Shocked at the way this site is run. Shared the horrific experience of moving to Rochester MN and having our apartment filled with heavy meth fumes from an adjoining apartment. The police and city inspector, and, worse, the mayor refused to do anything, the doctors at Mayo Clinic and Olmsted refused to put it in documentation or test for it, and the apartment management at Technology Park Apartments covered up for all the drug activity they hosted rather than keeping it safe as the manager, Jacklyn Hill, says she does when talking to prospective clients. This place is so corrupt, so citydata.com banned me for saying what I experienced. That's relevant because I checked citydata.com before moving myself and my family here. The fact that they've banned other people who told the truth about Rochester means that they were on the side of the criminals that gave me what appears to doctors as lung cancer, though I have never smoked or stayed around second hand smoke. Now, for the first time, I have asthma and cataracts that I definitely did not have before this. If citydata.com had allowed honest reviews, my son and I would have been spared the cancer risks, loss of everything we owned other than our now very contaminated vehicle, and two years so far of income due to physical injuries. Both the city and the medical clinics here are tainted with corruption. Yes, there are some good people and good things about the city, but when people learn what happened to us, they don't seem at all surprised. If citydata.com masquerades as a source for valuable information about a city and what it's like to live there but censors negative truths by banning truthtellers, they are fraudulent.

Tip for consumers:
Rochester, MN, is dangerous. If you come working for Mayo, you'll probably be okay, but if you come to apply to work there, you may end up fighting for your life and afraid of the police who protect the criminals. Very, very dangerous. We even got stalked after we escaped those apartments and the manager put collections on us as though we should pay for more rent in the very dangerous apartment after she put meth users/makers/dealers below us in the leaky apartments and it filled our apartment.

Products used:
Apartment (deathtrap managed by someone who hosts drug activity, changes records fraudulently, and ignores people being harmed physically by the condition of apartments), police (refused to accept criminal complaint, used intimidation tactics to get private info to give to the criminals, lied in records), city housing inspection (refused to come even for fire hazards and heavy toxins, but said they only came for health and safety), county (helped with some resources which I appreciated but would have rather not needed them so long if they would have allowed me to use emergency housing to get away before my lungs got damaged; they said, "It's not an emergency," and asked, "Why did you move here!!!!?" I was treated like a leech when I came here to work and volunteer. What is wrong with these people?
