We all have those opinions on our city that we don't dare say too loudly. Maybe they're taking on a beloved local business or person, or maybe they're going against the conventional wisdom.

The Indianapolis subreddit recently compiled a list of their Indy pet-peeves. Check out a selection of their unpopular opinions:

My neighborhood is better than you think!

"I like the south side. 135/southport." (starbuck3733t)

"Carmel and the people who live there are not as bad as people make them out to be." (Number_6)

"Beech Grove isn't that bad. I actually like living here." (agnisflugen)

That neighborhood sucks!

"Broad Ripple is over rated. It's hard to get to from most parts of the city. Housing in the area is overpriced and crime is high." (Dobbielovessocks)

"Living downtown blows, everybody is either a snobby suit or snobby hipster. Outside the donut is much better." (queenlizsbeefcurtain)

On local sports:

"The sports teams are overrated." (indygeek)

"I prefer going to an Indians game at Victory Field over a Pacers or Colts game. And I don't even really like watching baseball that much." (spaghetticatt)

"Indy transplant here. It seems that people just tolerate the racing and not really participate much. " (SlytherinWario)

On our culture:

"As a recent transplant, it's hard to make new friends here, because nearly all the people I meet were born and raised here, and already have all the friends they need." (brookelm)

"I feel like our city really lacks character and unique traits." (Victory33)

"The Indianapolis art scene is trying (and it's getting a lot better than it was) but I don't know that it can get very far with such a religious and conservative local general public." (skittyminor)

"There is no such thing as 'Hoosier hospitality.' People are just incredibly nosy and want to know everyone else's business." (MrsAnthropy)

"I've never once felt unsafe here and overall I think it's a nice place to live." (TrippingBearBalls)

On the road:

"I actually like the roundabouts. It's much more efficient than stoplights till you get the one timid moron." (Amoxiskull)

"465 has a speed limit of 55......" (1996chaos)

That last one is clearly just crazy talk. Read the full thread here.
