I can't get out of here fast enough

I agree with firehart who wrote previously. I have lived here for 20 years and remember when we truly didn't have to lock our doors. Now I have to be mindful of my surroundings all the time and I fear the criminal element that has come into the area. What I would like to add is the miserable state of our public schools. Before you move here, read the statistics regarding free lunches and breakfasts, number of students requiring English language instruction, and research the safety of your children. Look at the test scores. Look at our property tax and building fees that support our lousy schools. It has already been discussed that housing has become expensive. But there aren't any local jobs that pay enough to afford this. I'm plannng my escape soon. It's just too hot in the summer to put up with what this awful place has become.
