Yes, I must agree with you about Stockton, CA for I still live here do to the fact my mother lives with me and is a Kaiser Member. If it wasn't for that and the fact I work for her through IHSS we would be long gone!! So, far someone tried to break into this old house with a pocket knife and my good friend down the street stopped him. Then my neighbor across the street said she saw a couple trying to break into my car but because we let our dogs out for a potty break (around 2:00pm)it scared them off! Too many homeless keep pressuring you for money don't they know if we have money we would be long gone from here! The little change we have is just enough to get us through to the next pay period, some people have to use the cash in advance. It just isn't fair! My husband let our dogs out at 3:00am to go potty and a man sleeping under a tree next to our fence lifted up his head (spooked my husband) asked him for some spare change. Not too long ago a dead body was found next to the railroad tracks on the other side from our back yard. Every time we pick up the paper we saw people who walk around our area even in the day get robbed while walking their dogs or riding their bikes. It's the wild wild west better get your guns out! They cut back on their police do to the fact the state is going bankrupt can't get a budget because they pay all those politicans(mayors, commissioners,chief of police you name it) more than they worth or need. Especially those retirees. So, make friends with those around you and find things you can do to make life more interesting. So, far I am so bored living in this 2 bdrm house too scared to go out and mingle with the neighors for fear I might be a victim. Enjoy your life! I would love to ride my bike or walk my dogs.
