Stay away from Huntington

Huntington, WV use to be a great place but in the last several years has gone way down hill. The local government can't agree on anything. There is no new business and very few jobs unless you're a telemarketer. People are leaving here by the thousands yearly because they can't make a decent living. The streets need paved, the sewer and water systems are old and deteriorating, the buildings downtown are crumbling and have many vacancies and the homeless are everywhere. I've lived here my whole life and it only keeps getting worse. The city is broke and always in the red and there is never enough money to fix anything, even though they keep imposing new taxes and fees. Please stay away because it is dying a slow death and will be a ghost town before too long. It needs a stronger government.
