No, it's not that bad. It's definitely more crime than Erie is used to, but that's any city in the US these days.

I agree it's not that bad. The media play up those stories to get banner headlines. Sure, we have crime. So does every other city. But Erie has a heart as big as an elephant and then some. If it wasn't for local charity and support - I'd have left years ago. I havn't. Erie has HUGE potential and needs both a city council and a county board that can see that! They need to stop hitting property owners for revenue and start developing and harvesting TOURISM dollars. If you don't sell your sites, don't sell out your residents. I love Erie, and I'm sick of hearing anti-Erie rubbish. And I came here from Australia. This town has as much potential as Florida or Colorado combined. Let's make it happen?

I wish Erie had a nice bigger population.

Who's with me on a Renew Erie Everywhere project?

All the money comes from the taxpayers...IT'S OUR MONEY. THAT'S how they're tied together...
