Nepotism cronyism and corruption has created a major decline in a once scenic safe city. In the last fifty years it has lost about three quarters of the population. Housing prices are far overvalued. Drug addicts and thieves roam the streets blatantly.
Homelessness is at record high yet the city decided to close four of the five cold weather homeless shelters.
The city council wanted to vote themselves another raise, for doing nothing.
Avoid it if possible.
Most of the populace are obnoxious and pretentious. Except the poor and homeless. They are living hand to mouth or roaming the streets.
Great place to find Meth.
Despite the federal government and state government having no money the politicos still expect some type of bailout. Meanwhile the poor and elderly are losing their homes to excessive property taxation and greedy public services.
Other than easy illegal drug access no reason to even stop for gas in this pit of a city.
