Review of Spoka,


Compared to other Areas
Star Rating - 6/10/2018
I have lived all over the country. From Seattle, WA to Kappa, Hawaii and back to Spokane, WA. Then, I moved from Spokane, WA to Tampa, FL. Finally, after living as a travel nurse (Living in Houston, TX, Tullahoma, TN, Las Cruces, NM, Hobbs, NM, Lubbock, TX, Goldsboro, NC, Idaho Falls, ID, Phoenix, AZ, etc.) my family is now back in Spokane,WA. I have read a lot of ratings about how bad Spokane is and all I can say is that there are A LOT worse places. Spokane is great for raising a family, it has great education systems (including higher education), it has great climate, and friendly people. Compared to the other places named, salaries don't even come close (Especially minimum wage). All places have their share of bad, but to say this is the worse is completely misleading. It's a beautiful place to live.

First will begin with the facts which to most normal people would be outright lies. First of all will begin with the tangibles which cannot be manipulated. In 2015 and on many typical years Spokane, as reported on the weather channel reported only 9 sunny days from Oct to Jan and this will serve as a note on the amazing ignorance of people in this region of the country. Also lets examine some of the profound ways the local authorities view the justice of the local population. Now this is not meant to hurt anyones feelings as we all know how very uneducated people often feel with faced with true analysis of facts. That being said the town is literally full of retarded individuals many of who actually have good standing in this ridiculous community. There are very few students in this city who can even do basic math, this is a fact known to me. This community elevates its population of illiterates to genius levels in several ways first of all a kid who has just completed a course in Calculus at either of the local community colleges is very likely unable to do basic addition. This is part of the communities agenda to elevate certain groups. The schools have decided to take an approach to education in which the term kind is often utiliized as in making complete idiots feel smart as they for some strange reason are literally the popular majority. Examine the fact these types are commenting here. Truth means nothing they actually believe the weather is fantastic because everything is fantastic in this mindless village. Don't get me wrong here many are treated well here and this is part of the empowerment agenda, but none who are very intelligent are treated well, they are the demons of the community as the mindlessness is so pervading that if your intelligent you may actually be in danger. The police have likely participated in the killing of 6 people in recent years on was a doctor whose body was found in the river. His wife reported locally she knew for certain the police did it and anounced out of fear for her own life she left the city. again here is your warning if you dumb enough to wax the icy pavement as one local was seen doing when I was there you think in a manner so upside down that Spokane maybe fantastic to you. But dont not forget people this mindless cant even define that word. Bert who commented previously is a local who lives in one of the many local shleters who feed the homeless and mentally ill population dead animals found on the street. You can confirm this. This is the third world and like real third world countries the inhabitants feel everything is just fine as why wouldnt it be in their minds. The poor residents who can never find work as they are fully targeted have to literally eat stir fried marmots at the local charity house. The brainwashing is so deep. They local shelters ban people as trouble makers for literally not having an ear to ear s=mile on as they attempt to eat the local cuisine. Also the locals who are from here have seen nothing else and are very incompetent in any task so this is why they love Spokane as the local authorities provide securities not available to what I will call normal people. If these locals here an accent in your voice god forbid watch out for the interview process in the local economy. The business leaders have an approach that is unlawful in the very least. The local fish house has called the police on people I personally know when they assume they are criminals because they heard an accent during the job interview and subsequently left the interview room for a moment to call the police stating, "this guy is likely robbing me at this moment". The hate for everyone who is normal and a sad but very true reality here. The police arrest adult men with no record for peeing in the park and let homosexuals have public sex without warning. These are all 100% true and valid statements about this ridiculous hell hole.Bring on the replies you local genuis' I am ready to laugh.

Unfortunately the crime rate listed doesn't even compare to what it really is i was homeless almost a year and the stuff i saw people would nearly get killed or even people would get killed but nobody would report it cause they themselves have warrants for their arrest unless your walking the streets during the night you will almost never see the violent crime and yeah theft is out there ive seen people walk up and steal people's phones from right in front of them ive had 2 bikes stolen one the person cut the lock while i was in the library on shadle and the other a person stole right off the front of the bus if people in Spokane beleive they have an opportunity to steal your stuff they are going to try
