City data has a forum that tries to tell people its data about cities
is somehow unique. Its not, they are total control freaks.One can just
imagine how their information is geared to hypeing their cities not
being informative or objective. They censure more then anywebsite I
have ever been too. This is just a warning to never ecpect objectivity
from these control freaks.or on the forum because they just delete
messages for a variety of reasons. In the day of the internet and free
speech its kind of ironic they try to use that information to put
their own slant on things and think they can get away with it. Don't
go to a cities forum expecting much objectivity, they have real estate
and city commerce and ads to promote instead of truth. I hate to say
it but I think Sperlings has become the exact same way, They hype
things and leave out the negatives about the cities they write about.
This wasn't true years ago but I guess its a way to receive more money
for them
