Pontiac is a terrible place to live!!

Lived here from 1979-1998 and the schools are terrible, the future is dim and the crime, poverty and attitude is all so bad that I would not move back here to raise my family if someone paid me!!!. But Im sure no one moves to Pontiac by choice, however if you do the northside is preferable. The schools are so bad once you get into middle school/ high school that if you can ship your kids out, I would. Waterford used to be such a nice city, but its becoming more and more like Pontiac, so think of choosing Clarkston, or Rochester or Bloomfield Hills schools if possible. If you have any issues with racism, do not move here, there is a huge melting pot of whites, blacks and mexicans and you better be tolerant of all races or else youll be in some trouble getting along here. Stay away from the Southwest neighborhoods which are just like being in the D, really... There are prositutes that cruise Baldwin ave, there are hardly an cops in the city, there are shootings and murders all over the place.. Pontiac sucks.. but at least if your raised there, you`ll be tolerant, real, have some street smarts and not be stuck up because youve lived the hard life, the ghetto life and will appreciate living in other places more than the folks that grew up in nice areas with no big problems.
