Bishop Reviews
Rating 4.13 out of 5 16 reviews
The best thing about Bishop is its location in the beautiful Owens Valley, which looks the way it does because of the multiple agency land ownership that keeps it from being developed. There are two groups of people: the people who were born here and the people who moved here, "the outsiders." There are 600 or so properties that can be sold in this area. Social standing and money determine who gets to live here. There are few local contractors. There is no enforcement or protection for those who are subjected to poor contractual work and no enforcement. High rate of failed marriages, alcoholism, drug use, interpersonal hate and violence. However, it is the beauty of the mountains that makes this place what it is. You go to the mountains to find your solace. It is the most beautiful place in the world, in my book. The local people want your money and then they want you to leave.
I've lived in Bishop all my life and it's a very cozy and friendly town. Everybody practically knows each other and it's a healthy and amazing community.
I love Bishop, Ca. Bishop is my hometown and I couldn't be more thankful for all of the years I've spent there. The mountains and wildlife are beautiful and offer numerous activities for fun. I also love getting to drink tap water because most water is full of iron or other chemicals. Bishop is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to raise their children in a safe environment.
