2/8/2024This is about the lower crime in Wilmington, NC. I have been living in Wilmington, NC for the past year. I love Wilmington, but the crime is terrible down here. I am constantly getting notifications on my Ring app regarding crime. Gunshots all the time and violent crimes. The people are very friendly and the scenery is beautiful but just a heads up that the crime is very very bad here.
Durango, CO
Great place to visit but not live! -
11/7/2013I have lived in Durango for 6 years. I moved here with great expectations but unfortunately my time here is done! Durango is one of the most beautiful places in the country, however the quality of life here is very hard. It is very expensive and very cliquish. A bag of groceries here is over $50 dollars and it is impossible to save money living here. Shopping is horrible and you have to drive great distances if you want to buy something descent at a reasonable price. I have several degrees and consider myself very qualified but never got a job; You have to know someone it order to work. The people here are very friendly but thats about all it has to offer. Everyone keeps to themselves unless you are in their clique which consists mainly cyclists. If you don't cycle here then you pretty much an outcast; Its pretty annoying actually. Durango is a little utopian world where people don't know what is going on except cycling, backcountry skiing/snowboarding/and smoking marijuana. If you are single I would highly disregard this place unless you want to find a peter pan that lives paycheck to paycheck. They work 3 jobs to spend on a $10,000 on a bike, have 4 roommates, no savings, or insurance. If you are a professional and single then this place isn't for you!
