Gangsta's Paradise

5/1/2006
This city is primarily made up of immigrants from Mexico. It is not possible to go to any store in this city and not hear conversations in spanish taking place around you. There are many, many more hispanic people than any other race. It is also impossible to feel safe and peaceful, as most neighborhoods are filled with houses that have 1-3 families living in them and the gang problem is AWFUL. The houses are also very expensive. Some people enjoy the moderate climate in Salinas, I prefer sun in the summertime myself. (As opposed to sun from 12-2, fog the rest of the day and night). Most people that live here either grew up here or had to move here to due to family obligations. No one moves here from another place and stays intentionally.
