Worst things about living in Springfield

Look, I love Springfield, but let's be real about the downsides:

Some areas are rundown
Property taxes are high
Crime in certain neighborhoods is a real concern

Don't get me wrong, it's still a great place overall. But people should know what they're getting into.

Respectfully disagree about the cost of living assessment. In my experience, there are good opportunities if you network.

I've lived in Old Town for 11 years and it's decent, has its pros and cons.

Public transit needs work but they're investing in it. Should improve in next few years.

I've lived in Southside for 13 years and it's a hidden gem honestly.
