I have never had any issue in any of the houses I have lived in while in Reynoldsburg. I dont know what you mean when you say we need more cops. I dont see what issues your basing this on? There are no major crime issues that I am aware of. We do have a few bad areas, century city being one and post woods are the other. Unfortunately they mix the kids amongst the schools to prevent all the kids that tested low from driving down an entire schools mandated scores. I dont like this especially since I have sacrificed to buy a nicer house and have expectations for the kind of kids I want to subject my own kids to. I agree they dont necessarily seem to have a long term plan in place when they spend money. They have misappropriated money but you can have that anywhere. Pickerington is undergoing a massive issue right now with drugs. Drugs are a huge problem in their schools right now to a point they have gained national attention. So there is good with bad. I graduated from Pickerington and theres alot of people who will tell you they would never subject their kids to pickerington schools. Myself being one.
I dont see what you mean by a "westerville, powell, dublin, ect......". theres alot of money in reynoldsburg if you know where to look for it.
