Street markings are not kept up. Public Works has too many employees for every day work and many just "waltz" through the day. Taxes are high for the services we get. The city commission does everything and more for the Beach area and practically nothing for the rest of the city. Policing is jobbed out to the county Sheriff's Dept. and little patrolling is done. After answering calls, most deputies sit and talk to other deputies, ride through the neighborhoods (windows up, air-conditioning on) unable to hear anything and so quickly they see little if anything. I have been here for over 35 years and nothing of any worth has changed. Good ol' boy politics as usual. Want a good hometown in Broward, I suggest Oakland Park, Parkland, Coconut Creek, Weston, Davie, Lighthouse Point, or Cooper City. Dania Beach seems to be getting it's act together, but I haven't been there in the last two years. Unless you have money and political influence, stay the heck out of Pompano Beach!
Pompano Beach is a city that offers multiple resources and presents a strong infrastructure to its people through the means of athletic fields, beaches, waterfront parks, libraries, and playgrounds for children. However, one thing to criticize would be the abundance of strip malls--I believe that the city could work to find more innovative ways to implement retail stores and restaurants. Reason being, strip malls do not contribute to the culture of a given place and most of the time, they are occupied by big brand names. I strongly believe that such spaces could be dedicated to providing resources for local communities and NGOs--therefore, giving back directly to the community and encouraging community activism. For only then, could diversity flourish--and diversity is a necessity for a thriving city. This could be translated to an opportunity to demolish the divide between citizens of Pompano Beach and work towards a more inclusive atmosphere for all--regardless of their backgrounds.
The tourist areas of pompano beach is very beautiful. The city has such great opportunities and potential. It would be nice if the school system was better. That is, better grading while providing a private school feeling to public schools. I also wish that there was more affordable housing. Most individuals make a low income and are unable to afford pricey real estate, in order to live in a well kept community. Also I wish private schools were more affordable and they had more flexibility with programs offered for assistance. Also, I wish that they would rebuild communities to make it more beautiful and inviting. Also building more play grounds, parks and recreational areas. Build more outdoor movies, in order to promote more bonding and family time. Also, building more dog parks that would attract families and a single individual to interact with others. I wished that there was more family oriented places to visit, such as a mini Disney world. That would make us very very happy
