Horrible place to live
-

I moved here about six years ago and it was the worst decision of my life. Im just now starting to plan my move. I noticed all the trashy people here immediately. Its not just new port richey its all of pasco county. When driving up US 19 from pinellas county you definitely know when youve hit pasco and when you left. The crime here is unbelieveable. There are more police here than ive ever seen any where else and they look to pull you over and ticket you for the smallest things. And they are very rude and unprofessional. There are no jobs here whatsoever. Thats why the crime rate is high. The quality of life here is very poor thats why so many of its residents turn to drugs. Even the people that live in the "nicer" neighborhoods have it bad. All the houses are in foreclosure and everyone goes to the methadone clinic... Even ppl u think wouldnt be involved in that life style. Its bcuz things are so bad here and depressing. All the homeless shelters are filled to capacity and anyone that is able is getting out as soon as they can. They spent more money on their prison size county jail than they do on schools for children. The few beaches they have here are disgustingly dirty. Everywhere you go you see at least 10 police. Some ppl wouldnt find that bad but I for one think they abuse their power. They should lay off some of the police and invest the money into rehabilitating the homeless and helping needy families get homes. Every place that is sopposed to be their to help wether with housing or something like daycare for children so parents can go to work has a waiting list at least 2 yrs long. Before I moved here my life was pretty much perfect. Now im a product of this place called home. some ppl move here and get caught in a vicious cycle of poverty, bad economy and can never get out. I will be moving out of this backwards county asap! And wont ever look back.
