What part of NV? I moved here from Henderson back in March. Yes, having 4 dogs barking will not make you popular in residential areas- biggest complaint on the local facefuck page. I don't know about hospitals, but there are no mask mandates anywhere except public transportation. As far as I know, have not heard about clot shot mandates locally, but I would expect it would be the big national chains that have over 100 employees would be the only places that would mandate it. If you are having a home built or remodelling a fixer upper, be prepared to wait. Contractors and tradesmen are booked the fuck out and half don't respond or return phone call and email queries. I would be cautious if buying a newly built home due to the demand and speed they are cranking them out- do NOT waive inspection on new homes! Overall, people are more friendlier up here and not as asshole-ish as in klark kounty NV, but be aware that pro-biden sentiment and pro- mask/vax mandate are NOT popular sentiments up here. There is worry that too many big city good idea fairies will move up here and fuck it all up, and as a former kalifornian, I get it. I tell people first hand that we gotta keep out that blue state bullshit at all costs, I lived it and I know how much it sucks. The major thing to get used to up here is that most places actually close by 10pm and we don't have all the national brands- in the Rapid City area we have no Home Depot or Costco.
