small town, needs a little growth, but OK.

I've lived here for just over a year. Had I known then what I know now, I probably would not have moved here.
Here are my observations:
1. Cost of living here is crazy high! (unless you are comparing to California, or the NW)
2. I'm conservative. This is a great place for that! so anyone who comes here from "progressive" states thinking they will change this place and turn it into the mess they left, will not be welcome here.
3. The climate here is not all that great. But it is better than phoenix! the wind blows ALL the time! and winter time it is freezing cold!
4. Not much in the way of shopping. We go once a month into Vegas to do our major shopping.
5. Not much to do for entertainment. There is the lakes, and if you 4x4 then there is that, and certain times of the year you can hike before it gets too hot. Winter so far has been crazy! There is Laughlin about a 1 hour away.
6. Very little in the way of any good employment!
7. LOTs of retired people and snow birders. Old folks doddling around, so have your patience on.
8. the roads in and out of town are terrible! and the ADOT claim they do not have the funds to fix them, even tho they keep saying there is going to be a interstate 11 put in... been saying that for 10 years.
9. Lastly, the one good thing I have to say is most of the local people are nice and friendly. I find that most of the long time "local" I have met are cowboy red neck types.
Hey and its desert! lots of brown, cactus, and sun, and everything wants to poke or bite you here!
