#1 for foreclosures!! - 4/20/2009
Because Stockton is #1 in the country for foreclosures, there are deals to be found. There are areas of Stockton that have remained in good condition for 30 years, but it seems like the bad areas(meaning people who have no respect for their neighbors and throw trash in their neighborhood, high crime, dilapidation) seem to be encroaching in on them. Culturally, the Bob Hope Theater offers entertainment and Stockton has a hockey team, but what's nice, is that San Francisco, Santa Cruz and the mountains for skiing are all within 2-3 hours away. If you've always lived in Stockton, I think of it as a city that you should move away from once you're an adult. There's so much more out

A depressing city to live in! - 3/3/2009
This is my first posting but I have lived in stockton my entire life. Stockton is a horribly boring place to live, if you are young, single, and looking to find a mate you should move somewhere else. Stockton always ends up on some worst of list. It is hard to find a job unless you are latino or asian. I am not a racist or anything but it's just so annoying to get beat out of a job because you don't speak spanish. Do yourself a favor and live in a city with a lower cost of living and better stuff to

Stockton, I would move but I have too good of a jo - 11/19/2007
Stockton has its ups and downs as does any large metro city of 300+ thousand people. I have lived here all my life except for a small time in AR when I was a child and that didn't count. I have to admit I had checked out Oklahoma and found it a tad bit too hot for my taste in the summer. Though the cost of living was crazy low. Calif. overall has a very liberal political climate and for conservatives such as myself an family it is hard. My job and some family hold me here in Stockton,Calif. Other wise I would take off to Idaho state for

Did you notice..... - 11/19/2007
......how the Stockton defenders mention how close Stockton is to other places? Close to Tahoe, the Bay Area, the beach, etc. They want to leave here too!!!! Not one of them talks about how great it is to live in Stockton. Read the loacl newspaper. They just had a couple articles about how people are being let out of jail early because it's overcrowded. One person spent a week in jail on a six month sentence. Another was released 57 days into a 180 day sentence. Of course, the voters turned down a sales tax increase to add on to the jail, so this kind of practice will continue. If you do the crime in Stockton, you'll be out in now time! This place still sucks no matter how close it is to anything. Still can't wait to get out of
