re: Housing sucks and so do the drivers

I think this review is totally off base. Laramie is an excellent town. Traffic is no problem here and I find the drivers are far more conservative than other places I've lived both large and small. I grew up in San Francisco and the bay area and Laramie is so calm compared to there? Yep jobs are tight. If you're coming here to work, well you didn't do your homework. As a college town of 32K people and 12K of that college students that high paying job is scarce. The job situation has always been the same and will likely not improve. The county (Albany) has few income sources as there is no mining/gas/oil here and Laramie relies on income generated from the university/students and tourism. I looked for work in Laramie 10 years ago when I lived an hour away in Colorado and found nothing. Unemployment is only 3.8%, very low. You come here with a job or retire here as I did. As for rentals, it's cheap here. I've rented 2 places since moving here 2 years ago, both allowed pets and I got ALL deposits back quickly. One of the friendliest cities I've lived in and am more than happy here :-)
