SperlingViews - Cody, Wyoming

Cody is NOT a good place to live,regardless what others say.They have jumped on the tax & spend bandwagon lately wanting more and more expensive pork barrel projects for a few select people.These RINO's complain daily about Liberals and their tax & spend ways,yet turn right around and do that very thing.There is no fair & balanced news or politics in Cody,or the rest of Park County.It's either my way or the highway.Too many rich transplants have infested Cody,and other towns in the area,thereby driving up housing prices and rents to ridiculous levels.There are very few good paying jobs anymore as most business's cater to these rich bigots who have taken over.Do yourself a favor and avoid this town,and others in the area,like the plague.

Cody is a wonderful place to live, especially if you enjoy outdoor activities. The cost of living is lower than many places with similar offerings--just check Sperling's information. The weather is great year-round, but it gets windy which is something to deal with, especially in the middle of winter when it's already cold. The shopping is adequate for a town of this size and the medical community is awesome, especially our regional hospital. If you can't find what you need here, the drive to Billings is not bad. The only negative can be some of the 'old-timers' attitudes about the changes they see and they tend to blame newcomers for just about all their problems. To be fair, these types are only a small number and most Codyites are really nice and welcoming. It's a great place to raise kids and the schools are good. Cody always has something going on so your level of involvement in the community is up to you---you won't be bored unless you choose to be! The suggestion to check job availability in the region is a good one, but that would be wise for any place you'd move to in this time of difficult economics. If Cody has captivated you, then don't be afraid to go for it! [read more...]

Cody has amazing weather in summer-- warm days, quick rainstorms, breezes. The sunsets here are the stuff movies are made of. The silhouettes of the mountains are magical, the cloud-puffed skies are like a perfect picture postcard.[read more...]

Cody is a beautiful little city near the East Gate of Yellowstone National Park. There are lots of outdoor activities like rafting, hiking, skiing and snowmobiling. Be careful if your visiting, the air is pretty thin here. We get lots of tourists in the hospital. If you visit and you want to move here, you might find a good job first. I know lots of people who have moved here because of the scenery, but not been able to find a job. If you are willing to do housekeeping or work in a restaurant there's probably work for you. Our downtown is quickly filling with art galleries, and some say Cody is the new Jackson Hole. I sure hope not! It's way too expensive there![read more...]

Cody,s economy is tourist oriented. There are very few good paying jobs here anymore since the oil companies have downsized. A lot of rich transplants have moved in to Cody and the surrounding area driving up housing prices. It is getting harder and harder to live in Cody on the $8.00 an hour jobs that are prevailent.The whole of Park County is being over run with rich people and subdivisions.[read more...]
