City of Mesquite has no regard for resident safety - 8/4/2019
The City of Mesquite, TX has a big problem with overlooking serious problems involving safety of the roads and drunk drivers.
There has been numerous accidents and property damage at the corner of Motley and Oates. On this corner sits a apartment complex that has seen far too many accidents to count. These accidents have resulted in damages to landscaping, buildings, signs, fences and vehicles. There are no safety prevention barriers along the sides of the streets here.
The accidents are mainly due to this street being a curve that drivers feel they can speed around with no consequences. When it rains it makes a recipe for disaster. Drivers slide, spin and bounce off curbs and over medians. Some fly into the parking lot of the apartments. Even when there has not been rain there are drivers going way over the speed limit and have lost control of their vehicles. Resulting in more damages to property.
Now add in drunk drivers that miss the curve completely and run into

Too far of a distance!! - 9/22/2014
Everything is soooo spaced out which I hate the most coming from the Midwest where everything is about 15-20 minutes away. I live in Mesquite which is where people with "low finances" are. There is no public transportation close by and no recreations close by. You must have a car to live here. Nicer areas are in North Texas or on the way to North Texas, but its still more like the suburbs nearly everywhere you go. Even the "inner city" really isn't that attractive as far as recreation and activities go in my opinion. Texas gets extremely hot in the summer times which is horrible! I lived here for a little over 2 years now and I have to say it is not all that great as some people parade about. No disrespect to Texans

Mesquite - Who Cares? - 5/10/2009
Mesquite, TX will not even enforce their own documented travel policies against violators consisting of some former and current (2009) council and staff. Although notified in 2005 of a possible irregularity, it took the recent release of an SEC investigation of their bond firm to force repayment of travel & entertainment of family members and extended duration the members forced the company to accept on their behalf and treat as expenses of the sale of bonds. Just perform a search on "mesquite tx council travel". The citizenry was so engaged, they just reelected the Mayor and a councilmember who were required to

Lived in Mesquite for 6 years-no problems - 9/10/2008
I kindly disagree with the Australian writer. I have lived in Austin, San Antonio, San Marcos, Georgetown, Dallas and New York City. My neighborhood is VERY safe, in fact, I feel safer in Mesquite than any of the above cities. My neighborhood is composed of police officer, bankers, medical professionals, pilots, small business owners and school teachers. I can walk my dogs in my neighborhood at 2 a.m. and feel completely safe unlike any of the above mentioned cities. I have the best neighbors as well.
I haven't found any problem with the air quality--Dallas and Austin are SO much worse.
Mesquite is composed of unpretentious, hard-working Americans. I feel it a good place to live.

Not the safest place - 6/8/2006
We recently moved from Mesquite, TX to Newcastle, Australia for a year or more. We enjoyed the proximity to work and recreation in Mesquite, but felt uncomfortable with the amount of crime in the area. There are pockets of medium to high value houses in the area that are surrounded by low value houses which means that crime is not confined to a specific area of the city. We were also really turned off by the excessive power that the property management holds for certain housing areas, specifically
