Lake Elsinore Blows! Posted On: 4/9/2007 1:19:10 PM

My wife and I have lived here for 9 years and all we can say is IT SUCKS! The heat in the summer is unbearable and thanks to Southern California Edison and this area being one of the highest electricity tiers, our monthly electric bills in the summer average $600+(PER MONTH) and it's just the two of us. We finally got a local shopping area after nine years and still don't have any decent restaurants and are over-run with fast food which the residents seem to love. Upper scale restaurants have tried it here and failed because no one wants to pay more than $6.95 for dinner. I was in Texas and the waitress said, "Oh you live in Lake "Smells some more". I can't even get away from it in Texas! They are trying to rehab the lake but it still stinks and many people cringe at the thought of putting their boat in the water. You would think with the lake being the main and only attraction they would focus more efforts on clean-up and actually allowing nice homes to be built on the lake but that will never happen! God forbid they pave a road. The roads are absolutely horrible and paving on the most highly traveled roads is non-existent rattling your car to it's core. A lot of the city is old and dumpy and there isn't much indication of those areas getting better any time soon. All said and done, it's hot as hell, boring as hell, and it wouldn't hurt for immigration to get over here and clear out all the illegals! But that won't happen because half of the city would be wiped out! If you like hang gliding and sky diving we are world renound for those but I would much rather drive to Lake Elsinore for those attractions than live here. What an armpit!
