I am humored by the way that some people describe Lancaster. They make it sound like some post-apocalyptic warzone.
Lancaster is actually a very decent family-oriented community in which to live. Yes there is crime like any other city in the country, but yet the crime-rate is below the national average. I have never felt unsafe here, and am fine when my family is out and about. There are lots of nice parks and other amenities to enjoy.
Yes, we do have cultural diversity, but welcome to the new look of CA. You better get used to it, or move to an area that is still majority white. I am white, but am comfortable with people of all ethnicities as long as they are contributing members of society.
I have zero tolerance for criminals, and they absolutely need to be expunged from our community. That being said, there still is too many shady characters in certain parts of town, but their population is decreasing.
Overall I would recommend Lancaster to anyone to live. It is still a drive to LA, but is close to the mountains. There are lots of churches, thus it is a very conservative place to live. The only people that might be uncomfortable are extreme liberals.
