Review of Indianapolis, Indiana


Large City but ran very small
Star Rating - 2/26/2014
Indianapolis is a large city but governed as if it is a very small town. Many times the city was closed because of weather conditions. Not clearing streets or highways. No reliable public transportation. When you speak with people who are natives of Indianapolis many do not see it as a large growing city needing public transportation or advancing like a larger city. People from here want to keep it small. It lacks diversity. Also many times people from here see diversity as how people think only but not necessarily culture differences. Many young people leave and do not come back. With this said, great sport teams and great place to raise your children. Being an African American, we do not plan on staying because of the lack of opportunities and growth. Also, I'm originally from a larger area and I enjoy public transportation and living in a busy city. Diversity is important.

I agree with your comments. It seems like they don't like to or can't afford to spend money on things that make up a real city, like taking care of roads, and having public transportation infrastructure. Until there is a decent transportation infrastructure, it will always be a 2nd or 3rd rate city unfortunately.
