WHAT THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER REPORTS

-
4/7/2019
This is not my first review but will probably be my last. My last reviews received many "disagree" which is shocking since everything I wrote was based on first hand experience. How can someone disagree with something that is true. (Ignorance?) So I thought I would try another approach by stating some issues covered by the local newspaper in the past year. Junkies are shooting up in the public library and they put in blue lights. (Anybody else thinks this is incredibly stupid and not a solution?) 77,000 pounds of debris has been removed the parks/rivers, etc. 500 abandoned houses. High crime especially property crime. High homelessness. The city of Spokane just spent $500,000 on a marketing campaign. How is that not just plain "stupid"? Why not use that money to clean up the trash? More first hand experience: sales clerk at Nordstrom told me she found a used needle in the restroom. Amazon jobs that are coming are low paying jobs. Come see for yourself - ride down Francis, Monroe, Maple and the freeway to see nastiness, dilapidated fences, mattresses, washing machines, etc. in front lawns, etc. Lots of run down trailer parks, etc. It appears that people that respond favorably to Spokane are from OR or CA which are the same or worse than WA state. Maybe they just do not know that people in other cities DO NOT live with such trash and certainly do not support it if they do. Why don't residents do something about it? So what good is having a beautiful state if the people that live here trash it. WA, OR and CA are all liberal states and many of their cities are "sh**t holes. Standards are VERY low here on all levels. White Trash - that's it. Anybody that disagrees with this has never experienced otherwise or they are smoking dope. There are so many beautiful, clean and low crimes cities/areas in the US. If you have a choice I would not move here. I am only here part time and can't wait to be gone for good.
