Springfield is not a great place to live.

Springfield has bad weather- cold and long winters. Hot and very humid summers usually.It rains alot which farmers like but if you don't farm it's too much.Less than national average sunny days.Crime index is over double the national average.Lots of racial issues and problems even in the police force.Public schools are hostile and often have problems involving race.High volume of white flight so problem isn't going to get better.Utilities are higher than national average. Housing used to be somewhat cheap but not anymore.At least anywhere you would feel safe.The town and surrounding area is very ugly geographicly.It is flat with no moutains-hills-lakes-oceans or anything close to being scenically beautiful.
