[queen_bourica]

it is NOT that bad how everyone on here is making it seem, im from east palo alto..but i wouldnt move there if i were you...its not an area to start a new life and hope for the better

Definitely NOT a good place to live. Stay away. Try San Jose instead or Redwood City.

vallejo is not that dangerous. i used to live there for 6 years, and nothing had happened. true, i have seen ppl go crazy there, but which part of vallejo is worst? I used to live in the neighboorhood nearby six flags. i heard that downtown vallejo is bad. im referring to the long reply about the dangerous cities at the bay at page 2??

What I've been told is that the area under the White Slough is no good, and east of 80 is generally better.

what a shame man...i was born in burlingame in 1966,grew up in south sf and in pacifica
before we moved to texas(which by the way has 4 of the top ten cities to live in)..
i went back in around 88 and south sf looked so run down, even pacifica wasnt the same
the houses looked like cracker boxes...i bought a 1,700 sq ft brick home 6 miles outside of san antonio 2 yrs ago for 130k my txs are around 2k a yr...something has got to give in cali, people are leaving in droves, alot to denver, all over texas, nevada,wash.ore really sad cali used to be the ultra cool place
