Run while you can

Fresno on the surface, to the outsider looks like a smart financial move. If you want to stay in California, and can't afford the Bay, LA, or Sac..Fresno is it. But...beware. This place is a Good 'ole Boy town. Racism is rampant, Gang violence is exaggerated by local news to justify over zealous police force. Air is Bad, Jobs few and business owners act as if YOU are LUCKY to have a job at all. Wages are at early 1980s rates, and most people are working in a field different than they are trained in. Ag is KING, and you better love the Republican Party or you will find your car with damage after your low paying work day. Oh, the courts are right out of the American "South" of the 1950s! RUN while you can! -on the way out soon, to Sac, Portland, or Washington State.
