Not the best place, not the worst. - 9/15/2020
I’ve lived here for six years, and it’s been an interesting experience to say the least. If you’re liberal, don’t expect many people to outwardly share the same political views as you. It’s pretty solid Trump country. Not to say liberal views don’t exist, but the amount of Trump signs are quite shocking especially if you’re coming from the bay area. Summers are extremely hot and dry, then fire season comes around September through October, which means pretty constant smoke. When it rains in the winters, it pours.

There are sunny days in the winter though that everyone runs outside to enjoy! Spring and fall are really lovely with cool breezes and sunny days. The town is small and quaint, the area is generally safe and friendly, and the overall climate is much nicer than most places I've lived. By the way, we've had a light dusting of snow one time in 16 years, and it was gone in a couple hours! We've never had the 3 inches per year

I moved here on August 22, 2012 and I have to say it is one of the most magnificent ecosystems I have ever seen. While the cost of living here is higher than the national average, the qualify of life makes it worth it. The residents of the area are very kind and welcoming as
