Corruption Rules
-
7/8/2018
Corruption is the rule, not the exception in St. George. From the city government to the college to the school district to the absolute lack of any separation between church and state, problems are everywhere here. It is nice it doesn't snow, however, when your children are out of school for the summer (and have the most time and need to be outside) the weather is far too hot and dangerous for them to play outside. There are a lack of any kind of jobs or industry in the area, and the limites jobs there are pay very low, even compared to the rest of Utah. Aside from hiking and plays, not much else to do. This area loves chains and there's lots of them. Vegas is a nice distance if you need an airport (St. George's is a joke). It may be a lovely place to sit in a rocker and crochet, but I would not chose to raise a family here again. If you are an avid cyclist, hiker or climber, it may be a good spot too. Otherwise, just take a vacation to see everything. Zion is neat and so is the North Rim and Snow Canyon. The downtown district is a bust. They just can't get it right. Doc Utah is fun. Shopping is pretty limited. Amazon will save you. Seasonal allergies are shockingly bad here. Not sure why that is. Unfortunately they are the worst during the limited comfortable weather. There are a lot of "almosts" here. But really it is just disappointing all around.
