Respectfully disagree. Seeing people live in hotels and parks is good neighborhood quality? Not in my opinion.

Temp housing meaning, they come in and "buy" or "lease" a local hotel for a month or so or however long. Not to build something.

While the internet has made is easier to move with forums like this. It is still hard. What once person says is a good neighborhood, another wouldn't live there is the house was given to them.

Do you have any pics you would care to share of your area? Would love to see them.

You didn't answer on the hourly?

When I say people are living in the parks, I'm talking about RV parks. Quality? I'd say it was pretty good. Some of those RV's are in excess of $100,000. As far as living there for "Good neighborhood quality, yes it is." But what I was talking about is what happens after they leave? If the city built 1500 homes to house people and next year the boom drops out, we'll have 1500 empty houses. If they were built as temp housing and cheap, then we'll have the makings of a ghetto. It will also drive the prices into the dirt.

That's what they're doing is leasing/renting hotels by the month. Some are covered by the company, some the person pays and the company reimburses.

Lots of pictures of Sheridan in the Picture thread.

When the local kids are making $10 an hour and a company moved in and offers $25 an hour with no experience, then yes, the wages are good. The mean wage can be found right here on City Data if you look at the City of Sheridan on the home page. I believe the mean wage is $42K.

I've lived in a energy boom area most of my life. The unfortunate part of a city building temp homes is that they build it as a subdivision. Not a house here and a house there, but 50-60 houses in one area. That's the makings for trouble if their cheaply made.

OH! That's a big difference. I feel better.

That's good. The avg. person makes $25hr there. Pretty good jobs there then. Nice to hear.

What would you recommend for lake living, but close enough for wife to drive to the stores and shop. She is a city girl and I am a small town boy
