Review of Des Moines I, Washington


Rated #5 Among Best Places to Live for a Reason
Star Rating - 10/2/2019
Google these: State of the Air Cleanest Cities ~ US News Best Places to Live ~ Heartland Hotspot: Why Millennials Are Flocking to Des Moines. And there are more for sure, but here's the thing about such comments sections anywhere: Angry hurt people are analogous to wounded dogs; they will bite! I get it! When someone or some place pisses you off, you must tell the world that -- based on your micro-experiences there -- the rest of all humanity forever must avoid the bad place & people. But everyone, every time, will have a different experience, anywhere on Earth. If you are a loving, friendly, hard-working, caring, positive person, your experiences on any square mile of Earth (anytime), will differ greatly, from a victim-centric, anger-conquered, hypersensitive, loveless, lazy, emotionally immature person. I moved to a downtown loft in DM, as an income restricted person, due to a disability. I researched based upon overall cost of living, safety, clean air, Medicaid coverage, and mobility freedom. Others will seek a spot on this blue marble for a different set of criteria (pending ones age, health and occupation). Now, I know that we old and/or disabled people are expected to commit suicide, by those who are still young & healthy, but your time is soon coming; and fast! Just wait and see. Then you will not be so willing to drop off the map, to make room for the next gen. After all, Earth is huge; if you do not like where you're at, just move until you find a spot to your liking. In the meantime, quit your embarrassing and pathetic whining about every little thing that pisses you off. Des Moines is not the sum of the people here & now; every place on Earth is just a pin on the global map; make the best of the one you're near, b/c life is really short!

You are lecturing and philosophying on life and age and peoples disposition but not one word about Des Moines. this is site to review the town. restaurants, nightlife weather. traffic 100 other quality of life issues not gov statistics which anyone can read. Your lecture should be placed in the personals columns or at a community college where they offer empty headed courses on the meaning of life.

Poor Edmond from Spring Valley, NV. Kinda made my point for me. I guess he's unaware that anyone can click on his name for a list of his comments, which are only a seething puss of vitriol & bitter hatred that clearly conquers his existence. Sad man who reviews all locations as very bad, and yet, his profile is empty, except for the nearly 200 trolling body-slams he's unleashed on this site, with not one single nice thing to say. Everyone sucks but him, and where he lives I'm guessing, which oddly he never reviewed; just every where else and everyone else. Sad man! As for DSM; moved here in Sept of 2019, and 3 months later a Pandemic began to sweep the globe. It changed my downtown location considerably due to it being an office town. I've had the place to myself {shhhh} so it's been really cool! Plus there are dedicated trails galore hall over Polk County and so I was able to continue to go out for my long rides (bike & e-scooter); with clean air I never feel uncomfortable being out. I'm an open socializer and only rarely cross paths with guys like grumpy ole Edmond. Most folk here are friendly, considerate, and positive about life and the city.
