A Family Town?

3/28/2006
Manteca is advertised as a "family town". However, recently with the inevitable rise in population, we have also seen a substantial increase in crime. From graffiti, to car theft, to violence, pretty much all forms of crime have risen. I have lived in Manteca my whole life. I was here from the time it was a small suburb of ten to twenty thousand, to where it is today (about 60,000 roughly) now with the problems that are associated to larger cities. It's underdeveloped infrastructure leaves no room for gang units and although the town's councilmen give the impression that Manteca is a "family town", they do little to protect the families within it.
