  1. Look around. Street conditions make driving through Marion County like driving through a war zone. Crime, particularly violent crime, frightens everyone. People fear for their safety downtown and elsewhere. The absence of street lights makes the nation’s 11th largest city as dark as being in the middle of a cornfield.
    That said, people, especially young people establishing their first household, will establish their residence outside Marion County.
    Until the powers that be strive to make Indianapolis/Marion County a livable place, those with a choice will live elsewhere. The complications of finding capable people to fill professional roles in city government is a consequence of the current administration’s unwillingness or inability to act.

    1. Spoken like somebody that lives outside of Marion County. Talk to somebody like me who has lived downtown for 35+ years and loves it.

      Bit I will say the residency requirement is crazy, especially at almost any position that requires a college degree. Ask any private employer if they would be so stupid as to create that kind of requirement.

    2. Aside from the statistics showing that we are seeing a massive influx of young professional moving INTO marion county annually since 2020…. do you have any actual facts behind these clickbait headline takes?

      Street light issues is from the republican administrations…. so pick a lane of who to blame. I assume you are blaming the state legislature since the punishment for crimes is controlled at the state level

    3. @Kimalie Said no-one ever. Indianapolis is a city and undoubtedly has city problems – but downtown is bustling and vibrant. The only people who fear for their safety are those who never venture south of 96th St and listen to AM radio…

  2. It is interesting only certain City/County employees must live in Marion County. A good number of police and fire department employees live in adjoining counties. How can some groups be allowed to live outside while other must live inside? I have never understood this requirement which definetly limits those working in positions with required residency.
