Not so Great -
10/21/2011Been here for 2 years now. Not a great place to live. Mostly gray skies, lots of traffic-gridlock, drugs, assaults, etc. It's like any other metro city only its always dark dank and gray, except for the few days of sun in Aug., STrange how some people want to say it's not cloudy or rainy, that goes against all common knowledge. If you like that, you like it, but many people don't. Denying it's there doesn't make it go away. Other then the weather, if it doesn't get you down, you can find a lot of expensive real estate, shopping, and outdoor hiking (in the gloom), biking etc. Most people can't afford much out here and they look rather beaten down, the commute in and out of the city. It's a rat race just like any other city. Out of the city its gray above and green and brown below.
