Worst things about living in Worcester

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

Traffic can be bad during rush hour
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.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

I'd add that the school system has been improving steadily. Otherwise spot on!

The food scene here is seriously underrated. So many great restaurants.

Good summary. I'd rate it higher personally — maybe 6/10.
