small town wanna be city User Rating 1 rating By Anonymous ( Mar 23, 2022) housing prices are outrageous. rentals are dumps. restaurants are either pizza or tacos. theres not one single bar/club for people under 60 or who arent hispanic. the police force is one sided. its not pet friendly at all. most of the yards are full of junk and broke down cars. ...Read More taxes are high, while the quality of living is low. the whole town shuts down at 9:00. crime is getting more violent by the day. 80% of the natives are materialistic douche bags. Jobs dont pay enough to afford rent or mortgage. area vibes has their stats all backward. Read Less
