Is it a shitty idea to move to Reno NV? Currently live in West Virginia.
Wanting something more out of life than just these hills. Reno seems like it might be a good place to live. Any thoughts? I enjoy mountain biking, trail running, hiking, backpacking, camping, and jobs that don't require a college education.
Alternatively, what about Salt Lake City?
Reno is pretty alright. It's like a discount Denver with casinos more than a second Vegas. The climate is more like Colorado front range than southern AZ. Vegas probably has 10 times as many casinos and every neighborhood is near at least one. Reno has idk, a couple downtown and like 3 random ones.
I can't vibe with mormons. They're nice people but Utah is bland in a lot of ways. Nevada is very "anything goes" especially outside Vegas. You drive out of town you pass brothels lol. I've never gone in.
It is very dry.
Even more than Arizona. I have to have a swamp cooler or humidifier especially in the summer. And the weather does change a lot. I actually like this. Its never miserable for long. If its really hot you can count on it cooling off. It gets WINDY also. Temps get above 100 but its uncommon and its so much better than the south where the heat lingers. Once the sun is down it'll get dramatically colder. Winter can suck. It will be 60F then randomly drop to single digits in March.
There are plenty of jobs but many are shitty, casinos, Amazon warehouse, Tesla. Cost of living is high too, not quite California level but getting there.
The mountains are right there, its California tho so you can't carry guns but there's enough places to go you won't get bored if you like SighSee. If you want city stuff bay area is a few hours drive.
If you're into cars its a great place with Hot August Nights and Summit being here also a ton of places to go offroading.
Btw, the weirdest thing about northern NV is how appalachian the people are. If you're from WV you'll know what I mean. Hillbillies, and I don't mean just white trash but WV hillbillies have a look and mannerisms. Here they're descendants of people that came to work in mines. This is especially true in small towns outside Reno and poorer parts of Reno. There's indians (feather) here too, never relax around them.
Check out around Carson City also if you want more rural.
(cont)
There's no income tax in Nevada which is dope and other taxes seem pretty low. But the tech bro people are ruining this area by throwing money around in a city where most locals have wagie jobs and can't afford higher prices. Not to mention the progressive politics being introduced to a very libertarian state. It greatly accelerated during covid when people moved here to work remotely. So now neighborhoods that were flophouses 10 years ago have bougie apartments, weed dispensaries and bars where someone who needs to cut his ugly ass beard serves you $20 craft coctails with flowers and stupid ingredients in them and people who have a remote job from google talk about their stupid Burning Man acid trips. There's ups and downs. South of downtown is worth going to now and the town is less sketchy and has more variety of things. Make sure you tell people you're from WV not California though, you'll get treated better.
Casinos do sometimes have secret locals discounts for restaurants and shit and will also mail you promotions to get you in the door. Make sure you sign up for all the casinos players club even if you don't gamble. Also don't play the slots at gas stations and stores, I hate that shit, attracts desperate people and payout is low. One nice thing about this town is stuff is always open and there's no alcohol laws. You can grocery shop and buy beer at midnight on sunday or go to a breakfast place at 7 am and order a long island with your waffle.
There's still relatively few minorities in Reno save for a few filipino and salvadorian hotel maids and the only blacks are those on a discount vacation from Oakland which is pretty nice. Biggest problem is there's junkies and meth heads especially downtown but that area is getting nicer. It definitely is the biggest little city, its really barely a city, you can drive across it in 15 minutes, but it still has a lot going on.
>So now neighborhoods that were flophouses 10 years ago have bougie apartments, weed dispensaries and bars where someone who needs to cut his ugly ass beard serves you $20 craft coctails with flowers and stupid ingredients in them and people who have a remote job from google talk about their stupid Burning Man acid trips
This is every major city west of Texas. If you want to avoid trendy bullshit, move to the Midwest
here
You're fricking out of your mind.
Denver area is ok but is a way bigger city with much more traffic, etc. (but better jobs). Colorado also has highish taxes. Albuquerque is a shithole. A straight up shithole. There's some ok areas west of the river but the rest is majority hispanic poors and native americans on welfare and they do not like whitey from Appalachia. Tucson is like a slightly cooler, smaller and more mexican Phoenix. It's like if south Phoenix was its own city. I wouldn't live there. SLC is expensive these days. Ogden is supposedly sketchy but I think its ok. Provo is way, way too mormon. Colorado Springs might be ok. Idaho and Montana are too isolated. Western CO is beautiful but far AF from anything. Spokane and Bend are in the wrong states, politically. Wyoming is a bunch of hicks. That pretty much covers the mountain west.
I've been all over the country for work I know what parts of the US are cool and which parts suck. Reno is like a 8/10.
Lmao are you fricking serious calling Bend in the wrong state politically
Yes, Oregon is a complete write off at this point. In 5 years I bet you will have mandatory reeducation about how correct use of transgender pronouns and land acknowledgement in order to get an Oregon DL. Thanks, Portland.
Bend is already a shemale convention at this point. Idk what you were getting at.
Bend is Bay Area liberal man. The conservatives live in Redmond.
Thanks for the info
Basically I have no aspirations and a personality unbecoming of any professional job so I do general labor and warehouse work.
My hobbies are exclusively outdoors. Primarily mountain biking, triathlons, backpacking. I'll take any climate so long as the average dew point in the area is sub-50. This is only possible out west.
Reno and Salt Lake City still seem generally like very good options. I can ride my bicycle from town into the wilderness and go for perhaps hundreds of miles on trails from both of these cities. Very desired. I believe I can probably rent a room for $600 a month in either of these cities. I think it will work.
What about Colorado Springs?
I would go for a place like Pocatello Idaho, but I can't imagine that it's nice for the silly semi-off-road cycling I do.
>Pocatello Idaho
Worked with a guy from there who hunted and rode dirt (moto, not pedal, but still) and iirc he was quite happy with the outdoor rec situation. I don't know how specific your cycling niche is, but it's pretty damn easy to find a dirt road ina lot of the mountain west.
Well ideally I am looking for an extensive trail system connected to a town from all directions. I can't fricking stand driving to a parking lot to ride my bike. I like to leave my house and go anywhere.
The dew point will get to like 15F if it doesn't rain for a while. I personally kinda hate it. The dust gets in your nose and eyes dries into what feels like concrete. But yes its dry while having enough rain to not be a total desert.
There's mtb trails in every direction. Most of Nevada is BLM land you can camp on it or do whatever. Most of the CA side is national forest. And the ski places (idk if you're into that but its what there is to do in the winter) do mtb stuff in the summer.
Warehouses are going up everywhere because Nevada doesn't have an inventory tax. You'll find a job.
That whole side of Idaho is very mormon (majority of people). Places like that are, "nice to raise a family" but otherwise boring as hell and the job market sucks if you're not mormon (they discriminate). SLC has just gotten big enough to where this isn't as bad. Winter is at least a month longer anywhere in Idaho compared to SLC or Reno and I don't think there's as many mountains.
Arkansas is extremely underrated imo. Especially that area. Huge trees and lakes and people are really nice. But its a lot like West Virginia if OP is tired of that.
Might want to look at Carson City. It's closer to mountains. I think there's trails you can get to from town. Also south Reno or West Reno but those are more expensive areas. To get to things around Tahoe or the CA sierra you will have to drive there. The scale of things in the west is bigger. You can see a mountain from your house but its an hour away, etc.
The mormon discrimination is that strong? Is SLC and the surrounding area really not worth it from that alone? I could be mistaken for a mormon by my appearance.
It's not strong but it's insidious. You won't get turned away or have someone treat you rudely but you'll get passed up in favor of another applicant that is mormon. Mormonism is a cult. It's not like other religions where it's just go to church sometimes and go home. They have rituals and practices that outsiders usually don't know about and easily spot those who aren't part of the gang. They look out for each other. They copied a lot of this from Freemasonry. And they all know each other. The big giveaway is you didn't do a mission and can't relate that to experience. Not completing your mission is heavily frowned upon in their society btw, even if you are mormon, especially if you are male, as is leaving the church.
Now, in SLC it's not as much of a problem especially if you work somewhere not Utah based. SLC is only like 50% mormon. The rest of Utah/Eastern Idaho is like 80-90% mormon though.
What is wrong with them? How did this happen to a state?
The state is literally where they went after getting kicked out of normal American society in the midwest lool.
SLC sucks, don't come here. Unless you like outdoor sports.
I don't vibe with the mormons either. All of my friends are ex or non-mormon. Everyone still does business and works with them, but that's where it ends. And that's how everyone likes it. They don't want anything to do with you outside of daily business either. It's two separate social scenes that never mix, and that's a good thing. Their shit is straight out weird and definitely culty. But to be fair, they created this state and run it like a tight ship, no matter what you think of the politics. There is a reason it's one of the fastest growing states in the country.
Point is that you can have a great life in SLC without being mormon.
If you are from WV, that's fine. It's the californians that need to stay there frick away.
I live for the outdoors
Then you are in the right place, bro. World class outdoor activities in Utah. The geography could not be more different than WV - assuming you are OP - it's a high desert. There are some forests at elevation but nothing like WV. I thought snowshoe was great but this is an entirely different level. The entire state is basically a national park.
Reno is honestly a real fun city if you want to be a massive degenerate, I've been a few timesz the casinos are fun, drugs are everywhere and there's stuff to do 24/7, it also has a collegetown kimd of area if you want more high quality restaurants and what not. Not a bad city, living there would get depressing quick though
SLC is the opposite of Reno, has to be one of the cleanest and least druggy cities in the US but it seems rather boring
Both cities also have beautiful mountains I gues
I really enjoy Reno but it's not for everyone. Everywhere in NV is at least a little shitty because of legal gambling. Reno has some gorgeous neighborhoods and is close to mountains and Tahoe. It probably costs 3x more than WV tho since Tesla moved to town about 10 years ago and drew a ton of educated high earning workers to Reno
I am willing to live in my car to be out there I will go insane in this humid abymssal shithole
above 100deg and living outdoors becomes terrible
above 105 and sun intesnsity becomes too strong to be outside
the desert provides little shade and inner city/suburb paved everything raises the ambient temp much higher
110 degrees in dry heat is easier than 90 in high humidity if you disagree you have never been in a humid place
False. You do not realize just how fricking hot 110 degrees is, especially if you do not have a source of cooled water on hand. It is always full sun when it is 110 degrees outside. Drinking 110 degree water to hydrate when it is 110 degrees outside and the breeze feels like a giant blow dryer, that is torture. Now imagine if your only water bottle sat in your hot car and is now 130 degrees, hot enough to brew tea, and you are suffering from severe dehydration and heat exhaustion from an ill-advised desert hike. And your A/C is broken. That was basically me in June 2017. It is not an experience I would like to repeat.
Even an 80 F dewpoint at 90 F gives a heat index of *only* 108 F, and 80 F is about as high of a dewpoint (measurement of absolute humidity) as is ever seen in the most humid regions of the United States. At high humidity, the air is hazy, so the sun's heat is less debilitating. Sure, sweating heavily is miserable, but because you are so miserable, you are more likely to take long rest breaks, fan yourself, etc. Your body is 98 F, so it naturally cools when the temp is 90 F, even at disgustingly high humidity levels. Whereas at 110 F with a dry breeze under a hot sun, you get crusted with your body's salts and go straight to dehydration and heat exhaustion with any serious exertion. Heat exhaustion in 110 F heat does not abate until you enter a cool environment; you can rest all you want, but as soon as you restart exertion, it will worsen.
You just want to say words go away loser nobody cares 110 is fricking lovely compared to even a humid 80 get out of my thread you are nothing to me
nah 110 is dizzyingly hot honestly
The RECORD high for Reno is 108F. It never gets 110 here (though it probably will at some point in the future). Reno is NOT Vegas. The climate is totally different. There's 4 distinct seasons and summer is hot during the afternoon and nice at night and in the morning. If anything its too fricking cold too here much of the time. The weather wienerteases you by warming up and then it freezes again or by snowing in October then getting hot again.
Yeah I wasn't saying it was but I've been in the high desert near LA during like 108+ heat and that shit makes you feel dizzy
I'd take a dry 100 over a humid 80 but not a dry 110. 110 is heat stroke in 30 minutes shit
Was 93 today where I am with nearly 100% humidity. I worked full effort outdoors the entire day today. I was completely drenched like I just went swimming for 10 hours lmao.
Gambling doesn't appeal to me I don't even enjoy it when I win. It even feels stupid when I win. Just not into it at all. As for the presence of vices, every single gas station in the midwest/south has dozens of different options for "legal THC" so at this point Utah is the only real place to avoid these types of things. Though I am doing fine where I am now and it's degenerate as frick here, so I think I'll be fine steering clear of booze and everything else.
>Grand Junction is a boring and dirty hick town
I was able to determine this from google maps quite easily however that is not a complete loss, but yes, I primarily am interested in bicycling without having to do any driving in order to achieve that so hick towns are not exactly friendly to that concept.
Interesting about the dislike of "van life" type people. In my life I've worked on the road a lot and always just saved money by sleeping in my truck. I saw this very sentiment you describe when I lived in Oregon/Washington. I think for the most part I do not come across as a bum and do not get approached by bums, I could literally be right next to them and they would probably pretend I was a ghost. Idk. Just something about me I guess.
I want to keep options open, I have some interviews for the Reno area coming soon. I only car camp for fun, like I have a place to stay but sometimes for work I'd rather just stay in the area I'm working rather than go home. It's always an option.
I would bet that a huge majority of people prefer to be in 110 degrees with low humidity to 90 degrees 100 percent humidity, regardless of how fast you dehydrate.
A dry sauna a 150 degrees feel fricking nicer than the American south in summer
Reno has cool forested mountains a few miles away. If you are living in a car, there is no point in staying in the city when it is sweltering hot.
Move to a shitty town in Colorado/Arizona/New Mexico if you want to avoid humidity without paying $1900 for a one bedroom. Longmont CO, Albuquerque NM, Tucson AZ
Imagine living in your car in a town full of tweakers when there's thousands of comfy small towns surrounded by public land out west
I know you are special needs but when someone refers to car living in a general area, it is not in reference to a 5 square mile area, but more likely a 500 square mile area. You fricking king of morons.
You have no comprehension of my awful personality. I've got it dialed in. I've done every kind of job there is. I have a very good grasp of what I want to do and what I don't.
If you're not car camping in an urban area, then you're not moving to Reno. If you're car camping within a 500 square mile radius of Reno, you're nowhere near Reno. moron. Stay on the east coast warehouse boy, you couldn't hack it out here.
You are a stupid homosexual and your mom is a prostitute
If you even come out here (you won't), you'd be running back home to mommy with your tail tucked between your legs in less than a month. You can't handle these streets, chicken boy. CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK
Your brain is so dogshit that you did not even properly understand my earlier post. It was in reference to general use of terminology, not at all in reference of my willingness to sleep in an area. You are an outright dumb person for this.
If you're not willing to car camp in an urban area then you're not moving to Reno or anywhere near Reno. So change the name of your thread to camping on US public lands within 500 sq miles of Reno, tard. Cope, seethe and dilate.
Again, you fully misunderstood me. I was NOT making a statement about willingness to car camp or camp at all in any area. I was making a point about how I use certain terms. In a vehicle, anything within 500 miles is "camping range" for me. This is how I use this term. It has nothing at all to do with what your dogshit brain had in mind. Sorry about your garbage ass brain. Dumbfrick.
I am quite literally within a 5 mile radius of over 1 million Black folk as we speak. You've probably never seen such darkness.
Your point makes no sense, other than that you're going to commute 500 miles to Reno just to avoid urban camping. What a pussy.
No, it means that I am open to anywhere within 500 miles of Reno. As anybody with a vehicle would know what that means. You think like a bus rider. You literally STILL think I made a comment about an aversion to the city. Not the case at all. Also, 99% chance I'm renting an apartment. You fricking idiot.
Nah frick that, looks like a scar for 300 miles on google maps. Not my area. SLC is the biggest place I'll go. That Denver chain of cities can frick right off.
You're an imbecilic sperg who moves the goalposts anytime someone is confused by your poorly written posts.
>"Should I move to Reno? Im willing to sleep in my car bro"
>No, unless you're willing to sleep around tweakers
>"No-no moron, I meant I'll camp 30 miles outside of Reno! There's tons of warehouse work out in the empty desert!!! And I'm not even going to sleep in my car, I have money from muh warehouse job!!!"
moronic sperg, lmao
I will sleep in you crackhead mom's pussy while she gets railed by hispanics in downtown Reno how about that
These comments were all meant to get those posters to consider other things, because the criminal and social situation of Reno is of absolutely zero concern to me. So I make comments that would perhaps make a person think "oh okay not an issue" and then they can use their brain for something that I actual consider, perhaps now that person can suggest something about the job market.
No, you are just a stupid braindead frick that has PTSD from junkies. I don't care about you.
You are a braindead frick who works in a warehouse and flips out like a moron when someone takes what they posted at face value. When you can't afford tech wage inflated rent with your minimum wage and you're selling your ass on the street, don't say I didn't warn you
Anon, I make quite enough money to live in Reno. The details I provided were meant to guide the discussion in a particular minimalistic path, but instead you were actually too moronic for that and instead insisted on tweaker fear porn. You are silly. You live a life with a brain on fire. Everything in your mind is shit because you are shit.
You literally said you would live in your car. You make close to minimum wage. You're a sperg and think people can read your mind and know your autistic word definitions and word games. Have fun choking on Reno wieners, I heard their sweaty this time of year
I did say this yes, and it was meant to imply that "there would be no issue in this area" meaning that the discussion could go elsewhere.
You are too fricking stupid.
>I will live in my car anywhere
aka "don't get stuck on the topic of housing"
>make close to minimum wage
aka "I dont want to tell you shit about what I do"
If you had a brain that was not full of meth you would simply continue the conversation with it's natural flow, rather than force your own projected negative emotions. I guess you suck dicks in Reno, huh?
>simply continue the conversation with it's natural flow,
I replied to what you said at face value and you called me a moron. For not knowing about your stupid homosexual word games. Now I see you're really, truly, a moron. Congratulations. And my apologies to travel for replying with this moron
No, only the spergy morons like you focus so intensely on details. If you ever have a conversation in real life you will notice that people sometimes just say bullshit in a conversation because they want the topic to remain in a certain way. When talking to autistic moronic gays like you on the internet, they insist on a perfect vetting of facts. This is not actually normal. Frick you.
>*Hey guys I make barely more than minimum wage and want to move across the country to an expensive town and I'll even sleep in my car"
>Be careful out there kid
"NO NO NO moron I WAS JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE I HAVE TO LIE AND HERD THE CONVERSION OR ELSE IT'LL GO OFF THE RAILS!!!"
Holy shit the cope just keeps going. We're you lying about your awful personality too?
It's my fault, I admit, I forgot that any time you ever do this on SighSee all you get is cowards and pussies talking about how hard and scary stuff is.
You do this in real life and people just say "hell yeah go for it dawg"
Again, frick you.
There is no reason for a poor low income antisocial sperg to risk getting robbed or worse just to live in "le heckin epic big city" when they could just as well move to a smaller town with better outdoor access and better people. Keep living in your delusional bubble, idgaf
Reno Nevada is just a regular town full of regular people.
I am quite confident I could get you to say negative things about anything. This is just who you are.
And to be clear, this would be a risk you'd be taking by moving in your car.
Which you clearly said you might be doing, in fact everything you said implied you WOULD be doing that.
But you call people moronic for believing in what you said. Like seriously, wtf is wrong with your dumbass head? I'm really trying to understand
This is an element of SighSee culture, to focus in aggressively on any detail that seems suspect. I provided a litany of these in this thread, without any respect for this very basic SighSeener habit.
Yes, it was irresponsible expecting that autistic morons could just say "sounds dope go for it brah". Any normal person would say this. I've had a dozen people IRL say this to me. I even joke IRL "haha might just sleep on the streets" and they say "beast bro".
Not here. Why? Because you have brain AIDS. You have brain AIDS.
I'm sure you're totally "joking" and not just embarrassed that you admitted to being a poorgay and then flipped out like a moron when someone suggested you don't camp in your car in Reno like you planned on doing.
With your level of intelligence you won't survive a week in Reno in your car before you get it stolen and AIDS in your butthole so start saving those pennies
Look, either I can talk tough and you fricktards will demand proof, or I can severely understate myself, and maybe MAYBE I will get useful information. It didn't work this time. You really suck.
People will give you advice relevant to what you specify. Try not being a moronic sperg
Your mom pooped you out of her butthole
Total West Coast victory. Virginia hicks can't keep up because their ancestors stayed behind while Chads went West to find the Promised Land
I don't even live in West Virginia. FYI.
Also, I have 3 job offers and am relocating in 2 weeks.
Yes, there's 3 different McDonald's in Reno and they're all hiring. You can sell your ass pussy on the side too
You know there are parts of the world that are actually quite hellish, Reno isn't one of those places.
Living (like actually surviving, not vanlife) in your car anywhere is hellish. In Reno, it's hellish and there's roving gangs of meth bandits just dying for some sweet Virginian virgin ass pussy
Get your female thoughts out of here
Move to Grand Junction like I said. Stay out of my town
Lmao nah Colorado is my last choice Reno still in first place, I have very strong doubts that Reno can be enough of a shithole for me to try SLC. You can say all you want, I quite literally believe you to be stupid and jaded so your opinion means nothing.
Literally never even said Reno is a shit hole unless you're living in a car. You're so dumb
Why would living in a car make Reno into a shithole? Either it is or it isn't.
Because then the methed out criminal homeless become a substantial threat. The inability of your dumb brain to this parse out from what I've been saying makes you dumb
I fully grasp what you are implying. I find it completely absurd and choose to disregard it. I don't delineate my stamping grounds in such a weak willed way. Are you cucks just running inside your houses when the sun goes down to hide from the tweakers? Lmfao. Either you are exaggerating, or a coward.
Youve never lived in your car. You've never lived anywhere but your parents house
I do for fun when I want to, but I also have an apartment. Cope and seethe. I do lots of camping, and also enjoy having a home base.
>for fun
So no
Lol sorry anon I'm just not poor enough to do it for any reason besides extended camping trips hahahahaha
hahaha
I make way more than you because I'm not a pussy who's afraid of a little human interaction so he only does the lowest tier of warehouse jobs.
He's literally afraid to learn a trade because it'll trigger his autism... Oh God HAHAHAHA
*sigh* I am a tradesman I literally am an HVAC salesman alright
there you have my actual profession, like I said, SighSee has a really insane problem with details. I understated every detail for the very important reason that you frickers would inevitably do this.
By that you mean blowing old men in your jalopy? LOL, OWNED
Is this what your mother did while you waited in the trunk?
You are a travelling salesman of BS and you'll never recover from this owning. I'm going to go for a walk and feel the cool non humid air on my skin and not worry about methed up joggers (because I live in a rural exurb that you couldn't dream of affording or commuting to) while you seethe and dream of living like this. Later dork
>A walk
>In Reno
Your butthole may never survive from what I've heard
The owning exists only in your head because all of what you believe about me was invented by you. Good job, king of delusions. You have a really shit brain. I didn't ask any questions about you. Why? Because I know you are worthless. It is no question.
Why would I ever provide accurate information when it is so clear that low lifes like you are all that are interested? It's quite funny that you get told a bunch of nonsense and you think you're slaying dragons or something with it. You. Are. A. Joke.
Your existence can be summed up a meme, how tragic
It is simply true that I dont respect the posters here enough to give them information that isnt particularly designed for specific answers
They didnt behave this time but often they do
>enough to give them information that isnt particularly designed for specific answers
LARPing that you work minimum wage and can't afford to get an apartment lined up (it's not a LARP btw) is only going to get you people saying "then wtf are you going to move across the country and live in your car". Obviously
>They didnt behave this time but often they do
So you intentionally spread lies AND THEN further dig into the lie by arguing against the replies
You defended that you can sleep in your car in 100° weather. You have excessive details about your financial status and personal life. There's only two reasons to do all this: to troll or to tell the truth. This doesn't help you get some secret information that no one would share if you didn't LARP. It's simply the truth, end of story
On a real note: forget about "le hustle and bustle of the big city" and check out Grand Junction, CO instead. Drive north on 25 Rd. until you hit BLM land. You can camp there, its about 10 minutes from town. Theres world class mountain biking nearby and warehouse and other shit jobs you can easily get through a staffing agency, and there's less tweakers than shitty Reno.
oops you said grand junction I read colorado springs lmfao
yeah that place is an option
Do u like arid deserts? Humidity is better than bleeding dry air with massive temp fluctuations. Live on a big lake if u do.
Lol frick off I went to arizona it was dope
Always feels great, you just keep a coat with you.
The Eastern Sierra is a region of very harsh weather. Extreme wind events, endless wind, severe cold spells, unrelenting summer sunshine and heat, and long periods of gray, damp, windy high desert cold when the atmospheric rivers pour in from the West Coast in winter time. You will miss the rich green forests and natural life of "Almost Heaven", as your nose bleeds from the aridity and you have to snort moisturizing cream up your nostrils. But the Eastern Sierra has spectacular beauty and recreation opportunities, there are alpine forests and clear rushing creeks, and the desert is a place of glorious solitude and fascinating natural wonders. And in Reno, you have the casinos, urban nightlife and an interstate highway to take you to the Bay Area if you want some California greenery and ocean influence in your life.
Not OP, what's cool shit to do in Reno in general?
Casinos
Hiking
Good food scene, it's trendy these days
Lake Tahoe nearby
Skiing
Music scene is OK, not a lot of big names tho
Great alternative if you can disregard the humidity
Bentonville Arkansas
>Is it a shitty idea to move to Reno NV? Currently live in West Virginia.
so you only live in shitholes or something?
I am at best going to make 20 dollars an hour in my life and my only reprieve is the outdoors
Unrelated but have you looked into maybe like a trade? If you become a power lineman you can make a shit ton of money if you're ok with working outside.
Not interested at all. Moving boxes is pretty much the limit of what I'm willing to do around other humans for extended periods of time. No trades. No offices. Frick that shit.
Bullshit, you will get tired of it eventually. You only need a slightly higher tolerance for human BS to do a trade than warehouse and eventually you will reach a point where management can't treat you like pond scum (mostly)
The Panasonic/Tesla factories just outside of Reno pay $20/hr for no-skill jobs. They hire immediately because they can't keep employees.

So this is my pros/cons analysis for moving
Seems like Reno wins and it's time for me to frick off from my shitty town. Thoughts?
Just go bro. You also forgot to mention the general mental developments you get by not being in your comfort zone. Go do new things
You're right. All my friends will try to stop me, my family will too. What kind of respect should I have for this?
Understand that they're doing it out of (hopefully) love, don't burn bridges over it. Tell them it's for a better future. You don't have to make them accept it, that's not on you. If you care much about them make plans to visit every so often or hold some video calls.
Good advice
How does it compare to the Reno/Tahoe area? They seem very comparable, SLC being a much larger version.
For now, SLC has everything going for it. Once the libshits move in and frick it up it will be like Denver. That won't happen for a while because there aren't that many of ~~*them*~~. The mormons are the counter balance to globo homo.
Based. Thoughts on Reno/Tahoe? No income tax sounds nice, but I like trains and Reno doesn't have one.
Libshits won't move to Utah as long as two things are true. 1. illegal abortions. 2. illegal weed. SLC won't turn into Portland for a while.
There's actually a steam locomotive they run for tourists between Carson City and Virginia City (old mining town at the top of a mountain).
Reno is also on the original transcontinental that first crossed the country. There's an Amtrak station and a shit ton of freight trains that come through. So I don't know where you get the idea that Reno doesn't have trains unless you mean like light rail public transit which is true.
Yeah, light rail public transit.
Anything is superior to humidity
I've run my course pretty hard with pot and alcohol, don't plan on any degenerate activity wherever I live. Is doing no drugs or alcohol going to make Reno seem much worse? lol
>Is doing no drugs or alcohol going to make Reno seem so much worse
Drugs? Not so much, there's a shit ton of dispensaries, it's weird to see it sold so openly if you're from another state and weed is a big part of snow sports culture but I think most people don't smoke weed and most people hate tweakers.
Alcohol? Maybe. This is a very alcohol friendly town. Almost every restaurant has a full wienertail bar, several beers on tap, etc. Casinos hand out free drinks. But I don't think Reno has the drinking culture of the rust belt where people go drinking with coworkers every night so its easy to not partake.
If you have an addictive personality don't come here. There's lots of vices, a lot of them are legal, and some are in your face a lot of the time (like slot machines in half the grocery stores and gas stations here which I hate). I do know people who ended up moving because they just couldn't control themselves and not go in a gambling joint, get drunk, and lose their paycheck every week.
Grand Junction is a boring and dirty hick town.
It's really pretty normal. I don't think the crime problem is bad here and the parts of town that are kinda sketchy are still fine, just be a little more cautious. There's hardly any blacks which makes a difference. There's some homeless junkies that wander 4th street and might steal something left out but the odds of being involved in a chimpout here are extremely low. Again, avoid injuns.
Living in your car is stupid though, it puts you into contact withe the homeless drug using population. All cities in the west have a transient problem and Reno on top of that has the burning man crowd (which many locals resent because it attracts hippies and Californians) where some of them like to larp as van life people, so that kind of lifestyle is frowned upon. It's enough of an issue that RV parks here will turn you away if your rig looks dumpy. If you have a motorhome though there are places to stay.
Okay yes you need to leave your hometown but Reno is such a trashy town with tons of meth heads. You can do so much better bro, I dislikes it when I went. Why don’t you try scouting the areas first?
What about Portland? My hometown is DC btw. I’ve been moving westward since 2021
I've been to Portland, it's okay. I rate 5/10. Eugene was 6/10. The pollen is a bigger problem than the homeless. Holy shit I couldn't breathe lmao.
Imagine having PTSD about your hometown, ultimate loser you are.
Reno seems very nice actually. It has everything I desire minus a light rail which is not a deal breaker. What is trashy about Reno? Meth heads don't phase me, they make up the majority population of where I grew up.
Let the record be known, Reno does not even qualify as a crime ridden town to me. There is nothing alarming about the moral behavior of the inhabitants of Reno.

>1690 homeless people
This is like 10% of what my expectation was
New poster to this thread. OP sounds rather stupid and extremely naïve. If he moves to Reno and tries to live out of his car, they're going to eat him alive. He'll be selling his ass pussy for meth and McDonald's in 60 days.
He was lying, he's already in Reno and wants to move to West Virginia. If you didn't understand this than you're a moron and he is intellectually superior
You know who's going to have a harder time than OP after he moves to Reno? The police. They're going to have to figure out if OP was raped and then murdered or murdered and then raped. They'll have literally gallons of semen to run tests on from his lower intestine and dozens of possible suspects.
Sup Reno anon, I just read through this thread. I have a few questions.
So I’ve been living in Denver since March 2022, and I was interested in moving further westward. Portland struck my interest initially NOT because I’m some liberal but they appear to have an excellent public transportation system and I wouldn’t need a car. I don’t need a car in Denver and I enjoy that. However, I’m a bit of a degenerate and have Chris moltisanti energy. I like to dress in sleazecore and frick hookers. I came to Denver with 2k in my pocket and was able to get $20-25 dollar jobs easily. By the time my lease is up in Denver (July 2024) I will have had 1.3 years of exp as a security guard. I’ve also worked in warehouses, can drive a forklift etc. I’m pretty confident in my ability to get a job. I will also have 6 months of living expenses and really disciplined with money.
So my questions
> is having a car essential to living in Reno?
>what’s the rent for a studio apartment (even in a shitty area)?
>if I wanted to frick hookers how would that work logistically?
>could I live out my dream as a sad gangster wearing bowler shirts and fricking hookers at shitty motels listening to 80s/90s music?
Thanks. Denver seems like it’s got “some” of the similar vibe but I guess less vivid and subsumed in a mountains libertarian tripping in shrooms at red rocks presentation
You'll probably want a car in Reno compared to Denver since there's less walkable living urban space. Rent should be cheaper than Denver but I'm not sure. Prostitution isn't legal here, only in brothels, but there's an abundance of escorts here, similar to Vegas. But they aren't as nice as the ones in Vegas. Reno has a similar aesthetic as Vegas but you might just want to live in Vegas if you want the seedy living aesthetic. But tbh you missed the heyday of that, it's been overrun by Californians and the sprawl wiped out the most of kino aesthetic of Old Vegas you could find off the Strip
You're gay
And I highly recommend just going there in person there yourself to check it out. You can rent a car and be there in a day. Don't move across the country with only the advice of random SighSeeners and a whim and end up robbed of everything (especially your butthole virginity) like moron OP
Ur mom is gay
>thinking the advice of SighSeeners plays any role in my thought process
You are just a tool, designed for me.
You are an idiot (in the old school medical sense of the term) who stopped on a big homie's toes, got exposed and wishes he could start a new thread. Despite the fact that SighSee is anonymous, not even moving across the country and trying to start a new life will save you from this burning
Anon, I will explain something to you about SighSee. You have been recruited to speak about Reno, in order for this to happen I will choose from roughly 20 different kinds of narratives. Your eagerness to take information and run with it says only that you are ignorant of how the world works as well as your actual utility.
There is never an expectation of truthful information on SighSee, and it has zero bearing at all in terms of thread quality. You are SUPPOSED to craft narratives in order to dictate the path of the thread.
You completely misunderstood your job, because you very intensely wanted to talk about homeless man cum.
For the narrative here, I wanted a situation where under the worst circumstances the location would still be tenable. You took this as me talking about myself, and began your homosexual fantasies.
You were simply wrong, and cant cope with having taken SighSee seriously. You are the dumbest man alive.
Dumb and gay cope, you're not playing 4D checkers you're just a poorgay whose destiny is getting filled with hobo AIDs
Weird fantasy, you sad little gay.
For the remainder of your transient stay on SighSee, I would like you to be fully aware that the samegayging LARPers are in fact the bread and butter of this website. Threads are the highest possible quality when these folks are running rampant. If you wish to critique and vet information, please return to r*ddit.
This is not 4D chess, this is quite simply how the website works. You say whatever you want, but everybody keeps their eye on the ball of the topic because the details are assumed by everybody to be bullshit. So then people can actually focus.
You are clearly not privy to this.
Lol, poorgay
:^) best post you've made so far, you're learning!
>is having a car essential to living in Reno?
If you live somewhere in the central part of it possibly not. Reno is small enough you can actually walk across the main part of town if you're motivated. There are buses and a lot of the casino wagies who are frequently immigrants that can't drive don't have cars and take the bus. That's generally the shitty part of Reno tho.
>could I live out my dream as a sad gangster wearing bowler shirts and fricking hookers at shitty motels
Yes absolutely, bowling here is very popular, for some reason. People unironically go bowling after work and stuff. And yes there are brothels but unlike Vegas they're right outside Reno instead of an hour away. I don't think they're worth it though when you can probably just bang an escort for a lot less money.
Reno generally is a lot like what Denver was like imo, 30 years ago, when it was just starting to be a non-shithole city. In 15 years it will probably be a second Denver.
It's honestly a lot cleaner than it was even 5 years ago. The new money pushed out many of those kind of people and they're tearing down a lot of the flophouses they lived in.
How is the library?
>How is the library
How does asking about the library help you? Because you're poor and need free wifi and a place to hang out in the day to avoid the blazing sun. It's also where the bums hang out so you'll have easy access to Johns to start your freelance escort business
Libraries have cool architecture. I enjoy architecture. Typically they are one of the primary buildings that a city is proud of. I see you have never entered a library.
Then Google images of the Reno library you strange lying gay. Smelly bums like you who post up on the computer all day ruin libraries. You're not welcome here gay
Lmao, google images is worthless for appreciating things. I'm more than welcome in Reno. It's a lovely place and it will be the next great chapter of my life. I am excited. I can't wait.
I'm sure moving will help you cope with the fact that you're a strange lying poorgay
You can believe what you want. Do you know why I allow you to hold onto your assumptions? I'll let you keep guessing on that one.
Your jalopy will break down before you cross the Mississippi. You won't get one iota of my tax dollars on your EBT card
Sneed
You are TTT gay. You arent creative enough to samegay without revealing yourself. You just quivered internally and shivered externally after being sussed out and your samegayging games will never be the same again
Idgi. I made a post asking about Reno as a next potential interlude spot between cooming. I didn’t say “sneed”
Nobody is quivering or shivering except Thai qts when I unexpectedly push my tongue into their butthole while I’m eating them out doggy from the back
Schizo samegay tard
t. Schizo
All the posts are by the same person you dumbass. Don’t worry, you can do what I do also. Just save up 10k+
Dumb schizo TTT Black person fabricated pure cope about why he fudges details in the OP when he really does it hide the fact that he samegays 85+% of the posts in his own threads so they stay at the top of the page, and to hide from the shame his cringey attention whoring e-persona has brought him. This tard got rattled after some mild trolling and blew open his own cover and outed himself.
The details in the OP are 95+% true and align with tardo's biography which he has plastered all over this board. Total West Coast victory over this dumb hick
Lmao except you're wrong so that means you're the schizo 😀
Dumb Black person blew a $100k inheritance and now has to work night shifts 7 days a week, no wonder he's going schizo
t. schizo
I don't even go to SighSee and I have no idea of your odd little poster reputations
t. pathological liar
t. schizophrenic autistic loser
Instead of moving maybe you should have a nice day. Jesus what a piece of shit
I’m too goodlooking. It would be a waste
You're a fine person, there is a sperg ITT trying to gatekeep Reno
I'm not sure what attracted you to Reno, but at least Lake Tahoe isn't too far away. That's more the area where you'll be able to hike and camp.
