What I wish I knew before living in Poughkeepsie

Anyone else feel this way? I'm a college student here and Poverty rate is 15.8%, which is higher than I expected. You can expect to pay around $1,370 for rent here. It's a a smaller city city with about 31,778 people. The median home value here is around $259,200, which seems about average. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. What do you all think? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The city has invested a lot in new development. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
