Lots of local Amenities? 0.5 rating By dryback ( May 26, 2015) This town has been in an extreme decline for over 35 years. There is virtually no downtown no more. The school district is broke and a lot of the town is falling apart. Another terrible ranking. Extremely livable? Really. There is nothing here. The population declined and so did ...Read More everything else. This place is has bad weather and is in an area full of pollution and high cancer rates. There is also a drug and alcohol problem like everywhere else in the region. Extremely livable i guess kabul Afghanistan is as far as area vibes is concerned. This is laughable.
