It seems like the only people who say this are ones who have only lived in Pueblo. I have lived all over the country, and Pueblo is by far the worst. I actually moved here from Youngstown, Ohio. Youngstown the heart of the rust belt, and is well known for being a city that has seen better times. Pueblo is so much worse. I actually believe other reviewers who have said city council *wants* it to be this way, because it is too bad to believe sometimes. I am not exaggerating when I say at least 50% of the chain-link fences are falling down. There is trash all over. Stray cats and dogs roam the streets. The people are some of the rudest I've ever come in contact with. Seriously, what is up with Pueblo's attitude? Housing is so overvalued it's hard to keep a straight face. Utilities are way too expensive. In my experience, even the fast food and chain restaurants are worse in here. 30 minute waits EVERY TIME at EVERY TACO BELL. I think that is partly due to the terrible attitude that seems to have been nurtured and cultivated down here. I am thankfully closing on a house in Colorado Springs this week. I will try to forget the 1.5 years I mistakenly spent in Pueblo, as I would rather drive an hour to work every day than continue living in this depressing wasteland. Maybe if the people here admitted (or knew) how bad it was, they would take steps to fix it.

I've lived here a year and bought a house here in northside, the GOOD part of town!?!?!? I'd agree with everything said in this review. Look for my review.

This is true but also true of a lot of places. Pueblo has it's upside.... Weather is Great! It is affordable and if you like nature it's all around.
