Review of Pensacola, Florida


The City Is Not A Good Place To Live
Star Rating - 6/17/2021
The review of the person saying there is an infestation of drug addicts in Pensacola is correct. I guess that’s why some of the replies are attacking them for telling it like it is. Lived there for 16 years and finally just gave up on even dealing with that place. You would think with the base and beach there it would be a great family city. What a waste of potential due to them catering to the lowest common denominators.

Another thing you notice is the huge homeless problem. All around the city this can be seen. The reason is because city council uses homeless people to get more money from the state for “Mental health” programs. They actually never even spend the money on it. Guess where it goes? That’s right. They get over A Hundred Thousand Dollars for each homeless person and that is why the city is in no hurry to get rid of them and the crime that they bring.

Even the police are told to basically leave the homeless alone unless they did something really crazy that they can’t just brush under the rug because to the city the homeless are like gold since they can get state money for each of them. They even bus them in sometimes. So its big business, dont even bother calling anyone if they are causing problems, no one will care. Other cities with same issues of drugs and rampant homeless committing crimes like San Francisco CA and Austin TX also have the same scheme going with their city councils.

So yeah there is a major issue with drug addicts and homeless in Pensacola. I am glad that I moved away from there. There really are no professionals to speak of and even the ones you think are normal end up being on some kind of drugs. So it’s like the other person said, if you are normal, don’t do drugs and professional then don’t move to Pensacola or even the area because there really is a huge problem there with criminality and it being allowed.

So it seems like on here the more you tell it like it is the more people want to down vote. If you don’t believe me then waste your money and move there and find out for yourself.

So, in looking at the Panhandle, is this confined to Pensacola, or are they surrounding areas more of the same? Thank you.
