Review of Tallahassee, Florida


Sad.
Star Rating - 1/22/2018
Being in Tallahassee is like eating the same food every day over and over again. The town is 51% white and 39% black with a handful of Asians and about 5 Latinos, but that's it in terms of flavor. Every race keeps to themselves and almost tries to stay segregated. Every child I see I empathize with because they are being raised in a close-minded, racist, segregated environment. On top of that, the city only spends money on the richer neighborhoods, trying to improve what is already functioning instead of going to the poorer neighborhoods and fixing the roads or building parks. On top of that, there is seldom anything happening and there is nothing to do unless you're in college. It is hard to find jobs, housing is expensive, and prejudices are almost reinforced. If you are thinking about moving yourself or your family here, you should look out for the wellbeing of yourselves and refrain from doing so. If you have a differing opinion you are either from Tallahassee and unaware of these issues or you're in denial of the truth.

Your thinking very close minded. If you where a college grad making really good money, nice house, live in a nice area and pay 35%-40% gone to taxes, wouldn't you deserve your area to have nice schools, nice parks, nice roads and upscale neighborhood? You earned that. Now think like a poor person. I am owed to live in an area that's wealthy, i am owed a good high paying job even though i didn't go to college, i am owed nice parks and nice roads even though i don't pay much taxes. Everyone is racist because they don't give me what i want not what i earned.

I make a good living and decided to stay in the south side of town to try and help change the stereotypical view of people who are viewed as less than. Most of what you said is 100% true. I've had to fight for infrastructure improvements in my subdivision and surrounding areas by reminding the city that I pay property taxes just like others who own homes in more affluent neighborhoods. But I still love my hometown and I'm working with many other awesome people who are working to make it better.
