Yes, blondie909 is telling the truth. I lived in Rialto, south end for 17 years. I was told that it had a lot of orange groves and most of the new housing being built at that time was on orange groves. We saw the population grow from 20,000 to 80,000 when we moved. We lived there between 1984 and 2000. It was fine living for the first 5 yrs then we found the gangs from LA started moving in. Criminal activity and violence started taking over. Graffiti was everywhere. After a Mexican cartel drug shoot out in my own neighborhood across the street where we lived. I told my husband as soon as the housing market gets going again, we are selling our house! We had to wait until 2000 to move-we live in Redlands now and could not be happier!
