The truth about Oxnard

I have lived in this area since 1990 and its really a shame to see the city let itself go. The perfect climate, great access to the bigger city if you need it and escape to the beach the nearby Channel Islands and mountains. I am perplexed at Oxnard's lack of initiative to clean up the horrendous crime rate and to make it a safe place to live. Too much emphasis on writing fix it tickets for no front license plates rather than tackling the real crimes such as gang bangers and murder. The whole area is infected by gang scum that going to the Pacific View Mall in Ventura requires customers to wear a bullet proof vest and carry a firearm for safety. Constant stabbings, and it really gets worse near Port Hueneme area with murders. It is a shame because there are many great stores and nice areas, but if you're looking to move to Oxnard, stick with the areas closest to the river and beach. Anywhere else is really putting you and your family's life at risk. BTW, the roads will do a number on your car... new car in Oxnard? Not for long!! City does nothing to alleviate its pothole issues and the county is even worse.
