Don't Come Here

We have in in the Springs for nine years and now can't get out. This is year number two for trying to sell our home. There are very few really well paying jobs in this city. Intel is pulling out in August and others may follow. Our educational system can't compete with schools back east. Thirty percent of high schools grads in the State of Colorado must seek remedial help before taking regular college classes. My son has adopted the low acheiving attitude which is prevelent in so many young people in this city. Violent crime is up 31 percent in the city. Meth and Pot are everywhere contributing to the crime problem. Our son the victim of a violent home invasion in the Rockrimmon area. People think of the Springs as this very Christian Area. True that people of faith here are very active in their Churches but most people in this city are NOT in church on Sunday mornings. If I knew what I know now, I never would have come to the Springs. Major mistake trying to raise our two sons here.
