There's the bad... constant unrelenting winds, extended cold weather (long winters - short summers). Remote (some people go nuts from boredom -personally, I don't know 'how' to be bored) Highly subjective. 'Outdoorsy' people don't get bored. High alcoholism and suicide rates ( I think this is mostly because of the inclusion of reservation populations), the Indian reservations here are our version of 'slums.' Weed is not - nor will it ever be 'legal.' Any kind of substantial career/work is difficult to find within a realistic commute. Most of the work is seasonal. (Not a problem if a remote worker).
The good... most people (Outside of a few liberal enclaves - Jackson, Lander... to name two off-hand) are sane, conservative, religious and extremely patriotic. We're probably more 'MAGA' than Texas. Too cold for a homeless population. Too cold for a migrant population (we have some migrant Hispanics - but they're 'our' migrant Hispanics - mind your own damned business. Best fly fishing in the lower 48. Most people might seem dour, or stand-offish -but you'll find them to have golden hearts, helpful, civic-minded and loyal, but they're also stubborn and pathologically independent.
It's a rugged place to live.
I will never live anywhere else.
