Many Pros, but also Many Cons

I've lived here 23 years. I recently retired and am thinking of moving. The good things are outdoor recreation, sunny dry climate, great location close to a lot of variety. I own my home so housing prices are not an issue for me but it is very expensive if you are looking to buy or rent in today's market. What is lacking for me is arts and culture and more community. Everything seems geared toward tourism. The main drag through town is crushed with tourists all summer and on holiday weekends year round. We don't have Trader Joes or Costco. You have to drive to Carson City, NV for those. In recent years, our air quality in August and September has been bad due to wildfire smoke blowing in.
