I was in Reno. We had Californians moving there because it was 'more affordable.' I've lived all over. I don't stay in any place that doesn't seem to want me for long; I'm not going to stay and make myself miserable just to make a statement that will never be heard anyway.

I lived in Mammoth for 20 years, left in 2010. I saw Reno turn into a shithole. It wasn't from Californian's alone. It use to be really nice. In the 90's when they started building Lemon Valley, it was being populated with more retiree's from the east than from the west. I looked at Reno, but I couldn't do it. Cheap rent brought Cheap people. Look at Fernley, we used to race there at the Motocross track. That place went to shit fast. By 2006 it was section 8 housing and that was WITH Amazon and the other warehouses. Tesla was supposed to go in there I thought? Well around 2008 everything went to shit. I can tell you, unequivocally, Vegas is because the influx of the displaced people in the south. Carson City was nice but that slowly turned. Genoa and Tahoe was about the only place that stayed.
