Humboldt County is REALLY TERRIBLE. It's driving m
Let me say that I am looking for a job currently in a city that has A 10% UNEMPLOYMENT RATE. National average is like 8%. No joke.
Then the meth heads. Prostitutes. Today I ran into a schizoid who was having a debate with himself in the middle of the street on Broadway. Bayshore mall is both ugly and pathetic. We have like 20+ stores here and they are all TINY AND DILAPIDATED. No jobs, nothing to do, and TONS of drugs. Rains most of the year. I hate that the most. I hate Humboldt in general. The drug use is insane. If you don't do drugs you pretty much have no friends. Time goes SO SLOW in this place. Waiting 20 minutes for the bus seems like it takes hours. Being in this place for 10+ years as I have will drive you *insane.* DON'T COME HERE. Nobody does anything else except drugs. The real estate is overpriced. How can anyone afford this crap? Heck I have seen a tiny home with like 2 bedrooms sell for 400,000$ The Public education system is an embarrassment.
The Redwoods aren't all the great. Heck going to the forest when it rains most of the year is pointless because you can't enjoy the scenery BECAUSE OF THAT RAIN.
The Consumer service consists of the same strung out and uncaring meth heads in every store. A costco manager that talks down to me like I'm a dog. I talked to a bus driver that treated her job like a chore. Had the worst attitude I have ever seen. Nobody cares about their jobs or even waking up. Do they even try?
The trains have been decommissioned. This place is slowly turning into a hermit crab nation. Eventually it will be closed off. No airports except in Arcata. Seriously there are only TWO ways out of this place. If we want people to come to Humboldt we need to at least open up the trains. Then the timber industry, once a prominent force in Humboldt, now dried up and outsourced to China. Nothing is left except dust, echos, and some random schizoid debating himself on Broadway.
*I REPEAT DON'T COME HERE*
