About Us

Reno is high on my list. Can you tell me a little more about the
area?

We moved to Reno from Northern California last fall.

What we like:
1. The cost of living is much lower than California - A new 2500
SF home with a big yard cost us $240K. No income tax
2. It is a "Business Friendly" state as far as the state not
highly taxing or regulating businesses. This means that many
businesses are moving here.
3. My impression is that the environment is clean. Some but not
much smog. We have some great views of the desert and mountains.
4. Recreation - Major rivers, Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada are
right here. The summit of a 10,776 foot mountain is 12 miles from my
house.
5. Big City Ammenities - All the "Big Name" singers, acts,
circuses, rodeos, etc come here. We have symphonies, multiple acting
companies, a major university, etc...
6. The city is really not huge. I think you can be anywhere in
town in less than 15 minutes.
7. One of the easiest international airports I have ever been to.
I can leave my HOME an hour before the flight and still get there on
time.

What we don't like:
1. Smoking in public places (We stay away from casinos).
2. Winter is too cold for boating (4500 feet elevation - Can snow
in most any month)
3. Not a great place for gardening (see #2 above)
4. We have always lived in rural (5K people) towns - this is a
bit crowded.
5. The wind seems to be always blowing.
6. Light pollution from the casinos interferes with my telescope
observing.

I hope that helps. Feel free to contact me at
