Grass Valley/Nevada City Growth
-
6/25/2006
What happened to my home? The little town where I grew up in and raised my family has turned into an overcrowded, dysfunctional mess. Real estate prices are such that my kids can't even consider owning a home (median price $450K), the roads are overcrowded and deteriorating, you can't build a home without it costing tens of thousands just to begin, and the political climate is swinging to the left along with the influx of Bay Area retirees.
No hard feelings or regrets. To city dwellers, this place probably seems like heaven. But,in five more years, Grass Valley will no longer be a "small town" or have that same feeling. It's just time for us to go.
