The City will rob you blind

I've lived here for over 20 yrs mostly due to a divorce decree by a judge that later resigned to keep from being impeached for taking bribes. The property taxes are lower due to the fact that the natives here own alot of property and they don't want to pay for it. But they charge higher sales tax on everything including food and medicine than even the other nearby and bigger city's. There is nothing to do here-no amenities of any kind because that would take money out of the pockets of the corrupt city council-all of which leave there positions wealthy regarless of their circumstances when they got the position. The police are completely corrupt and unless you are among the wealthiest natives here theives can rob you blind and they won't do anything about it. The people are not friendly unless you like people that smile at your face and stab you in the back when you turn around. You will be highly disappointed if you come here unless your idea of a good time is staying locked in your house with the garage door closed like the cops told my neighbor after she was robbed "so the thieves won't know if your home or not". Next time maybe the will come in while she's there and she can lose her life. Thanks guys!
