In Jaime Stathis' Defense: A recent Business Insider article notes that Jaime moved to Grass Valley, California in 2017, expecting the serenity typically associated with escaping city life. Instead, she found herself amid one of the most tumultuous periods in recent history, as the world seemed to teeter on the edge of chaos. After shooting the video that accompanies this article, I couldn’t help but reflect on those years and the weight they carried for everyone in our country. The national division that now feels almost routine was still fresh and jarring back then. We were just beginning to navigate the intense political climate that emerged with Trump’s presidency, and we hadn’t yet developed the coping mechanisms we rely on today. For someone like Jaime, new to Grass Valley and seeking a sense of home, this must have been especially disorienting. Then, just when we thought things couldn’t get more unsettling, the pandemic hit. It wasn’t just a health crisis; it was a seismic shift in how we lived our lives. Fear permeated every decision, and for many who had recently sold their homes and moved from urban areas like the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles, the pandemic turned the dream of small-town life into something far more complicated. Towns like Grass Valley and Nevada City, known for their tight-knit communities, began to change in ways that weren’t always welcoming to newcomers. The George Floyd protests further strained the fabric of our community, as they did across the country. The raw emotion and righteous anger that fueled the Black Lives Matter movement were met with resistance, even in places like Grass Valley. The peaceful protests in Nevada City, a neighboring town, were met with violence from those who felt threatened by calls for justice. It was shocking to witness such behavior in our community, and it left many feeling unsafe. Nobody wants violence in their town. A few days ago, I found myself at the Thirsty Barrel, enjoying a delicious Korean steak taco with a friend who has called Grass Valley home for over 25 years. She’s seen the town through its highs and lows, but she told me that nothing compares to the period from 2017 to 2021. “It was the worst of times,” she said, recounting stories that echoed my own memories of those years. Displaced residents from the Paradise fire descended on Grass Valley, bringing with them harrowing stories of loss and survival. The trauma they carried was palpable; it was in the air, almost as thick as the smoke itself. Then there were the motorcades—monster trucks flying Trump flags, parading through our streets like an ominous reminder of the division that had taken root. My friend and her neighbors banded together to protect themselves from the intimidation that these displays brought. It was a terrifying time, one that left many feeling unsafe in their own homes. Jaime, you encountered Grass Valley at its absolute worst. I can relate; my own home search led me to towns like Sonora, where similar tensions were on full display. This was a pattern repeated across California, and indeed, across the country. I hope you’ve since found a place where you feel safe, where you can truly settle in and call home. I want you to know that your experience and the challenges you faced are understood and validated. I made the move to Grass Valley from San Francisco in 2023, sidestepping the chaos that Jaime experienced. With my best friend here, I had been visiting for years and knew Grass Valley and Nevada City offered something special. The Nevada County real estate market was far more forgiving than what I could find in the Bay Area, or even in other mountainous regions like the Santa Cruz Mountains or West County Sonoma. And it delivered. According to Zillow, my beautiful, spacious, custom home on four flat, park-like acres in either Felton or Guerneville, California, would be valued at around $2,500,000. Yet, we paid the price of a two-bedroom condo in Oakland for all this serenity. And if I miss my favorite Ethiopian restaurant (Enssaro), I can drive to it in less than two and a half hours if I time it right. Moving to Grass Valley has been the best decision I’ve ever made—it’s more than just a place to live; it’s a peaceful retreat that offers a quality and ease of life that’s simply unmatched.
