Review of Eureka Califor, Iowa


Dreadful place
Star Rating - 7/4/2021
I lived here 7 years and moved away a year ago. Crime and homelessness was really bad. Public funds which should be used to improve infrastructure somehow disappeared. The water quality was really poor. Tap water smelled awful. Nuclear rods from the old powerplant were supposed to be removed decades ago from the bay. Now the local government is claiming some are missing. Dioxins from the old pulp mill contaminate the bay. Juvenile cancer rates are really high. Unfortunately, racism is embedded in the culture. Not a single judge or government leader was a minority. Health care is horrendous. I'm so happy to get away from Eureka.

Thank you for countering this "Dreadful Place" review with facts. I am looking for accurate information about various places and I appreciate you taking the time to call out people with malicious and selfish agendas.

The following quotations are 7 false claims made by another user. If the claims are false they are false. Didn't you just say: "these techniques are meant to minimize the impact of potentially inaccurate or erroneous data" The review is filled with inaccurate and erroneous data. Unless you have some sort of documentation that these 6 claims are accurate, it should be removed. *"Public funds for infrastructure somehow disappear" *"Tap water was poor quality" ( That would need to be comparative to some sort of average ) *"The nuclear rods from the old power plant should have been removed decades ago" ( It is not located within city limits therefore making that claim immediately false. And removing rods from decommissioned power plants is only an option if the US opens a permanent storage facility, which the US has promised to do for decades, it is not the decision of the City. Also the unaccounted for rods were found in the pool and went went into dry casks years ago during decommissioning.) *"Dioxins from the old pulp mill contaminate the bay". (I'm aware that they monitor old mill sites because of contamination, but I am unaware of pollution in the bay, but I'm sure if it was a safety issue they would close the beaches on that area) *Juvenile cancer rates are really high. *"racism is embedded in the culture" *"Not a single judge or government leader was a minority" None of these statements are even remotely accurate. And you've posted this same copy and pasted review on different sites, seemingly motivated to bring the increasingly popular real estate market here down. It says your name is Ray, coincidentally I know a Ray that lives in Eureka and is a real estate investor who goes on and on about how he is waiting for the real estate market to go down so he can buy houses here. Maybe you're that same Ray, maybe you aren't. But you're statements are misleading and fallacious.
