Insane cost of living.

6/16/2007
I have lived in Sheridan, Wyoming since 2003. It was expensive when we moved here. But it has really gotten bad since. Sheridan is a beautiful place, and if one was a millionaire one could enjoy it. But if you work for a living and your are not at or near the top of the work chain be prepared to be working far to much to enjoy the area. Since I bought my house, its value has gone up 75K. Nice but the taxes have followed almost doubling in the past 2 years. The city has doubled the cost of water/ sewer/ and garbage services. The word is that Sheridan is turning in to another Jackson Hole. If thats the case, like Jackson there will be no one here for the service of the rest. I would not take this with a grain of salt, I am a licensed Architect and make a fair wage, but not enough for this area. Even the fast food places are paying 9 dollars and hour and can not keep employees.
