    "The schools are some of the most underperforming in Bakersfield, the parks are overran by homeless, the drug abusers will steal anything they can get their hands on (including my front porch bench and my lawn sprinkler.) The streets are like an obstacle course between avoiding pot holes and pedestrians running out in front of you. The rent is cheap though, so that’s cool. "

We don’t keep nothing of value in the vehicles so we do t worry a lot about it. Where we live most of the homes are rentals and they take pride in keep the grass cut. It’s funny the homeowners that live I. There home here let there yard go. Great area to live."
