What is the worst big city in California?

[Shelacious]

I would agree that it's probably Stockton, although I'm not in love with LA either.

Fresno - at least it's better than Stockton....

Bakersfield- at least it's better than Modesto.

Or is that the wrong order?

Sounds like a promising ad campaign for the Central Valley.

Agreed. There's 1.5 small neighborhoods of Richmond I'd even call livable. On the other hand, Oakland has absolutely gorgeous areas and I'd choose the hills, Montclair, etc, over any area of SF.
