What real residents are saying right now.
Pros: We will not miss a single things in this place | Cons: Everything. The mayor sucks, the city employees are lazy. Law are hardly enforced and when you beg for safety measures in residential areas the mayor tells you to deal with it. The rich people have their nice safe patrolled neighborhoods and everywhere else is lawless. 0 traffic enforcement or safety standards. 911 operator said they would not send a police officer to an active road rage incident. Everyone breaks every single traffic law including the mayor (watched him text and drive through an intersection). Everyone speeds, runs red lights, drives erroneously, and acts like animals. The healthcare sucks, crooked hospital management and disgusting standards. Hope you enjoy having your deodorant escorted to the register because the “culture” here encourages that. Literal trash can city. It’s a black hole for people. The rich people that can pay to keep the problems away are blind to the reality of things. Most of them don’t even live in Ruston and if they do it’s dead end streets.
Pros: The parks are nice and the put on a few events that are nice. | Cons: The schools are not that great. They could stop over charging for taxes, when you pay $65 for your house 5 years ago and do not make any improvements still has old single pane, wooden windows, wooden siding very small driveway and the city says it worth $120 5 years later they are only interested in how much money they can get because they Mayor gives her family tax brakes and makes the rest of us pay for it. I would not remember moving her. I and working to get my family out of this town.
Pros: It’s just overrated, becoming like Miami and unaffordable. Most of what people can afford is super old accommodations. Whoever is staying here get ready for 300 dollars a day in a cheap and old as f hotels. Not worth it. | Cons: Everything should improve. Beach cleaning,seaweed cleaning , transportation , affordability and arrest the scammers that are there. Every place will have people to rip you off.
Pros: Omaha hosts the College World Series, which is always fun. | Cons: Omaha has unusually high property taxes and crumbling infrastructure. Instead of addressing those, the city is investing in street cars, an outdated idea that favors only a few people, not the rest of the city.
Pros: Nothing. There is nothing good here, things go here to die. | Cons: People are rude, those that aren't are trying to scam you. The drivers try to run you off the roads. Murders tend to go unsolved and the funding goes to the pipes that keep busting. Living here make me want to kill myself.
Pros: Water access, food, and utilities | Cons: Safety, homeless, drug addicts, needs more shops and amenities
Pros: The shopping, my church, and my husband. | Cons: Needs more trees, and less rude people.
Pros: As a native of Gainesville, I've seen the stuff that has happened here throughout the years. I recommend only visiting this city if you plan on attending UF. Other than UF, there isn't much to do. Schools aren't that great due to funding within the county. I also hate how everything is on one side of the town and not spread apart. If you want to go eat out, good luck finding a good restaurant as the only places to go to are on the other side of town. (Celebration Pointe & Butler Plaza). You really have to find the niche/less popular places that aren't overpriced. Want to go shopping? Well, you're in the wrong town, as these places (again) are packed with so many people. The overall environment is alright; you just have to be in the right place. Usually, people here don't give two damns and can be straight-up rude. Also to mention, the homeless population is ridiculous. You can see them pretty much everywhere in Gainesville, whether its downtown or even driving to random places. | Cons: Better education for all schools (even on the ghetto schools on the eastside), make public transportation safer, and develop places where its spread apart, not in one area, and get rid of the homeless population. Other than that, I think they are progressing slowly towards building a bigger community.
