Born and raised in So Calif. Move to CC in 1976. Left CC twice, for various reasons; one stint in Tulsa OK and another in So. Indiana, but came back HOME to CC. I think this is THE BEST place to live. Regarding the wind, that was one thing that was the most dificult to get used to, but I barely notice it now, 47 years later LOL Winter 2022/2023 was harsh, but not normal. I love being near Lake Tahoe. I love the sunny blue skies and clean/dry air. (I HATE humidity) 😁 I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather live.

[@gwilsonroute66]

Yup , I love Carson ..😊

[@kthippie6004]

About how many days a year is there "smoke" from the wildfires? Thanks

[@vivianlawrence778]

@@kthippie6004 Hi, not sure if you meant to ask the content creator this question; I just watched their video and am by no means an expert on such matters, but I'll tell you what I know about the smoke from wildfires in CC. It all depends on the size of the fires and where they're located, but for example, the Rim Fire in Yosemite CA in 2013, which is a few hundred miles from CC, it was VERY smoky all summer. There have been several fires in Northern CA to our west in the past recent years that caused a great deal of smoky issues. You can probably do a web search for more in-depth info on No Calif fires. Hope this helps.

[@markshattis6957]

I've lived in Carson City for over 8 years now and I really like it here as far as the small town feel goes. The crime rate wasn't mentioned in this video and I don't know what it is but it seems relatively low overall. My neighbors can leave things such as bicycles out in the front yard overnight, sometimes several overnights and nobody steals them. Also, I see very little graffiti here which is really nice. Those things said, I personally feel the winters here are a bit harsher than was stated. Finally, if ONE thing were to get me to move away from here, it would definitely be the frequent high winds. They are very irritating and can be destructive.

This might be my sign. I'm also an introvert and looking to get away from nosy azz ppl and out of these horrible long depressing Wisconsin winters. How is the water supply? The internet ok? Nearest hospital?

[@DiscGolfMenace]

@@C.Masterson Nearest hospital to Lyon County is like 30 minutes away... The health care system is very much so lacking in the area. Notably, the state government announced that their employees health insurance will no longer provide in network coverage for the health system that serves Lyon and Douglas County in addition to CC. This means that coverage for people on the state health plan living in Lyon and Douglas County, will have to commute over an hour into reno to obtain affordable basic health care. Funny enough, I find myself prepping for my first Wisconsin winter... any tips? This context is also relevant because one of the primary employers in these counties and in Carson City is the State of Nevada, so you have a lot of state employees getting the raw end of the deal.

[@df6580]

You guys need to give more details like cost of housing, more on summers and winters. What are water rates, cost of utilities, low taxes?

Reno / Carson area were more affordable than CA a long time ago but not so much anymore. I was born in Reno. Family moved to CA Bay Area when I was young. Now I'm almost priced out of both. Rents are not lower in Reno / Carson, and most of the rentals there are really ugly.

[@eriks7405]

Where I live (Texas) just rooms go from 700$ to 900$ pay is from 11$ to 13$ per hour, basically it got too expensive to live anywhere. Seems Carson is way cheaper and higher job pay. Here in Texas we seen a mass exodus causing massive inflation in many things.

[@mousetreehouse6833]

Mabe show some houses for sale... what are your styles like? Are the homes all similar? Older homes? Newer tract housing? In-town? Suburbs? Also, does Carson City have local transportation, like city buses? Bus services to Reno - Tahoe? Any rail service (light-rail or standard)? Any swimming holes? City pools? Is C.C. a bike-friendly area? How about family friendy City activities (Haloween, Christmas)? These are some ideas for you future videos, things that might make things intriguing for home buyers... 😉

I guess it is all relative. The winds here in Colorado this season have been upwards of 100 mph and blowing over semi-trucks. It was -15 at one point and in some cases we get blizzards that make it impossible to travel. You literally can’t see the house across the street. But there is something to that small town vibe that nothing else can compare to, especially now days.

Thats for sure. We've also seen some crazier winds than what we're used to. Not 100mph, but 40-60.

[@DiscGolfMenace]

This video is missing a ton of important context... I grew up in Carson City and one thing that isn't discussed is the extremely high cost of living in Carson City. In addition to this, Carson City does not have many amenities. This video barely scratches the surface on how life in Carson City actually is. Rather than listening to people who don't really summarize the city very well, go stay for like a week and try to catch the vibe yourself. Saying that the city is reliant on the the hospital and gaming is very inaccurate... The main employer in the city is the State of Nevada, and they don't offer the most competitive of pay which is troubling considering the cost of living.

When I lived in Carson City it was like Mayberry. I was essentially the only black person in town and when I graduated high school the population was 26,094. I remember them saying at the time that it was the fastest-growing city in the United States. That stat didn't concern me at the time, but now with a population of well over double at 58,993, the city has lost much of its charm. I visited a couple of years back and it was sad. I wouldn't live there now. It is not small enough to be quaint anymore (a mass shooting a few years back), but not large enough to be cosmopolitan.
