Healthy, outdoor-oriented family town
-
2/1/2014
Great place to raise a family. I moved here 38 years ago from Austin, TX. When I graduated I was offered jobs in two big cities in other states or this little town. I knew what I was getting into (low salary, high cost of living) and chose Durango, because I like the outdoors, the slow pace of life (relative to a city), the lack of materialism (re' someone's comment, "no good shopping"), the total disregard for conspicuous consumption and fleeting fashion (although there is an excellent retail store on Main Street that I shopped once the first year I arrived.) As for crime--our newspaper has a "Blotter" column and I walk home from town after dark when I see a movie column--I'd sure like to know the research-based source for Clint's opinion that there's a high crime rate here. Seriously?
