No Jobs, High Crime & Racial Tension what’s not to

9/8/2009
I think it’s funny that most of the people saying Akron isn’t that bad don’t live there.
The surrounding areas have nice schools and low crime. Hudson, Tallmadge, C. Falls, or Stow are all decent areas. After living in Akron my whole life and watching it fall apart and get worse by the day I was finally able to move my family out. If you do move there I would recommend buying a gun.
I can’t say enough about how bad the crime in Akron is. The hospital I worked at received about 3 gunshot wounds a week and we are only one of 3 trauma centers equipped to deal with them. That’s not including the ones that died on the scene. For a city with less than 250,000 that is ridiculous.
Racial tension is high. By that I mean that the blacks really mess with the whites. I’m sure I will be called a racist for saying that. If you’re a white family and you send your kids to public schools they will be in tons of fights. The school will ignore it.
There are no jobs in Akron. The public schools are horrible. The violent crime is high.
