I thank God I left Akron more than 50 years ago. I have missed more than fifteen thousand days of miserable Akron weather and have enjoyed my life in sunny Florida swimming and fishing
We have definitely seen quite a few people heading down to florida and Carolina’s for the better weather. I’m still enjoying all the seasons currently but I’m sure that will only last so long!
How do you like those insurance and tax bill? I went from paying 5k anually to over 15k between insurance and taxes. Thats almost someone's income. I am heading north now.
@@vickynoname9860 They need to mention the WATER and SEWER rates. Akron messed up years ago by not keeping their system updated, and now homeowners are footing a monthly disaster of a bill to pay for what the city never took care of. Our water bill has TRIPLED in the last ten years or so. This has nothing to do with consumption, just additional fees and assessments that we are burdened with to fix a failing infrastructure. Property taxes continue to go up, as well, in addition to poorly maintained roads and public schools that rank the lowest in the county.
I wouldn't live anywhere that DOESN'T have a winter. I've been to Florida, aside from the beaches it is flat and humid. Not a place I'd want to live 365 days a year, no way.
Positives: mid-size city with small town feel, relatively friendly population, diversity. Cons: grumpy lifers (no one is keeping you here!), drivers are dangerous, off-road, illegal bikes & 4-wheelers on city streets. Still remain optimistic!!!
I appreciate the refreshing honesty! The biggest "Bliss" draw for me personally would be the wonderful Metroparks I've been learning about online! Really though, any of the cons mentioned here seems to be the same ones you'd find in ANY similar-sized U.S. City these days! The ONLY thing that is an absolute "no go" for me is where people are all detached from one another and are rude. Indianapolis Indiana was distinctly a hellscape of cold and surly people--at least when I stayed there for a couple days. Wondering if Akron generally has friendly, helpful and nice people...(Our host here seems to be good-hearted!👍😊)
I’m sorry you had an experience like that in Indianapolis! I will say I have lived here my whole life and I have met many nice and kind hearted people so I like to see that this is the majority of people you would come across! I appreciate the kind words 😁
Well I use I was born and raised in Akron and yeah the roads have always been f***** up and that's due to the snow and everything else in the weather so that's not that's not a no-brainer two yeah the schools yeah there and three the housing that is there if you want to live there and live conservatively but overall it's a nice place it's a lot Heritage and the parks are extremely there's a lot to do
“Racism, not race, causes disproportionately higher rates of homelessness, incarceration, poor education, health outcomes and economic hardship for African-Americans,” Rose said. “Policing is not the end-all, be-all of racism. That type of unnecessary use of deadly force towards minorities has just recently come to the forefront because too many unarmed humans of African descent have ended up dead before they could come before the court of law.” Rose told the Health and Social Service Committee that the task force and the strategic plan will include specific goals and timelines for reaching quantitative benchmarks related to equity.
Heard you have a little goblin infestation down at 339 Lloyd Street 😂😂😂

I’m from Florida, half of our year is miserably hot and humid.
