Reno, NV
Move here! -
11/10/2007Reno/Sparks is an awesome area filled with highly intelligent people! Please, please, move here and buy my house so I can move out of this "eutopia"!
Reno, NV
Also move here if: -
11/10/20071) You enjoy chain smoking and toting your oxygen tank around while wasting away in front of the slot machines. 2) You enjoy monster trucks and all things redneck. 3) You don't mind your auto insurance being raised due to living in a "high-risk claims area". 4) You want to overpay for a cookie cutter home developed by a Californian mass-developement co., then never be able to sell it due to gross over-building. 5) You like meth addicts. 6) You want to live in a largely undereducated populus.
I guess compared to Oakland, CA (or Mississippi), Reno's not so bad! You can come hang out in Montreaux (which I hear is the hip place to be and where the money's at).
Sparks, NV
Definitely not worth the cost of living. -
5/13/2007Sparks is one big, drab, sprawling suburb filled with mediocre, overpriced cookie cutter neighborhoods totally devoid of any personality.

Ready to move elsewhere -
4/22/2007I moved to Reno a year ago with my job. The proximity to Tahoe is the only thing I've found to be positive about this city. It seems that the city's street system hasn't been able to keep up with the population boom over the last few years. I-80 has been under construction in Sparks for god knows how long, and seems like it will never be completed. Traffic can be terrible at times for a small city. Reno has the most inconsiderate and rude drivers I've ever seen in the 7 states I've lived in over the past 12 years. Once out of the car, the people here are actually fairly nice. Downtown Reno is full of rundown motels, casinos, and trashy people contributing to Nevada's roaring crystal meth problem. Overall, the locals seem uneducated and crude, but friendly. Reno hasn't been the worst place I've ever lived, but I'll be happy to see it in the rear view mirror.
