Savannah, GA
Bad Idea to Move Here! -
7/9/2006We've lived in Savannah for 3 months now and have had the displeasure of finding out several unexpected issues that have made us rethink our decision to move here.
- services you recieve here from fast food reasturaunts to business representatives is pittiful and disappointing.
-Property Crime and violent Crime is astounding and it's sad to see how young most affenders are.
-Racial issues are alive and strong here. No matter how you treat people you will always be treated according to your race.
-Taxes for anything are outrageos and property prices are ridiculous!
-Yes, there are plenty of things to do here but you'll waste all day looking for a parking spot oh and pay a fortune for a space when you find one. No one tells you Savannah is a walking city or that with crime as it is you really don't want to walk anywhere especially not alone.
We are southerners and in our business, familiar with southern hospitality. We thought Savannah would be the perfect place for us but I have yet to be impressed with any southern hospitality even the hospitality you expect to pay for.
I'm thinking Savannah was a bad place to move to. I'm already wanting out. Sad to report this to anyone, but if your considering a move here and have a family, consider somewhere else!
Lake City, FL
Where everybody knows your name -
2/8/2006Lake City has a wonderful small town feel. People smile, say hello and generally are very nice. It's very "country" and down home like, but it's also a growing commercial area and new businesses are always welcome. Lake City is 45 minutes from Gainesville (home of the University of Florida) and 45 minutes from Jacksonville. Beaches are about an hour east (to the Atlantic) or west (to the Gulf) and this area has the best natural springs around. Property crime rates are high but it's generally confined to certain pockets of town. Housing is very affordable.
