Winters are not Moderate

Tracy is an okay place to own a home with lots of friendly neighbors, very family friendly. The housing market rebounds more quickly than other central valley locations, but housing prices are very reasonable. Spring and summer are great.
On the other side, there's the long brutally cold, almost unbearable winters (20 degrees colder than the Bay Area). Too cold and too much rain for my taste. There are these crystal meth addicts who ride BMX bikes looking for things to steal. They'll prowl around the neighborhood looking into garages and opened gates. If you commute to the Bar Area, life's a real grind. I commute to Modesto, so I'm pretty happy there.
All in all, I prefer Orange County and San Diego for the weather, but it's too crowded and too expensive.
