My mom used to live there and her experience was horrible. That was a long time ago though. But...

"The overall crime rate in Modesto is 80% higher than the national average. For every 100,000 people, there are 13.51 daily crimes that occur in Modesto. Modesto is safer than 4% of the cities in the United States. In Modesto you have a 1 in 21 chance of becoming a victim of any crime."

And it's expensive there to boot.

I lived in Merced for a year. We were literally the very last house at the edge of town, for about 6 months. You could walk from rows of apartment buildings and condos and a half mile later you'd be dodging cow plops.

I think Modesto was just a wee bit bigger.

Its in the Central Valley which is unfortunately known as the trashcan of California. I have lived in the Central Valley and its a region that faces a lot of disadvantages (air quality, poverty, lots of people going without medical care, drug addiction) but to be honest, all that shouldnt discourage you from living there.

Its pretty bad and unfortunately its still close enough to the Bay Area to be expensive to live in. Honestly Id rather live in Stockton than Modesto. The homeless camp in Modesto is so large that they set up their own city council. Maybe someday soon theyll have an even more homeless camp inside their homeless camp. On the bright side, theres a Bass Pro Shop in nearby Manteca which should be able to handle all your home defense needs.

In defense of the city, the air and heat are just as bad when summer and/or wild fires break out, the homeless and drug problems aren't any better or worse than other cities in the Valley... except San Fran and Oakland where its horrible

Yep, one positive, you're close to the Bay (if you're into that) Sacramento, parks, beaches like Santa Cruz and Monterey, and LA and Disneyland are 6 hours down the road

We actually drove by where the dead woman was lying last week, CSI didnt do a very good job covering her body so we kinda saw it

They caught the guy who did it thanks to surveillance cam (from my local gas station which I stop at 5 times a week)

Anyway, when isnt someone found dead in a CA city on a regular basis? I could turn on the news and easily hear about a murder or 2 in nearby cities

Actually looks like it was much worse and the barbecue was in San Jose.

Most homeless I ever saw was in San Francisco and that was almost 15 years ago so I imagine theres even more now

There were entire hobo villages we had to walk through and some of them would get really upset or start swearing at you if you didnt give them money

I feel a lot of sympathy for the homeless in general, but the pushy assholes like that can rot. They give all the other homeless a bad reputation.
