I feel your pain though honestly having been a resident of Vallejo since '93 though Vallejo has had it's share of crime. Many even high profile. It has not only gotten better with gentrification. There are honestly far worse places I can think of especially if you are speaking of crime. Please! Many talk about Old Town being skidrow! I mean really!? Try venturing into San Francisco Tenderloin or area around Los Angeles Union Station near City Hall & tell me if that's not any sleazier. No comparison. As for it being 4th most violent? In what way do you come up with that number? I feel much safer in Vallejo then I do in Richmond, Oakland, Stockon, or San Bernardino for that matter! Any city has it's good & bad. Be it people or yes neighborhood. Yes crime can sadly happen almost everywhere. My final point here being before I moved to Vallejo I rented in the quiet town of Millbrae. I worked nights too in 2 areas of San Francisco known for auto theft & boosting. All the time I've lived in Vallejo never had my vehicle broken into once. Yeah knock on wood it can happen just not yet! Living in the quiet town of Millbrae. Yep had a stereo ripped out of my truck. Bottom line before one is either real positive or negative about an area, please think over your response 1st. I know a lot can be based on experience. Then again so am I. Vallejo honestly no better or worse then other cities. After all it is a city. Will have city problems or issues. Then what or where doesn't?!
