Review of Greenville, South Carolina


Ok place to live, terrible traffic
Star Rating - 5/6/2015
I like living in Greenville. The atmosphere downtown is trendy.
The problem is that too many people are flooding in to live here, and the city is not keeping up.
The roads are primitive, and at rush hour they clog horribly.
Another problem is that the traffic enforcement, especially in Mauldin, seems out to bully
drivers, but it's really the city's fault for not taking care of what it's citizens need by
maintaining proper and safe roads. They have school busses stoping on unsafe roads (Mauldin), and if there is
an accident during rush hour the world stands still. For a long time.

What is great here is the local hiking adventures at Paris Mountain and the nearby NC mountains.
Great for families. You just have to be a patient person to put up with some sketchy, Mayberry ticket writing, politics and
bad traffic.
