Review of Palmdale, California


WORST place in UNITED STATES..Hands down
Star Rating - 10/13/2006
I grew up in Palmdale. I left in 1989. At that time it was a smaller city and somewhat safe. My parents still live there; in a better area of town, yet they are scared to go out at night. The black population is huge now. I am not racist, but I can say that there is an enormous gang problem in both Palmdale and Lancaster. My parents want nothing more than to move away ASAP. My mother is retiring and looking for anywhere that is safe and has trees. Palmdale is an ugly desert with reverse racism, gusty winds, no culture, crime, overpriced (even for being so close to LA). I would not move there if you gave me the biggest house in town and a $million yr. salary.

"I am not racist, but" The but cancels out all the word before it. Thanks for the reverse racism.

The AV is a great place to live when you are on the westside. I have lived on both sides. When living on the Eastside our home and car were broken into. Now, on the westside, I have not had that problem. It is safer, cleaner and people are overall more friendly. The AC is truly what you make of it. If you live in a really low income area of the AV, your experience will be what most people experience in really low income areas.
