Review of Merced, California


The worst city in the USA
Star Rating - 5/8/2012
Merdead, CA is the worst city in the USA. Let me get into detail:

- The worst unemployment rate in the nation

- The highest illegal immigration rate in the nation

- The highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation

- Even with the two colleges, the "dumbest" city in the nation

- Nothing to do for fun and nowhere to shop

- Litter on every street

- Murders every day

- Bad traffic

- More expensive than SF and LA combined

- More McDonald's fast food restaurants than you can shake a stick at

- Public works fines you for garbage in the recyclable (blue) can while they have no way of knowing you did it. This has already happened to me.

That alone should say enough. I want to move to Atwater (two bowling alleys, better shopping, crime rate is a lot lower, more job opportunities, better restaurants, and everything else beyond imaginable), but I can't because this dump ran me bankrupt. I'm ashamed to even say I've set foot in this trash heap.
