DREADFUL PLACE

12/12/2014
Worst drivers in the world. Accidents and deaths almost every day in the quad-city area! High % of elderly who can't even drive or park between the lines - - get in the fast lane and drive 5-30 MPH UNDER the speed limit. Very high % of alcohol drinkers and smokers. Dogs and their poop everywhere.
You need to know that there are more than 160 "recovery" (from alcohol/drug addiction) and half-way houses in the town. One of 30 beds occupied in Prescott is in one of these places. Only 2-3 of these people will make it to 3 years without relapsing! Many homeless people and people begging for money all over town.
One of the "treatment" places charges #30,000 per month. Old people vote against any legislation to help schools. Two elementary schools are closing very soon. Can't imagine why anyone would want to raise their children here!
Many people who have lived here all their lives and have had the same job are in total denial about this town.
Rental rates and deposits are unbelievably high here and decent jobs are impossible to fine. I've met more bosses and business owners who lie, drink or use drugs at work, pay minimum wages, or no wages at all than I have run into in Phoenix and Tucson together!
The police can't keep up with all the crimes committed, because their aren't enough of them. The turnover of City employees is above 17%.
Yes, I'm leaving as soon as a good job is located elsewhere.
P.S. Don't move here especially during Holiday Season, because that's when all the druggies will relapse and in Jan. this town will be filled with just tons more of them!
