Review of Springfield, Missouri


Meth labs
Star Rating - 7/6/2006
I don't live in Springfield, MO, but I have been there a few times. I love to visit there and I am actually considering moving to. I do realize that Springfield, MO has a bad reputation for having meth labs, however, I am in KC, MO right now and we have our crime too. There are so many murders here and new gang infiltration, that I want out. So, it's off to Springfield I go in a few months. I would rather deal with a few meth labs then drive bys anyday! There is no perfect place, but maybe a smaller suburb of Springfield, say Nixa, Republic or Ozark would be better!?! Maybe those areas would not have the meth problem like Springfield.

Unfortunately, when it comes to drug use, you run about the same risk of living close to a meth lab in Republic, Nixa, Ozark, Willard, etc. as you do in Springfield. But you are right, the crime rate in Springfield is much lower (and, I believe, much less random) than it is in KC.
