Still a pretty good place to live and raise a fami
I have lived in Sheboygan now almost 17 years having moved here from another state. As with any city and area there are a mix of good and not so good things about Sheboygan. Sheboygan pluses include: the Lake Michigan shoreline, scenic beauty, close to Road America racetrack, championship golf courses, boating, fishing, activities, state park, recreation, commitment to good school system, good police and law enforcement, strong employment, affordable housing, good state and county roads, moderate cost of living increases, good access to health care, professional sports in Milwaukee and Green Bay, and some cultural events. Minuses include: high property taxation, blue collar mentality, dirty coal fired powerplant, poor city roads and maintenance, dependence on manufacturing jobs for employment, poor cleanliness of streets, excessive city ordinances for minor violations, excessive public spending on private development, small town mentality including lack of concern for growth, pollution and such, and lack of friendliness to outsiders. Overall Sheboygan is a fair place to live. The problems I've listed above are keeping the city's population from growing over the past 35 years as population has remained stagnant. Overall climate is fair also. Mostly cooler Springs and Summers due to the lake affecting weather. Warmer Falls. At times it can be very hot and humid in summer. 1995 was a scorcher and temperatures exceeded 110 degrees several days in a row.
