Pittsfield is a corrupt, backwards, visionless city that wants to make itself into a tourist destination without any reason for tourists to come here. No industry, no real economy, contorted and inexplicable values (if you can call them that?), carpetbaggers seeing an easy way to get ahead in politics, incredible corruption, a government more concerned with political correctness than being able to provide clean water and safety. If you think this place is age friendly, you have to limit that to friendly towards those able to get a license to carry a weapon to defend against the incredible number of criminals, non-english speaking residents, transients that followed their criminal family members to the local county house of correction... get a gun if you plan to move here.
This city is run by a bunch of junior high school like folks who govern by whim and juvenile measures. Nothing is friendly here.
I'll like to share my long and Experience career with love, compassion and respect.
