Oh TrevorJ, I would like some of those local Sioux City drugs your sniffing.....on a scale of 1-10, SUX rates in at a whopping 3.
Safe ?: 5 murders this year alone (its February) High property taxes, horrible roads, low wage jobs, teenage pregnancy, gangs, serious drug problems.... Great housing prices - poor values - no resale increase SUX has its time in the mid to late 90's, grew well in the early 2000's, but has been dying off ever since. Colleges are over the top expensive while the education is marginal at best. No real world recognition of those colleges with any good favor. The kids can play in the yard and feel safe most of the time, but that is changing fast and in just a few years its going to begin to resemble the likes of inner city chicago with poor quality of living, the majority of population just earning enough to make it and drinking away their troubles.....if you can leave now |

Clint_Noname:<quote>Sioux City is not crime-ridden by any standard. The violent crime rate is only slightly above the U.S. average. And you say that Omaha, NE is a better place to live...in actuality, it had a higher violent crime rate than Sioux City in 2006.
Sioux City isn't really a great place to raise a family, though...the schools are poor and the city has a dirty feel to it.<!quote> (I guess if your OK with raising your kids in poor schools with a dirty feel, you'll get along just fine, my kids deserve a better opportunity) Dude, this is 2008...the crime rate in SUX is always reported at the end of winter when the numbers are down and the data is skewed just like the data from Mercy as the Heart Center of the world.....they used constructed numbers....I know, I was very close to the people that published the reports. |

one of the highest teenage PG rates per capita in the nation.....20/20 about 2 years ago. Thats 5 murders this year.....2008...total of 52 days. While this number is small compared to other big populous areas, SUX is holding it own right now.....

I understand that the city was hit very hard in the 1970s and 1980s with the decline of manufacturing. I think the city is doing better and looks better now than it did in the early 1990s and is more progressive. In the past 30 years, the city has lost ground to Sioux Falls. Sioux City is around 80,000-85,000 people in it is limits and the area is growing more in its nearby cities, while Sioux Falls is 150,000-155,000 within its limits with nearby cities growing at robust rates. I think that Sioux City would progress more if it teamed up with Sioux Falls on regional issues and regional economic development.
