Fayetteville is far worse than she describes. Her view is from a transient person with no skin in the game so to speak. She is a visitor (Military) so to speak, not a citizen. She fails to mention that the city had to do a reassessment of home values in Fayetteville and had to lower taxes because the assessment found that the home values had plummeted in Fayetteville. If you take into account inflation, the realization is even worse. I had a rental home that I couldn't even charge the cost of the mortgage, I lost $150 a month for three years. I then sold the house taking a loss. The school system parallels the home values... plummeting. With less tax dollars coming in per home there are less tax dollars available to the schools... which are some of the worse in the United States. It's a joke when people say Fayetteville schools are good, just look at Jack Britt its a great high-school. One, while Jack Britt is the best in FV, that is like saying your the smartest dummy. Two... not every kid can go to Jack Britt. Three, while being good for FV, just look at their national standing... not so good now is it? As far as the ghetto drivers, when my rear view mirror isn't rattling from the bass from the car next to me, I'm being cut off, or tail gated. I've been hit three times here, I've had my home broken into three times and had my truck stolen from my drive way. I live in a good neighborhood too. The only jobs are minimum wage. There is a serious brain drain here. The smartest ones move to the Triangle Area or Charlotte where the good jobs are. Don't move here. Chris
