Genuine question, what makes it so bad? I never get over to Jackson but hear a lot of terrible shite.
1. Unstainable downtown area: after working hours, it's a deserted ghost town.
2. Neglected infrastructure: streets, water lines, sewers have been neglected for years. There are so many crests and troughs that driving down a street is like an amusement park ride w/o the amusement part.
3. Crime and corruption with weak and ineffective Jackson PD
4. All the wealth has abandoned Jackson and relocated to Madison, Flowood, Brandon areas, except for a small part in the Eastover and Fondren neighborhoods, most of Jackson is 3rd world.
5. For the capital of a state, Jackson lacked far less resources than other non-capital cities. Their zoo is a joke, no aquarium, no sports teams or venues, no restaurants, or family-friendly attractions.

Jackson does have nice museums and restaurants, even some pretty neighborhoods still. But the zoo is underfunded, in the ghetto, and the planetarium has been closed for years now, which was always a cool attraction when I was a kid. North Jackson has really gone down in the last 20 years. You have working class people living next door to drug houses.
The real kicker here is that there are zero competent people in line to run the city in the future, and even if there was, they couldn't get elected.
