HELLO EVERYONE. CHEYENNE IS NOT A BAD TOWN. SLOWER PACE OF LIFE, RELATIVELY LOWER TAXES,SOMEWHAT FRIENDLIER THAN MANY LARGE CITIES.. I LIVED IN CHEYENNE FOR MANY YEARS AND MOVED TO SHERIDAN 11 YEARS AGO. THE BIGGEST ISSUE FACING MANY PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY YOUNG FOLK, IS THE HIGH COST OF REALESTATE IN CHEYENNE. THE AVERAGE HOME THERE COSTS 176,000. I CANT SEE THE HOW THE LOCAL JOB MARKET CAN SUPPORT SUCH HIGH REALESTATE PRICES. YES. CHEYENNE HAS THE AIRFORCE BASE AND MANY OTHER GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS. BUT NOT EVERYONE HAS A HIGH PAYING FEDREAL JOB. HOUSING UNFORTUNATELY, HAS BECOME PRICEY THROUGHOUT MOST WESTERN STATES.THE SITUATION IN NORTHERN COLORADO IS FAR WORSE AND MORE EXPENSIVE.. MOST WESTERN TOWNS THAT ARE CLOSE TO MOUNTAIN VISTAS HAVE BECOME UNAFORDABLE TO LIVE.. TWENTY YEARS AGO A COMMON MAN COULD BUY A NICE MODEST 2 BEDROOM ONE BATH HOUSE FOR 50 TO 60 THOUSAND. NOT ANYMORE. THESE PRICES CONTINUE TO INCREASE DUE TO THE INFLUX OF OUT OF STATERS LOOKING TO RELOCATE AWAY FROM HIGH TAXES, BIG CITIES,BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR FAMILIES, CRIME ETC.. GREED NOW RULES WESTERN TOWNS.. BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO MAKE A MOVE WAY OUT WEST, MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO DISH OUT HIGH DOLLAR RENT AND REALESTATE COSTS. OTHER THAN THAT LIFE IS PRETTY GOOD!!!
