      Not sure best way to message as I’m not on social media, but would love to see a video on “best place to buy a historic home” or “best place to get an old farmhouse”. I was just watching a video where you said “not everyone wants a 1930s farmhouse on acreage” and I was thinking “I do”! 😂. Something that considers crime, cost, and quality of living.

The traffic, roadrage, crime, cost of living, etc. It's all getting worse because people want to move here because they like what they hear about us but then move here with their fast pace, toxic city life mentality and force those views on locals and demand "change" ... the same change that they moved away from.

    Interesting video. Of the ten reasons listed none would deter me from moving to Wyoming. We've been here two years and can only marvel at this state. Being retired, I don't need to work and wouldn't as to not take a job away from someone who needs it.
    Weather does get cold, but nothing like when I was stationed in Alaska or England.
    First visited Wyoming in 1986 and was so impressed with the friendliness of the people and the wide open spaces.
    I would NEVER suggest to bring ideas from other states to change anything here. Why mess with a winning system.
    At this point in my life I doubt I'll ever leave the state. It has everything I need and want.

    Been in Wyoming for 35 years. Have tried for a month to get an eye exam but every time I make an appointment we have another blizzard. Last night we got 5" of snow, very wet Spring snow, shut down the interstate and many other state highways. Winter starts in late September usually and stickes around till April. If you don't mind 6-7 months of winter, it's the place to live. I've finally retired and Nevada is starting to look good. I live in a tiny town of 450 and my property tax jumped 15% due to the multimillion dollar homes being built in my area, and they are developing land, ripping out wilderness areas and creating terrible traffic issues, not to mention the amount of search and rescue operations because people are stupid and take snow machines out in a white out blizzard, or go somewhere they should not be.

      This has definitely not been my experience. I'm a native Californian who moved to South Dakota, Nebraska, and then Wyoming. All my neighbors are retirement age or raising families. Since moving here my neighbors have been nothing but kind from literally repairing my vehicles and offering to pay costs to welcome gift baskets and a literal packet of everyone's numbers and services they offer since it's a little outside city limits. Theyre almost too kind because I went out of town once and came back the same day to the police at my home because my dogs had been barking and they thought I was dead! Apparently, when older people around here die alone, nobody knows unless their dogs are going crazy.

We get it Briggs, you're from California and have a bias. But those of us who have watched transplants change things arnt buying what you're selling.

      Exactly, it’s a number’s game and it sucks. I think people are seriously underestimating the impact that Californians have on the Mountain West. Bozeman in Montana is unrecognizable these days due to Californians. It has gotten so bad in Bozeman that housing costs in Bozeman are now similar to San Francisco! Colorado is now just California in the mountains. I don’t think Briggs have been out to the Mountain West enough to understand this. 70 years ago, Colorado was more like Wyoming! Today, it almost twins Southern California. The traffic, homelessness, crimes, etc. Californians are changing the Mountain West one by one! Colorado’s gone, Idaho is next, Montana is after Idaho, Utah, and then Wyoming! Give it another 50 years. I just hope I don’t live that long to see my state (Montana) turning into California. I’d rather be dead than seeing that happening to my state!

    A while back I moved to Wyoming from Oregon. Some comments:
    Animal damage: I hit a deer on the highway, many near misses. Almost hit a grizzly bear with 2 cubs. I also had a grizzly on my back porch, checking out the bar-b-que. But what's the problem? Wildlife is one of the main reasons to appreciate Wyoming. BTW the fish and wildlife "service" is insufferable. And ranchers should be able to shoot wolves giving them problems. The federal government screws everything up.
    Cold and snowy: I grew up in Wisconsin so I didn't consider it that cold or snowy. I got by, with some inconvenience, with non-studded tires in a 2WD station wagon. The snow falls in Wyoming, then blows to Kansas. BTW we had a good heavy snowfall in Cody in April or May, one year.
    Jackson: I remember reading that the average home price in Teton County was $400k or $500k, while the average in the rest of the state was like $120k. Teton County is largely for rich assholes.
    Hunting: If you kill an elk, a grizzly is fairly likely to take it away from you. A shot is like a dinner bell for them. Don't leave your .44 Magnum revolver at home. BTW Wyoming is seriously gun-crazy. If you don't like guns, you shouldn't come there.
    Small towns: Wyoming, more than anything, is a small town state. Sometimes Californians move in and build a house on a ridge somewhere, spoiling the view and causing absurd utility bills when the winter rolls around. Smart people look for sheltered places to stay out of the wind. But why live out of town anyway? You should live in one of those small towns. Do try to fit in; you will be a lot happier. Wyoming is full of friendly people, if you respect them and deal straight with them.
    Do It Yourself: You have to be able to fix things yourself, if you live there, Either that, or pay huge piles of money to get a drunk repairman on site.
    Internet: I had to go to my neighbor to ask if I could mount a Wimax dish on a hill on his land and run a cable to my home. Of course he agreed. But the performance was not impressive.

So a two-way street maybe you heard that that you are like a big town with a long Main Street that's basically what it is in wyoming.

    I'm not from Wyoming, but grew up next door in Colorado. Wyoming is a great state, but I agree that it's not for everyone as you said in your video. Particularly for people from more densly populated parts of the U.S. I now live in North Carolina and small towns here are gigantic compared to those in the isolated interior parts of the West. There are small towns, homes and farms everywhere in the East. You don't know how isolated things can feel until you go out West (or to Alaska), and the llocal quicky-mart is at least 30 minutes away and the closest grocery store is at least an hour away. Wyoming is like that nearly everywhere.
