Economy BS on here -
3/30/2008Don't believe the doo do report on here that Bremerton is 5.14% less expensive to live in that the rest of the nation. That is pure raccon crap. Tacoma is waaaaayyyy cheaper to live in. They just like to dangle that BS in front of people looking for a new place to live so they can enjoy taking your money when you get here. Just like always... just cos some site manager puts it on a website doesn't mean it's accurate.

Crooked justice system -
3/30/2008Well your reading about the pot smoking capital of the USA. They even have a pot smoking festival in Seattle once a yr right out on the streets.
Bremerton has a reputation " Come here on vacation, leave on probation. Whether you did anything or not". Now i didn't make this up... i learned it after i moved here.
The military personel get away with everything & anything from driving down main streets at 120 miles an hour to picking fights with the elderly. I was once told by a navy man, in his navy issue uniform driving his navy issue vehicle, when i asked him to move his vehicle from my assighned parking spot where i live, that i didn't know who i was talking to any i'd better shut my mouth. When i told he didn't know who he was talking to he said he'd be back to "take care of my a##". Well i called the navy base, got a report filled out but the guy came back & the property owner had to take care of him cos the police wouldn't even come over even though the man was tresspassing on private property and being beligerant about leaving.
Most women, not the hoe's, but the rest won't date military men here cos they are disrespectful & if he beats the hell out of you the law won't do a daNN thing about it.
Sexual offenders: Check it out for yourself online, they are rampant here the sexual offender map for kitsap county looks like pin cushion for military stratagey. Be careful where you live if you move here.
I've been treated so poorly by local police the 3 times i've called them in the 9 yrs i've been stuck here that i just don't call them anymore.
So move here at your own risk.

Kitsap Transit public bus system -
3/30/2008Well the only way this buss system could be worse is if it didn't exsist at all. The busses run 1 X per hour except on routes were it's every 2 hrs or only 2 times per day. The bus drivers are snotty, insulent, judgmental, disrespectful, discontented people. They lash out at you, drive by people standing at the bus stop and when you ask the bus drivers for information about the route they are often sarcastic & give you false information or no information. For fun some of the drivers take sport in lurching the bus to try to knock the elderly & disabled off their feet before they can get seated. They will call you names & threaten you when you call them on things like trying to knock down a elderly person with the lurching trick.
The handicapped equipment on the older busses doesn't even work 90% of the time. I find some of the drivers about 2% seem to make an effort. If you are dependant on public transportation this is absolutely NOT the city you need to be in. This buss system also serves Silverdale & Port Orchard Wa.

Dirty stuck up pig wallows -
3/30/2008I've been here for 8 miserable yrs. I've lived in 7 different states & many cities. I have never encountered so many rude, stuck up people in my life. the housing economy is so poor that you can't find a decent place to live where you can have any peace and quiet. The apartment buildings (even the new ones) are so poorly built that you can hear your neighbors take a pee, floors creak, fire prevention can only be successful by not allowing even a match stick on the properties. The rent is successfully jacked up by the greedy property owners who like to stick it to the military families and that of course makes it difficult on the civilian people as well. I'm talking a DUMP will run you $650.00 a month with no amenities unless you count the dishwaher & locks on the doors as amenities.
I have lived in 6 apt complexes in this city & the absolute worst ones for noise are Maple Manor Apts 2700 Maple st and Wellsley Apts (new name Pine Ridge Apts) 3232 Pine rd.
The low income housing is practically non exsistant & what is avaialble ie was built in the 1930's & 1940's.
I was denied an apt at the Manguson Wa Apts once the landlord saw my great grandson is black & i'm white. He called me white trash & my grandson a niger. That place is up for sale at this time & new owners may be taking possession at any moment. That manager has been fired. The weatherstone apts look great... but you can hear a nat sneeze in the next apt.
It's a sad sorry lot of places to live. I'll be leaving soon i hope. BEWARE!
