Wife and I born and raised in Mariposa County. We left in 2017. Beautiful area, but not what it once was. Mariposa has been the recipient of several infestations. Pine bark beetle, pot growers, bay area transplants and others. Cost of living is high and you have to travel to get health care. Price (HIGH) and quality (POOR) at the grocery store is a concern. Do diligence is key when picking anywhere in California.
