Review of Carmel, Indiana


Carmel Police State
Star Rating - 3/24/2006
I would agree with the comments about the sheltered life and lack of work ethic. This is not a friendly community. I have lived in the area for a few years and work directly with the public in the city and I can't figure out the people who live here. The main point of their life is living a very safe life, threfore the place is quite boring. I don't know what the police to citizen ratio is...but it seems that there are police everywhere. In fact the lack of warmth in the community is enforced by the threat of being pulled over whenever you leave your home. Of course city hall is a palace (lots of revenue from police tickets!).
On a positive note the place is affluent which means it is quiet, safe and there is access to relatively good shopping within a few miles and a well- stocked library. The information about black people is a bit overstated I would guess. I don't think anyone is above suspicion, although the place is very homogenous. The place is crawling with families of average intelligence with spoiled children. The adults have a knack for making money and then walling themselves off from the world and crying when they don’t get what they want. What a waste of space.
