Springfield is run down...
I moved to this beautiful area recently and I was very disappointed. There is trash on the streets and highway as you come in to The Northern part of Springfield and homeless wander all throughout the city. It isn't too bad in the rural areas, on the most part most places are neat and show pride of ownership. It seems a lack of pride has crept into most of the city in places, except in the more affluent areas. In many areas there is clutter in the yards, grass not mown and many houses deteriorating. Even in some of the 'nicer' areas I was surprised at very little show of pride... I don't understand it, you don't need extravagant landscaping; neatness and mowing your grass takes very little effort. I am just so disappointed... the crime statistics are a little frightening. For the first time in my life when I drive through a city, I feel more comfortable locking my doors.
