Avoid any place in California. This place is hell on earth. Massive homeless problem. Even affluent areas have them now. They are all on drugs too. Watch out for the druken illegal alien drivers too. It is very dangerous onbthe roads here. Also whites are hated here. You will experience racism from those of the latino persuasion.
This is no longer the place I grew up in.
Apparently you don’t work for the CA Chamber of Commerce.
Not true at all in north-eastern California where I live. Quiet, peaceful and crime free here.
