My experience in this city is pretty alright. Depending where you live, you'll see more action occur like living near the beach. One thing I like is that, when you drive around town, there is always a general plaza full of many different stores to your convince. The environment is normally clean, with bustling plant growth. I believe Pompano Beach is a great place to find friends and have fun!

The beaches in Pompano Beach are nice, and the parking garage they just recently installed helps make parking on the weekends MUCH easier! The city does a good job at keeping the beaches clean and tidy, however I simply wish there was more to do on Pompano Beach. There is a lot of room to build some nice restaurants or shops right on the water, which would bring more tourism to the town. The closest shops are still far enough away that it is too much to walk in the extreme heat; something closer, on the other side of the intracoastal would be better and more profitable.
The expense of living is higher than the average income, It's a continuing struggle to survive living check to check. Landowners expect their residents are from other states with money or higher income, that's why someone who works close to minimum wage pays the average of $1,300 a month for rent on a one bedroom apartment, plus vehicle expense, water, lights, internet if you are lucky. The reason I find this information important, each action has it's cause and effect that may result in drug abuse, trafficking, prostitution, even business, and government scams to counter the difference of lack of income. My theory to reduce these effect is to reduce the demand expense of living to be contempt and higher paying jobs over $15 to $25 an hour sustain a decent living without result in jurassic measures.
