Not the best place, not the worst. - 9/15/2020
I’ve lived here for six years, and it’s been an interesting experience to say the least. If you’re liberal, don’t expect many people to outwardly share the same political views as you. It’s pretty solid Trump country. Not to say liberal views don’t exist, but the amount of Trump signs are quite shocking especially if you’re coming from the bay area.

I moved here on August 22, 2012 and I have to say it is one of the most magnificent ecosystems I have ever seen. While the cost of living here is higher than the national average, the qualify of life makes it worth it. The residents of the area are very kind and welcoming as Read More
