Scranton, PA
No Jobs, Corrupt, Terrible Climate -
5/19/2013Scranton, PA is definitely not an up and coming city. It is a dying city with no future and no hope. Here are several reasons not to move to this city: 1. Economy. Most jobs are minimum wage and unemployment is the highest in the state. There are no new jobs moving to the city; only section 8, welfare recipients from NYC/NJ. 2. Nepotism. This ties into the economy as well. To even earn a decent living, you must "know" someone here. 3. Politics. This also ties into nepotism. Corruption is RAMPANT and the city is literally broke. It is Chicago-style politics on steroids. 4. Climate. 6 months out of the year are subject to heavy snow and it rains A LOT year-round. The sky is more often cloudy/gray than sunny/blue. 5. The Locals. This area must have the most close-minded, ignorant, unhealthy, and uneducated populace of any city in America. Most people born here, die here. It is literally White Trash, USA. 6. Transportation/Roads. There is a severe lack of public transit, so having a car is a necessity! PennDOT is a huge inefficient waste, with construction all the time and nothing getting fixed! Streets are filled with potholes as well.
