Smokey geriatric hell 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Nov 03, 2023) The echo l whole crooked town is run by construction companies and Libertarians. House builders get away with literal murder as codes are not enforced AT ALL. Houses burn down all the time which explains about half of the constant smoke pollution. This is the stinkiest town I' ...Read More ve ever lived in. If it's not fireplaces that are not required to be kept up in built correctly and there's people with campfires in their yard or burning trash or God knows what they're doing. But every single night the entire neighborhood is a fog of smoke. I'm sick constantly and I can't help I wonder how many children develop asthma in this town and how high the cancer rate must be in this town. Young people vacate this town as quickly as they can. The housing is terrible here this site does not tell the truth. Minimum two bedroom one bath house is $200,000 and you'll never get it because 10 landlords will outbid you. Read Less
Crooked and poor 1 rating By Wiccan56 ( Aug 07, 2018) My daughter was at school at Austin College for 4 years. Would have taken her out the first year, but the classes were small and she had a scholarship. Cops are hyper-vigilante against college kids. They stakeout parks and residences trying to find kids to see if they slip up wi ...Read More th a traffic violation or any drinking. Whole town is trashy and poor, lots of crime. The college kids are seen as "cash cows". EMS failed to bill the proper address for my daughter's ride to a podunk hospital. She was turned into a collection agency 2 years later! They know all college kids have insurance and the address of the college is NOT the dorm location...I think they did it to collect the entire amount billed and not go through the discounted rate of the insurance reimbursement. There is a lawyer on every corner. Don't get sucked in by any scholarship from this school. The town is hell on earth and the municipality is crooked. Go to another school. It was 4 years in hell for me...I am glad it is over. Read Less
