ctafoya Report post Posted June 7, 2021 Tired of the heat, noise, bad neighbors, pollution, etc. Every time I'm in the valley I feel sick. Fever, breathing issues, headache, pressure, exhaustion, and general irritability. This is a problem since I currently live in the valley. I had enough yesterday. Told the wife to get the house sold. I found a house in strawberry we really like. Work isn't an issue. I go to the airport Monday and usually come back early Friday. The hour and a half drive is nothing for me. We are usually headed out of town Fridays anyway so this will actually save us some time getting out of the valley. For those that live up there now that used to live in the valley, have you noticed a big change in cost of living, utilities, insurance, etc.? The house I'm looking at is more then I'd like to spend, but if I'm saving a on the back end I can justify things a little easier. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No insight on the cost of living in Payson but good on you for getting out of this hellhole. I hate it more every day. The older i get the more i realize humans aren’t supposed to live like this. 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pwrguy Report post Posted June 7, 2021 The biggest cost of living problem has been housing. I know it has exploded in a lot of places but it seems like it is over the top up here the last few years. We are surrounded be public land so land is at a premium. Property taxes seem a little excessive to me but then I talk to all the peeps moving from the coasts and it doesn't seem that bad. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ctafoya Report post Posted June 8, 2021 I guess fire insurance would be another cost I'd have to figure in with all the Richards that don't know how to have a camp fire or not drag chains. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
