Born and raised here. It's nice if you love the outdoors and nature, but if that's not a big draw for you then our CoL is absolutely insane for such a boring and small place. Paying 2760 per month for a run down shithole 3 bedroom in a shitty neighbourhood fucking sucks and unless you have a degree, you have to work some kind of labour job to make decent money. Most of those are either camp jobs or require a vehicle cause they're out of range of the public transit.

It is a beautiful place and our summers are short but amazing, but like I said it's awfully boring if you're not an outdoorsy person. The winter is also long, dark, and very cold.

over by the yavapai it's around $1000 per month, but the jobs are still few, far away and pay shit; even the ones that require a degree.

i haven been there since 2014, so maybe it's worse now.
