Review of Merced, California


Getting Too Big
Star Rating - 5/16/2006
Having grown up here, we can't wait to leave. It has gotten too big. Too many people, too many cars, too many sirens, etc. It has turned into a city. We are not city folk, but small town folk. We also don't want our child to grow up being a minority.

2008 Update. Dont move here unless your are of a Mexican Immigrant and speak spanish. It is ok to speak spanish only. No need for english here. The air is bad and the politics even worse. The City council are drunks, and they make horrible decisions. Schools are old and outdates, the teachers are just there for a paycheck, classrooms are packed full, gang problems that you cant even describe in a believable manner. I cant wait to get out of here
