1 Reviews & Comments About Panama City
Crime is drug fueled and violent. Employment is still low paid, part time no benefits. Schools are poor and rapidly closing post hurricane Michael. I moved here from hurricane Katrina and have stayed in a HUD apartment complex for 13 years paying very low rent and utilities in a very poor neighborhood. I can leave whenever i wish.
Local parks and beaches are beautiful and a lot of us are volenteering to improve our local post hurricane Michael environment. A community is an endeavor by it's citizens, for positive changes to come to fruition. The environmental pollution needs to be managed better by the state authorities, to attract population growth.
