Total Jackanape, over the edge with no hope for recovery.
You should be very proud of yourself: people like you are exactly what I learned to be the norm in your dying town, exactly why your property values aren't worth shit, exactly why I sold my house there at a loss and chose to move back to civilization, exactly why no one with the ability to do even rudimentary research would never consider moving or locating their business there and exactly why the downward spiral of Madison county continues. Good job; wallow in your mediocrity!

More than likely with your attitude you used everyone up here and had to leave town to start over. Contrary to what you may think Ex you are no better than anyone else you're just different. Putting others down only shows how insecure you really are 'cause people who are secure don't have to stoop that low to make themselves look big.

Go with that, you washed up old hag, wallow in your dying town where you belong...you'd never fit in any society in which breeding, integrity and couth are part of life's fabric.

Don't want to those people are too much like you...full of themselves and fake. I prefer to be with people who have manners, actually care about each other, and with whom you can be yourself.

No, it is not. You take it that way because you see anyone who isn't on your level as ghetto which is totally not true and which is what makes you an insufferable ass. There are people who actually are in the ghetto who have more respect for others than you and they also have couth than you will ever hope to have. You are a snob in every sense of the word because you hold yourself above others constantly and you are no better than anyone. Stripped of all your "stuff" you are just the same as the next guy whether you choose to believe it or not.

My lack of respect for most Andersonians has nothing to do with who has what but with not only their willingness but preference for ignorance. Your portrayal of the town as some sort of altruistic utopia teeming with tolerance for their fellow man is a mischaracterization on a grand scale. Only people like you seem oblivious to it; the rest of the state sees you as a joke which is precisely why no one is beating a path up I-69 to live there despite the good deals on real estate the city has to offer. You will, of course, believe whatever you'd like but, once again, overwhelming observable evidence is on my side.

You are putting words in my mouth and putting your own spin on what I'm saying. I am talking about people in general not a city or people in a particular city. If you are looking at the city of Anderson in it's entirety as a ghetto you are still wrong and being snobby. There are still a lot of wonderful people here and you do not put down an entire city just because you weren't able to make it here.

If by, "make it here," you mean I didn't fit in because I wasn't raised in Andertucky and hadn't fucked everyone in town, some of whom were my own relatives, or that I insured my daughter wasn't out whoring around and getting pregnant at fourteen like several of her classmates (whose mothers were thrilled to get a grand-baby) or that I was well spoken or literate or drove Mercedes instead of a Buick, you're god-damned right; I didn't, "make it there." Good riddance to bad rubbish and as I've said previously, wallow in your white trash swamp. It's really unfortunate for those in your town and on this forum who have some intelligence that white trash like you are the determining factor in their property values but that's pretty much how it works out. I sold the house I owned in Broadripple before moving to Anderson at an almost 200% profit after six years. I sold my property in Anderson at a loss after more or less the same time period despite my having put probably $20,000.00 into the property during that time.
The problem with Anderson isn't proximity to jobs or the property values...one can get a very nice property at a very reasonable price in your town...the problem with Anderson is people like you. Try as you may to deflect the blame onto me and call me too full of myself or whatever but the fact still remains that it isn't just me that doesn't want to live there, it's pretty much everyone...no one wants to live in Anderson because people like you live there.

Ex, you're wrong about most of the people. I never have live in Anderson, but in a town very close. I spent a lot of time and did some work in Anderson and it was a fine city until General Motors left. General Motor killed Anderson, Flint and Pontiac and a few more towns.
The corporations, like Whirlpool, GM, Ford, U.S. Steel. Otis Elevator, GE, Westinghouse and so many more of the predatory corporations took some or all of their business out of the country. This is why America has lost 50,000 manufacturing businesses. :mad: :mad: :rant:
Then people wonder why we are in a depression. Ask your fellow Republicans why this happened under George W. :doh:

You're sure awfully bitter for some reason Ex and I don't think it has a damn thing to do with Anderson or the people who live here but you sure want to blame them. I was raised in Muncie and I don't like that town and wouldn't move back there if someone paid me but I don't put down people who live there just because I don't like it. I still have some very good friends there. Got a hot news flash for ya Ex you still are no better than me or anyone else no matter what you may think.

Actually, I am. Despite your claims to the contrary, not all people are equal. Some people are kind and empathetic and some people are mean and selfish; the former are better people than the latter.

This is one thing I have to agree with you EX. She sure thinks she is better than anyone under her status in life. She wants to stand on everyone's throat to tries to get up and stand up to the Super Rich and the Predatory Corporations. :@#%&:

Well you definitely fit the mean and selfish description.
LOL...great topic name!
I chose to build my house in Madison County, Anderson, in 2007, and after the first 4 months in the home I have regretted that decision ever since.
Property values are still declining, and the city government runs amuck because the sheep who live here allow them to. They don't seem to care.
Empty homes are multiplying in the sub division where I live, and instead of these empty homes selling, they are building new instead.
Empty homes are multiplying all over the city as some of the sheep wise up and flee, decreasing the revenue streams and increasing the "creativity" of the scoundrels the population of this city continue to allow to remain in office. (I realize this a similar problem nationwide surrounding the empty home thing).
And while property values continue to nose dive, the evaluations for assessments in this city continue to escalate! (There's some of the "creativity" for yah).
Then there's the whole "perception" thing, as the miscreants in this city continue to grab national attention, (and local), through their debauchery, fornication, and leadership via attrition style.
It has become so bad that when visiting a hill-jack area of the country I was asked where I lived in Indiana. When I told them they immediately parroted the teen mom, Dirty Driving, sexual miscreant propaganda that continues to permeate the media surrounding this city. . . and I was ashamed. (I have since taken to saying I live in a suburb of Indianapolis. Helps me save face).
If I had it to do again, at this moment in time, I would build ANYWHERE but Anderson! :mad: :mad: :mad:
I expect that come Wednesday morning, we will all see an example of the voting public's enablement of this crap continuing. (MY vote will not make anything change).
EDIT: And for the record, as soon as property values and the housing market allow me to, I will sell this stall and move my ass right out of Andertard just as fast as I can!
I had a friend who lived in and worked in Anderson. He said, "you know what is worse than living in Anderson? I said I didn't know, what is it. "owning a house in Anderson.
And they keep the Wigmam and build a sports center for tournaments. :doh:
So, have we reached a conclusion? Is Anderson trash or not?
I think the place looks like a war zone and I wouldn't live there again. It's a shame because at one time Anderson was a decent place to live and raise your children.
I know one thing, this place needs some REAL stores and not the stores that offer junk at quality prices.
I've never lived in any city that did not have at least a handful of major stores in its local "mall". This city has none of these. About the only thing they have is a Sears, and unless I'm giving everybody hand - power tools for Christmas, I can't shop there.
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
This city is indeed trash; with no hope of rising from the dump until the majority of its miscreant population wakes the hell up and does something about it! :mad: :mad: :mad:
Muncie isn't too far behind it, but at least they've got Ball State and a Mall with better stores in it. But stray off McGalliard and you'll see neighborhoods that rival those of Ander-tucky for most ghetto-like ambiance!
Just look at all of the major stores like J C Penny has left Anderson. Why, because there isn't enough money in the town to keep them. Anderson is just another victim on globalization, out sourcing, just like Flint and Pontiac Michigan and many other town and cities in America.

IMHO Anderson got fat and sassy, and rolled the dice in depending upon General Motors to "always be here". They left because of the mismanagement of the company and it's bargaining units union representation; period. And the leadership and citizens of the City of Anderson have for the most part, chosen to play the victim card instead of picking themselves up by the bootstraps and doing what needed to be done to attract new business to the community. In fact Anderson had at least a decade of time to get that done before it impacted the entire nation, as it has at this point. Had they done so, things would be vastly different right now in Anderson.
But it isn't. Instead, leadership failed to lead, and failed to make the decisions that were best for the community instead of re-election possibilities. And the majority of the community was too busy playing victim, (and many still are), to notice they were being taken advantage of or to even care.
The best I see for the future of Anderson is "bedroom community" status; with most of its future citizens commuting 30-60 miles each way to their work each day. There are far too many communities across this nation for this city to compete against, and with little to nothing to offer to entice them here, that would compete with the rest of the field, the sooner this city faces its future the better off it will be.
That means some very hard choices should be in our very near future. Choices that involve the reduction of public services, including police and fire, and an annual operating plan that remains within the CURRENT revenue streams of this city. And that revenue stream shrinks more and more each and every week that passes. No longer can this city continue to provide the level of public service that it enjoyed when companies like GM were within its boundaries. No longer can it continue to provide the same level of services it once could afford when most of the available housing was filled; for today in many of its neighborhoods 1 in 4 of those homes now stand vacant.
The people of Muncie voted out their mayor for making those hard choices, but I am thinking that unless the new mayor continues down the hard road Muncie's former mayor had to travel, they will soon be where the city of Anderson is destined to arrive; and that is ruination.
