I lived in Simmesport for almost all my life, and I must say that it is not the best town to live in. Simmesport has a terrible diversity issue that is still present to this day. The law enforcement in the area tends to "Turn the other cheek" when it comes crimes such as animal abuse and sanitation. The town budget is not spent correctly when it comes to the needs of the towns residents. However, the community stores in the area are kept clean and try to be very well maintained. I would not recommend living in Simmesport. Even though housing is somewhat more affordable, the conditions of most of the homes is terrible. Night life is an issue in the area due to gang violence and other crimes.
Simmesport is a small town where everyone gets along with each other like a big happy family . It's a great place to come live or visit .
It's just a never nast and trashy town. The mayor is trying to help but there is no helping when the citizens dont try.
