I’m from and live in Houston,Tx and y’all don’t know what heat IS until you’ve lived here with 100% humidity most of the time at 100+ temperatures in the summer time! Winter time is worse…colder here at 30 degrees above zero with the humidity and the rain than when I lived in Denver back in the 70s with all the snow! Seriously! Trying to sell Pepsi cola for a living back then was a pain in the rear, too! 😂 During my 38 years in trucking I spent a lot of time at all the truck stops in Cheyenne, but, sadly, I never got to see much of Cheyenne as a tourist. Be happy you live in Cheyenne…Houston is too big, too expensive, too crime-ridden, too mean, too dirty, and, frankly, just SUCKS!…I know bc I’ve lived here for 70 years! Stay safe! ~Jim~
Hey there, I currently live in Central Texas and I just can't stand this heat anymore either, you know how are winter can be in texas, not blizzards by any means but do you think wyoming would be a good place to move to from here or would the winter be to much of a change?
@@BillyMayhem2000 Well, as a retired truck driver having spent 38 years over the road, all over our country, I can say I liked Wyoming…however, traveling on I-80 either east or west the winds can be quite nasty practically blowing one’s car into the next lane or possibly off the road. It happened to me, pushing my truck and trailer, AND, load MANY times into the next lane. The people there are generally very friendly and seem to always want to help someone in need. The winters are pretty harsh that causes road closures with all the snow and ice [and don’t forget the winds I mentioned that add to the winter also]. I hope this helps. Google anything else that you may need to know. Have a great day!
@@BillyMayhem2000 Where do you live in Central Texas? I have kinfolks all over there…Belton, Temple, Killeen, McGregor, Waco, Gatesville, Bastrop, and, Moody.
Bro…. Number one reason, imho, wind. Easily number 1. It’ll literally take the fun out of whatever you’re doing. Wind strong enough to blow over semis and shut down freeways.
Living in Wyoming is Difficult enough for sure, I lived in the State for over 25 years got out in 2016 just in time, before it started to Fall apart, The Entire State is in Economic Free Fall, Serious Unemployment issues plague the State, with many towns that have no jobs what so ever, of any type, Towns such as Rock Springs, Green River and Rawlins are on the verge of Collapse, people are moving out of these towns in large numbers, The Oil and Gas Industries have fallen apart, and so have the jobs that once paid well, never to return. Cheyenne has a serious Unemployment Problem and its getting worse, add the fact that it is Crazy Expensive to live there, Rents are Sky High, and Power Bills, Utility Bills can easily exceed $ 600 to well over $ 900 Per Month even for small homes and apartments, make it even worse The lack of good Restaurants, Shopping, adds to the problem. Crime is becoming an issue in Cheyenne as well, Meth, has been a problem for years in the Town , and is getting worse as well. There are so many better places to live than Cheyenne, This is why people are moving out of Cheyenne, in numbers as well as Places like Casper, Sheridan, and Gillette, all these Towns are Bad News and should be avoided.
Y'all do have buses though correct? I recall where we're moving to off Fox Farm has the red color bus line that arrives every hour at :11 past the hour. Between 6am & 6pm. Is this correct or have they shut down the whole system? I was hoping to catch the bus as it arrives. Do I have to call ahead for every stop?
Worst thing of course is the wind, everybody know this ,but the best thing is it's 9 miles across the state line from Colorado, no state income tax, you can go down south (Colorado) and come back to sanity !! Oh no traffic -- oh yes , people do talk to you in Cheyenne like your a real person -- that's a good thing-- Colorado is getting totally insane!!!! Wyoming has some sanity left!!
I am definitely NOT a "socialite", and enjoy open spaces and rural areas...I would go insane in a city, and unfortunately, the population is exploding from the influx of move-ins around me in our "rural" areas..unfortunately, I don't know if I could deal with the brutal winters in Wyoming, otherwise I would move there in a heartbeat...might have to give it a go anyways if things keep getting worse...
The Entire Town is very unappealing, most people that move there end up moving right back out in a matter of a few short months, Its not a good place to live at all, so many problems and issues, they dont address. The Town is Regularly Listed as one of the Worst Places to live in that Part of the United States.
2 years ago my sister had to fly into Denver from Knoxville Tennessee and then to Gillette Wyoming and drive from their to sheridan Wyoming for are moms funeral it took her 2 days to get here and when she had to go home it took 3 days she said never again!
How much do you have to make in order to afford living there? The housing market is ridiculously high. And the weather is extremely rough in the winter. I’m a truck driver.
Can you still buy a reasonable piece of land (minimum 5 acres but preferably more) for a reasonable price?...and how oppressive are the building laws there, as far as building a small off-grid cabin ones self if that's what one wants(that's what I would like)..and the property taxes(government rent)?....
@@dyer2cycle There are some counties that have zero county regulations for building. And we have the best cottage laws in the USA. But I do think cost of property is way overpriced.
Dont even consider it , Crazy Expensive to live there, Winter's are Horrible, and many times, several times a year all Roads, Interstates, and Highways are closed as in Shut Down for days on end, sometimes longer, all Vehicles Including Big Trucks are Not Allowed to move. The Housing market is a Scam There, as is the Rental Market, all designed to separate you from your money, any way they can, Weeks of Sub Zero temps and Weeks of Nonstop Blizzards make it even worse...its just the truth...
I take it that the minus 60 wind chills aren't common there, it's just the extreme it gets. I know it gets very cold, but that kind of weather doesn't stick around for too long.
@@katie7748 Cold temps like that are extremely dangerous, many people can't be prepared for that, older people, people who can't afford to warm their place etc
Malls are dying everywhere in the states. I was just in Indianapolis and the mall by the capitol building and the convention center was not looking good.
Its not just the Mall in Cheyenne its the entire City, they are closing down stores, shops, restaurants like mad, they are predicting by 2026 Cheyenne will lose most of its down town area business' and there will be large numbers of Abandoned Buildings, and Homes in the City its already started.....
Truthfully Cheyenne is nothing but a windy dust bowl. Much nicer places to live in Wyoming. But the entire state is pretty much rural living, no big cities in this state which suits me fine.
Cheyenne is much much worse than almost any town in Wyoming to live, I lived in Cody, Powell, and Finally in Sheridan for many years, moved back to East Texas where we are from, and Love it ! 1000% Better than Wyoming.
But, on a good note, it appears that there is plenty of open land if you just want to go and poop outside somewhere. It's very pleasurable to be able to just pull down your pants and poop out in the open nature. Then just leave it there.
Sounds great to me! Believe me when I tell you there is no utopia. In the CONUS San Diego is about as good as it gets if you can stand California politics and afford to live there. Even there the homeless problem is raising its ugly head.

Glad you like them!
Generally speaking...I'm waiting for the bad. Aside from tornados, everything else sounds amazing, no place is perfect. 👌 thank you for these vids!
We haven't had any since I moved here in 2019. Hail not even that bad *MOST* of the time
Interstates 80 and 25 are also frequently closed during the winter months
80 more than 25 youre 100% correct!

I would double check, we dont have a mass transit bus
Yeah, we regret moving to Wyoming.
Seemed like a good idea at the time but, we have to drive long distances for decent food
Did you move to Cheyenne? Where did you move from?

You can find places to rent here for under 1k a month. The medium income in Cheyenne is only about 36k!

Cheyenne was incredibly safe in the 1990s. So SAD it has changed so negatively since then.
Right? It's like someone flipped a switch and suddenly Cheyenne decided to trade its '90s mixtapes for a bit of drama!
