Very unhappy with Longview
-
2/5/2011
The schools are substandard. Bullying is part of the culture, not only in the schools, but in the work places. The good jobs are 'hidden' - you have to know someone to get in. The churches are a religious racket and a social club. I really miss being part of a good church, but I have given up. The politics is 'old boy' and people will not accept good changes. The University and hospitals and medical care are many years behind the times. I have been unemployed and underemployed since moving to the E Texas area 25 years ago. My kids have left for these same reasons and will never return. I am too old to leave and start over elsewhere. Moving here from DFW was the worst decision I have ever made. And, every time I find a friend I can relate to, they move because of the culture, employment, and schools and politics.
