This guy should look around to see that Peoria has good and bad:
 
1st, this positive news:
www.pjstar.com/news/ 20190417/nursing-sit e-ranks-bradley-univ ersity-no-5-sta
 
then the opposite, occurring in the EB about a block NE of Glen Oak Learning Center:

My takeaway from that article was that Peoria has cheap housing, coffee and....cheap housing? It was written by a real estate developer and I don't deny that Peoria seriously needs some GOOD landlords but this guy's response pretty much sums up the issues with that.

@HipKat : that reads like the manifesto of a crazy person. why would you go out of your way to write something so vile?

Peoria is a great place to live. Just like any place, Its what you make of it.
 
If a person has a ****** attitude about life in general, there is no location that is going to satisfy them.

@HipKat :
"It's a terrible place with a lot of problems that only get worse, each year. Nothing here is good. Not one thing. And anything that may seem good is eclipsed by the overwhelming negativity that permeates the Peoria area."
 
Geez, man, that's brutal...I can understand being frustrated that certain things are not as good as they could be...but I spent a couple weeks going through slums of Manila...people living in serious poverty and crime...but they're full of people who love their neighborhoods and their neighbors and life in general... I'm not saying everyone should be happy living in poor neighborhoods in Manila, but saying there's "not one good thing" any city in the US is just not true...is it possible you are just depressed or pessimistic about life in general, and that's being redirecting to the city?

@PeoriaDotCom : i remember friends 30 years ago that would leave peoria thinking it would cure their problems. those friends had the same problems in florida, chicago, new york, and everywhere else. it was just more convenient to blame their hometown.

@PeoriaDotCom : I agree. I have similar experience spent in some of the worse slums of the world. People's happiness is not always a direct function of where they live or what they have.
