And the jails here, I saw a girl who had her back BROKEN and they didn't even call ambulance, they left her on the cold concrete ground of her cell to suffer in pain for 2 days, while she is crying and begging for help, these cops are the most sick people I have ever met, and they are EVERYWHERE.
Most of the USA is like this now, police everywhere, cameras recording everything 24/7...I recommend for all in the USA to move and leave this country, I am saving my money currently to do so.
If you are bothered by and traffic do not move here!
Apartment price is off a bit. Is not so high, but is getting higher each month it seems, so maybe three prices will be correct soon.
1 bedroom prices is correct, but i don't think 3 bedroom is $2000 yet, more like $1700-1850.
These prices are crqzy though....is another housing BUBBLE...domt buy house right now guys..
I had a really nice duplex, totally renovated and looked great 2 bed, for $875 with partial utilities included a couple years ago. Last I heard it was raised to $950, but still a geat deal. It's maybe 2 miles from GR.
