Review of Jacksonville, Florida

Jacksonville is better than most cities it’s size

- 7/15/2019
I was raised in Jacksonville. Lived there from 1980-1991. In the area, Clay County, from 1991-1997. Family and friends still lives there, I visit regularly. I plan to retire there. Of course smaller communities surrounding Jacksonville has better schools, housing, and crime rates cause they are smaller. The fact is and it may offend some but those surrounding communities are run almost entirely by republicans. Jacksonville may be considered “republican” but it’s in the middle. Republicans in the surrounding communities seem to be more pro business growth, proactive in law enforcement, low taxes, more funding for schools, more fire and ambulance protection, better park maintenance and park expansion, quality of the community, etc...
