Long-time residents decry “the fast-food nation.” Good restaurants exist but mostly it's “golden arches, e-coli and vermin.” Decor marred by nearly 1000 Superfund sites, sulpher-spewing oil-refineries, privatization of national parks and laxer pollution standards. Service is “virtually non-existent.” “Everything’s a phone tree” says one respondent. High taxes for everyone except “the super-duper rich.” "Not what it used to be" lament many.
