Review of Carmel, Indiana


People
Star Rating - 9/11/2005
Carmel is an affluent community filled with expensive houses and cars. The people can be very rude (most have never worked a hard day in their lives) and apparently, turn signals and other road rules don't apply here. There is a huge problem with racial profiling by the Carmel police department (a documented fact backed up by a few lawsuits). It is unsafe for black people to be in Carmel after dark - they will definitely be pulled over. The children have no manners, way too much free time and money and absolutely no work ethic since they have no reason to work in their teen years. While the schools are good and the neighborhoods are relatively safe, raising children here is similar to raising them in a bubble which leaves them totally unprepared for the real world. The class sizes are large (my class had 670 kids in 1991, today it's more like 8 or 9 hundred). Unless your child is a sports or academic star, your child will be practically ignored - just another number.
