Hi Everyone!
I'm the process of relocating to Bakersfield,CA.
I know the jokes.....so spare me the details.
Anyway,it will be only for 6 months.
Where is a safe place to rent close to middle of town.
Looking at $700/$800 a month for 1 bedroom or single.
Furnished would be great.

Thanks!

Honestly, I wish we had more Bakersfield experts on this forum. I know very little about the place as I've only been there once.

And it didn't strike me as being a bad place. I know many Californians don't like it because, "Oooh, there are oil wells in town," but that to me is a sign of industriousness.

You should have NO problem finding a place for $700-800/mo. in a decent area. Hit up Craigslist, skim the website of the local Bakersfield newspaper, see what you find.

yeah the cops are industrious as well, a few months ago I had the life altering event of watching 9 cops beat an innocent man to death while he begged for his life his crime 911 was called and the cops walked right up to this man who was drunk but sitting down on a curb, the police have threatened friends of mine who wittnissed this, I am actually scared of the stupidity that drives the mindless fools here, I am leaving asap after I heard the local outcome into the investigation, which said he died of a heart attack if your dum enough to believe this you will fit in well, btw when someone is beaten to death they almost always die of a heart attack as it causes heart attacks.
scared for not being an idiot in bakersfield
