Fresno Is A Great City

Fresno is a great and often overlooked city. We have great weather we do not drop below freezing often nor have humid heat and are centrally located where you can easily get to most attractions in California. However we do not have earthquakes or other natural calamities and the cost of living is low for California cites. You can buy a nice sized house and is a great place to raise a family. The Fresno Unified schools though do not test well because of language and poverty issues, actually do a pretty good job and have a safe and tolerant climate. We have plenty of higher education oppurtunities as well. Crime in Fresno by some is over rated. You are relatively safe in most neighborhoods of this city. Violent crime is actually relatively low for a larger city. We have the ammenities of a fair sized city and in the actual core of the city itself you have a pretty tolerant environment. Those who say our downtown is dead have not been their in a while. I enjoy Downtown Fresno as well as the Tower District. The Fulton Mall is an attractive often overlooked attraction with a life of its own. Fresno is not Los Angeles or San Francisco in entertainment or things to do but you pay a lot to live in those cities as well.
