Review of Bakersfield, California


Used to be a great place to live.
Star Rating - 2/5/2006
I've lived in Bakersfield all of my life. With the recent move of gangs from LA, Bakersfield has tripled in violent crime, accidents and property theft. We have an estimated 200 days of bad air quality days per year as well. The only good thing I see from living here that we are about two hour drive from Los Angeles, the beaches and lakes and four hours from Las Vegas and the bay area.
