Review of Jacksonville, Florida


Jacksonville Fl. smells bad, the water is bad and
Star Rating - 1/29/2007
Of all the places I've lived, I can honestly say the Jacksonville and the surrounding area was the worst! I found the area to be unlivable. Traffic is a nightmare, medical is below average,the air smells like a toxic waste land and the drinking water(if you can call it that) isn't fit for toilet flushing. Jacksonville has a lot of cancer issues, polluted waters and superfund sites. The weather is HOT and HUMID without the lovely trade winds that one associates with Florida. Rattlesnakes, cottonmouths and coral snakes are common, as well as gators. Oh, and be prepared to live with bugs, lots and lots of bugs, termites,giant roaches, spiders,& scorpions just to name a few. The housing looks nice but after three homes I can honestly tell you, they are all built like garbage, no matter how much you spend. I spent over 500,000 on the last one. GARBAGE! I found the city to be all about appearances, the people too, very pretentious and over the top competetive. The education system is the biggest joke of all. I found that to be all about "white flight". I've never seen so many people judge a particular school by the amount of minorities it has. It's ridiculous. The city is very racially divided and backwards. Think really hard about how much you value your health before moving to this city

Jacksonville is a morally bankrupt, racist, and every unethical city. what you are witnessing as far as poverty and disease is an underlying current fostered by city officials judges and good ol boys in law enforcement the klu klux klan if you will, and when you have a bunch of ignorant racists, you will have a social decay, they destroy everything they touch with their stupid interference, you can not appeal to their sense of right or wrong, if you are black or are of color you do not get a fair shake, and when you have biggots and liars running the city into the ground it will have an impact on trades, housing and governent funding. they cause a moral decay, more women turn up dead in jacksonville than any other city, and these crimes usually go unaccounted for, if your child is gifted, and BLACK they immediately seek government funding to kidnap your black child have him or her labeled and they take money to put them on a bunch of experimental medications. Most of these idiots have gotten themselves morally executed for a bunch of different reasons. but as long as washington turns their back on the illegal trades, the snuff and the execution and rapes of minority children, then you will have and continue to have a social and economic decay. the blacks here have understood you can't fight the redneck city hall mentally and the sense of hopelessness, and helplessness, gives way to violence, and anger. The truth is is that the people responsible for the deaths of hundreds of blacks a year through a health care system that takes money to butcher black woman and children will only result in a violent end for all involved. The Geneva Convention will kick into effect here one day, and they will find themselves under martial law, and taking advice from a roaming national gaurd, it is much more serious with jacksonville than they want to admit but decades of hiding lie after lie, is coming home to roost in an international fight. Ask the duval county courthouse what they had to do with 09/11. I bet they won't respond.
