I thought it would be interesting to compare these two cities, especially since both cities have the same name. Both are pretty big, diverse cities ... unfortunately, both cities have some crime issues. Which Richmond would you rather live in?
Richmond, VA. Can the two even compare historically? I envision Richmond, CA to be essentially a mid-1900s suburb of the Bay Area with a lot of ramblers/ranchers whereas Richmond, VA has a lot of 1800s-era architecture.

You would be right. Richmond, CA is definitely a mid-1900s suburb with a lot of ramblers/ ranchers.
As far as architecture, obviously Virginia's Richmond is the winner.
What is Richmond, CA known for besides "Coach Carter"?
It's known for being one of California's most crime infested cities. In 2007 Richmond, Ca had 47 murders (let's not forget it only has around 90,000 residents) For a couple years it has had the highest per-capita homidcide rate in California. It's not the best place to be.
Here is an idea of what people in Richmond,ca go through

I don't think that alone makes a place better. I personally like newer houses and not a fan of older houses. So that alone would make Richmond CA better. However, from my understanding Richmond, CA has a lot of problems. I hear there's a lot of crime like the lesbian who was beaten to death because of some bumper stickers. Richmond VA has a lot of problems but seems to have a brighter future. This is not a stomp against Richmond, CA though I've never been there just going by what I've read.
