Review of Merced, California


A Terrible Town To Live In!
Star Rating - 4/17/2010
Merced, CA is quite possibly the worse possible city in all of California if not for sure Central CA. Modesto, CA was voted as the worst city in CA by one magazine I can't remember the name of. Merced, CA has none of the likeable amenities like Modesto, CA with so many unlikeableness to boot. Gang crimes are the worse in the nation per capita, teen pregnancies are the worse in the nation, unemployment must be about the worst in the nation and is the worst in Central CA for sure at 21.97% as of this writing. The streets are out of a city that doesn't take care of anything but the city top brass pet projects that do not matter. The city spends millions on a multi level parking garage above and across the street from city hall spending millions while the city streets are in terrible despairingly bad condition. Graffiti is a norm in this city and in the county. You go into stores that you think you are in third world nation with all the Spanish being spoken out loud because the people are either to unintelligent to learn English or just to lazy. I like Mexicans that are respectful of other people and speak English and train their children not to run amuck in stores tearing the store up and dropping things not where they found them and the parents just look at them and say nothing as parents should. This is normal here in Merced, CA where whites are a minority. The roads have debris all in the gutters and on the sides of all outer roads and papers and trash everywhere. This is a town like nowhere I have seen not even in towns close to Merced. I just have to speak up about my disgust about this city.
