Unrealized Potential

We moved to Yuma May 2007. We absolutely love the climate. Yuma also seems to be a very friendly community. Unfortunately, Yuma has some glaring deficiencies.
The K-12 educational system is severely broken. From the administration to curricula, the school system is ill equipped to educate our children. The city and county governments seem to be nearly as derelict.
Although customer service seems to be an afterthought for most businesses and employees, there are a few outstanding exceptions.
The snowbirds bring dollars to the local economy but make travel and shopping much more difficult each winter.
Yuma has wonderful people and a wonderful climate. Unfortunately, for people who have spent many years in a town with much higher standards, it is a very frustrating place to live.
