Well, I guess Cupertino and Fremont are crime ridden places. Nevermind the $1 million+ homes and public schools with 900 APIs.

Concord: Once a nice town, now filled with Thugs. Mostly Latino Thugs. I am seeing more and more Black thugs now too. It's starting to look like Pittsburg in a way. Coming off the freeway I saw some prostitutes on the corner along with some Black thugs with sagging pants and long Jamaican like dread locks

Oh, you met the Welcoming Committee?

I once worked off Concord Boulevard (this was like, 15 years ago), and there was a lot of "urban grittiness" from deindustrialization. We used to try to walk to lunch whenever we could just to get some exercise, and there was some sketchy characters kinda always around. Never a problem, but I can see how it would be unsettling to a woman walking alone (or even in a group), because most of these loitering guys looked like they had been in the joint, with the gang tatts, and the cholo outfits.

I think he meant, when the white population ISN'T replaced with equally educated and affluent asians.

Traditionally it was a lower middle class to working class white community, then a lot of people from the ghetto's moved in from Oakland due to that city being gentrified. Last time I was in Walnut Creek I noticed a substancail ghetto population downtown. I'm assuming most are from Concord and points beyond.

There is speculation that Concord could be gentrified in the near future with pressure from the housing crisis, proposed high end apartments downtown, and the proposed Naval Base Redevelopment which will add up to 20k new residents middle to upper middle income.

"The Map provides a good picture of which Tri Valley Areas are popular with the Asians or Indians. What really comes as no surprise is the Windermere, Gale Ranch, Camino Tassajara area of San Ramon, along Bollinger Canyon Road. Its known to be thickly populated with Indians and Chinese. On some streets and roads you will only find Indian households door to door, one after the other. Some people says its much of a South Indian microcosm. The schools of the area present the same picture – and have excellent scores. Next in San Ramon are some older areas in west San Ramon along Alcosta and Marketplace. Particularly apartments there are high density Indians. Coming down south, the Pine Valley area has some desi population, and further south, the area between Alcosta and Village Parkway in Dublin is again heavily dotted with red.

East Dublin is the other major desi area. Especially the last couple of years has seen a major influx of desis moving from all over the Bay Area into the Dublin Ranch neighborhood, including Positano and other new construction going on in the area at fast pace that supposedly provides some of the best value in the entire Bay Area. The prime area surrounding popular Emerald Glen park is pretty multi racial, but still reasonably desi as well. Especially towards the north of it. Dublin Boulevard from Hacienda to Village Parkway provides the best desi shopping experience with multiple stores and the Regal Cinema at Hacienda is always on with the latest Hindi release from Bollywood. The schools in the area are getting better every year – that is a no brainer. The Brigadoon area on the far west has a few desis living as well, and so do the apartments along the Dougherty Road. The apartment/condo living next to Bart in Dublin again has a good concentration of desi folks.

Pleasanton is where this Dot Map helps to give a more definitive picture than is generally known. The area between Owens Drive, Avalon Apartments and Stoneridge is heavily red. This has probably even gone higher in last year – especially with the apartments in the area. As Stoneridge meanders to the east, the homes around it are again pretty Asian, going up drastically around the south western end of Stoneridge. While West Pleasanton over all has a sprinkling of Indian population, the central business district goes quite opposite, and then again increases along 680, and showing high around the apartments south of Stoneridge Mall.

Asians are generally sprinkled over all of Tri Valley area, and Livermore shows the same pattern. The Indian population shows a little higher numbers around the Livermore Temple, kind of expected."
