I wonder what happened to it. Now it barely clings to being a working class city.

I disagree. Hayward still feels very working/class and blue collar. Do you mean middle class and upwardly mobile? They mean pretty different things...

Strongly disagree. Every town/city has their good and bad parts. So you think the Hayward hills are barely working class? What about west of Hesperian? Foothills? I've lived here for a few years, and it gets better every year.

That was way long back buddy. In the 1990s, Hayward started going to the ****s because of hoodlum who moved in. After 9/11, it was too late. I'm glad I left the place in 2005.

How long have you lived in the Bay Area? I'm a Hayward native and the place has gone through serious decline, especially after 9/11.

Quite some time off and on. It's no worse than anywhere else in the East Bay IMO. I really don't see the big issue with Hayward.

Hayward will probably be "discovered" as the next cheaper-housing destination for the Silicon Valley crowd, after Fremont. Buy in Hayward now, if you want to beat the rush and the spike in prices. It should really take off after the Fremont--San Jose BART extension opens for business.

I wasn't talking to you but no. Before, it use to be middle class but those people left slowly during the 1990s.
