This is pretty spot on. The city has well water it’s murky and a glass out of the faucet is extremely cloudy and doesn’t look like it’s meant for human consumption. Either buy bottled water or boil drinking water daily. They are overcharging for housing but I think at this time overcharged housing is national. There was a time when housing was fair but the pandemic ruined that. Gunshots don’t bother me. There’s a lot of visible guns due to less strict gun laws. Potholes are definitely a issue in the winter and spring seems like the city fixes the potholes and a few months later the hole reappears bigger than before. Jobs are still plentiful if you are serious but it’s mostly warehouse. Don’t go to Amazon, Pitney Bowes, Dicks Sporting Goods Warehouse, FedEx Verizon, or any of the FedEx airports jobs. Don’t move to the east side of Indianapolis.

This is complete nonsense. The only factual part is about potholes and crime. The city needs to do better with the roads, that is a fact. The dumbass Mayor needs to let IMPD police the city and hire more officers and crime would be less. Just like any big city though, there is crime and murder. Many of the murders are located in certain areas and the crime are typically gang related and committed against other gangs. This is just the way big cities are. The IMPD does a great job with the resources they have. IFD is a top tier fire department and IEMS is a great medical provider. As for the water, Citizens gas/water is run by the city which helps keep the prices of natural gas and water reasonable. I have been drinking the city water for 40 years now and it tastes just fine. Unless you are a water snob like my wife who will.only drink bottled water, the water is quite good. To address the parks, Indy has many wonderful city and state parks within the county. One simply needs to.go find them. White River State Park contains the Zoo, an Ampitheather hosting the smaller crowd mainstream concerts and the downtown canal for a nice stroll. Eagle Creek Park has so many wonderful trails, as well as a sailing club. Ft. Harrison State Park is beautiful as well for hikes and bikes. Holiday Park on the north side is beautiful as well and this just names a few. Some parka have litter and aren't as well kept as they should be, but as a whole it's a good park system. Housing on the other hand, it all depends on what you can afford as to how well it is kept. There are many apartment communities that have option less than $1000/mo acroas the city. The nicer the area and the better the school district, the more you pay. It is simple supply and demand. Homes range from the upper $100k and up. In my area home values have risen quite a bit in the last 10 years to the average price between $185-250k and the newer homes being built nearby can range from the upper $200s up to $500s. Last but not least jobs. Jobs are plentiful right now if you are willing to do the work. Amazon hasany facilities around Indianapolis paying $16+/ hour. IU Health starts all at $16/hr.even Popeye's Chicken fast food is hiring managers at $16/hr and chick fila full time pay $15/hr. There are many warehouse jobs with starting pay around $20/hr. Everyone was wanting a $15/hr minimum wage and there are plenty in and around Indy that offer that.
