“Nice” little town run by the good ol’ Boys. There are like 5 families with all the money who call all the shots. Diverse, but covert issues. Very few employment opportunities; even fewer with decent pay; almost none with decent benefits. No night life, poor schools, I want out!!!
City government is pretty corrupt. Back room deals and small town politics. Just google “darkness in Monroe city”. Succinct summary of current politics and water crisis.

A town like Monroe, is an ol fashion love hate relationship.
With the quaintness of our little town we do get spoiled in the little things such as having a neighbor that will shovel your driveway or help you cut down a tree, someone will actually stop if you're broken down on the side of the road, teachers that will devote themselves to non profit overtime, and we enjoy cornfield landscaping rather than rush hour traffic. Most importantly however, in my 20 years of residing in this modern day zootopia there has never been an occurrence where the whole town didn't knock down someone's door in a tragedy or major instance and hold their hand during the entire duration.
Although there has begun a slow creep towards breathing the life back into the town, there is still the small town syndrome that Monroe suffers from. Everybody knows everybody, at least four people know something about you that you don't know, the power and town status stays within the same names trickling down the generations, as well as the potent stench of bad reputations sticking to certain blood, and lastly but certainly not least in this yin yang go-round, there is limited opportunity to grow, expand, and fulfill your potential career wise.

I enjoy the small town aspect of Monroe City. Neighbors help neighbors in any way imaginable. When a farmer is sick the other Farmers will pitch in to help that family in many ways. The thing I would like to see have change is City Hall and the city government. The city charges the citizens a very high rate for services.
