this city is a very dangerous place to work and live. i've lived here for most of my life and it is definitely not the city it used to be when I left it in 1991. i've returned and am also in the process of leaving it again. as it is very dangerous and not like it was when i was younger. i am very old and nearing my 60s, but I remember this city being pretty laid back when I was a kid in the 70s. but even then, it was a very miserable corrupt and disorganized city back then too, compared to the rest of the USA standards. the people that live here are just confused. And most of them are angry, which is why a lot of crime happens. but the city management just doesn't care and needs crime to help reel in some extra dollars. it is a very corrupt city, so watch your back. there are very safe neighborhoods and some good people too but all in all, this is probably one of the worst cities in the USA. if you were transferred here, this place is an even bigger prison then what you just got out of. sorry to say this but this is the truth. many people from all over the USA are moving in, and you can definitely expect the crime to pick up even more. very disorderly place, not well organized at all, definitely not a very healthy society. very old roads that have not been repaved since the 1960s. they are not built for new cars, so accidents are quite common. very insane competitive city based around capitalism and work. lots of divided people, both rich and poor, white/black and everything else. very divided city
