I had a co-worker who lives in that same neighborhood until becoming a long-haul trucker and moving back to Sonora. That was only 3 years ago and it was a nice place. I lived in SA for years, but returned to the country over 20 years ago for good. I could not have afforded to live in the expensive neighborhood my SO lived in 4 years ago-but he and all his neighbors still had bars on their windows and doors-no thanks at any price. There is no job or enough money to get me to live in any city again-they are all ruined...
I’ve been to/through Sonora quite a few times, always felt like a very depressed area. Would like to spend some time there if I ever get the chance. As far as my part of SA, I’ve only been here shy of a year now but have already begun looking outside of the 1604.
