Review of Hamilton, Ohio

---

This city has really been turned into a dump!

- 2/27/2009
I was born and grew up in Hamilton in the 1980's. The east side was always considered the worst part to live where the west side of town was considered the nice part of town. It was great growing up I was able to walk to school without anyone trying to kidnap me and you could walk to the store with your friends and not have to worry about anyone offering you drugs or kidnap you (not that I'm saying it couldn't have happened but it didn't and I felt safe). Now that they've torn down a lot of the housing on Front St for what I call the bums of hamilton live and opened section 8 housing on the west side all the bums and trash of hamilton have come over and trashed the west side of town. I used to be proud of where I lived and was happy to tell anyone but now I live in Ross and could not imagine ever moving back. I feel like my kids are safer here and they are definitely getting a better education than Hamilton can offer(I know cause Ross schools were considered number 2 in the nation)so the city officials of Hamilton need to get the dollar signs out of their own eyes and put actual effort into cleaning Hamilton back up instead of putting a ugly statue here and another ugly one here. Downtown is not going to get any better quit focusing on that part and focus on all of Hamilton as a whole and clean it up. Nobody actually willingly moves to Hamilton anymore unless they don't do their research first and see what a crap hole it is. I hope this review helps any potential movers to Hamilton insight on what's going on and any city officials what needs to be done.
