around the grocery store that's really saying something. I remember in Nevada by law you needed to sign up and make a reservation to eat out. Coming from CA that seemed a little extreme.

[@jaykwonzzz]

@@kalidilerious Did you exist during Covid? Reno was on par with the rest of the nation in terms of lockdown policy and absolutely had less restrictions than California. I’ve lived here for my entire life and since I’ve been voting (18 years now) Washoe County has been blue. Obama won the state twice because of Washoe and Clark, Clinton won the state, and Biden won the state. Hillary Schieve, a progressive Democrat, has been mayor of Reno for a decade and Bob Cashell was as middle of the road as it gets. So, I’m not sure where you’ve been for the past two decades, but Reno has been firmly Dem-run for almost twenty years now.

[@rhill815]

You should spotlight the terrible property management companies that are here from California. There are so many bad companies running apartments and where not to live.

The park is right to the school for little kids. Kids loves to come and play. You mean to tell they have to step over their trash and needles. Unbelievable... I love taking the fresh air. Reno becoming unlivable. Makes it so sad The city does nothing about it. I go to Sparks NV to hang out for now on. Thinking about moving there one day. Reno is $$$ 🕳️ . Dont move here....

[@petericemanczyl2139]

I am contemplating moving my business to Reno. I would like to know where in the city are the startups and tech business are located. I have machine tools which like low $ / kW-Hr and minimum $ FT **2. Please advise.

[@jaykwonzzz]

Probably around Greg Street. Reno isn't massive, so the areas you're looking at are limited. That said, Greg Street seems to house mostly small to medium sized businesses, including machine shops.

[@lynnkay3455]

how many days you think you have 100's?

[@RenoLiving]

It depends, some years we only have around 5, some years we have close to 20. Usually not that many

[@heathrunyon4036]

A lot more now then when I moved here in 2006.

[@thomaswilliams2350]

I agree but for different reasons. I'm from here, 3rd generation and I hate how much the city has grown in such a short amount of time.

[@RenoLiving]

Yeah, unfortunately its proximity to California has made it fairly unaffordable.

[@FarBear-by6rw]

​@@RenoLiving babe that's everywhere and blaming California shows your lack of critical thinking skills

[@jaykwonzzz]

@@FarBear-by6rw Babe, gtfo. Do you live here? Rapid expansion of industry locally coupled with Californians moving to Reno to escape CA cost of living has absolutely contributed to a massive cost of living increase, with demand for housing rapidly outpacing supply. So, where in the fuck do you think these people come from, if not CA? Drive on any Reno/Sparks road and you'll see nearly as many CA license plates as NV plates. What's more, there was also a massive influx of people right after coov lockdowns that were selling homes in CA, then buying in NorNev with cash and they'd price out local home buyers because they didn't have to worry about LTV on a mortgage.

[@brendadesmond6573]

Don't blame the people, blame the CA government? Don't the people vote for the government? Nevadans don't mind Californians here as long as they don't bring their politics with them. Unfortunately, especially in Las Vegas, they have.

[@MrRoadcrankr]

I enjoy your content, but urge you to work on your voice inflection. You end sentences with the odd lilt that makes most of your sentences sound like questions. The David Tully dude does the same thing, making both of you extremely annoying to listen to.

[@happyhippie2853]

Reno is a dirty city... Nasty

[@TomSmith-ls5rn]

What the what? How long have you personally lived in Reno!?

[@RenoLiving]

Long enough to see the cons 🫠

[@jaykwonzzz]

Is he wrong?

[@volker4897]

"The Reno single mom trap" is a thing🫤
