I've lived here all my life, turning 30 this year and in the past 3 years the cost of living has skyrocketed since the forest fires have been pushing California's residents to move here buying up all of the land, the houses up and near Gore Hill and surrounding the outskirts of Great Falls have increased in numbers from 10 houses to 100's in the past year. It's becoming crowded, alot of our good entertainment such as the mall have become pretty much vacant with nothing really to do here. Crime has definitely increased as well and it breaks my heart, but I no longer feel safe for my family or myself to continue living here, a decent 3 bedroom used to range from 500-650 and now it's ranging from 725 - 1,000 with cost of living still going up and minimum wage is still under $10. Find a home outside the city limits to rent or buy because it'll be a lot cheaper than in the city limits. Good luck!

Hahahahah. Are you serious? Property crime is double the state average. Sex offenders per capita are 3x the national average. (Not that you would be concerned about that as a man). This place has been a cesspool for years. You’ve obviously been gone awhile. And suicide rates lead the nation. Because it’s such a great place? And comments like Mexifornia? Yeah you should fit right in. White supremacy and skinheads are something you regularly see. And your odds of being the victim of murder (per capita stats) are higher than Seattle. Look it up. Your delusional. Have fun swimming in the filth of your own kind.
