Was a great place to be raised, now I have doubts.
Native born and raised in Tracy. I've seen it go from a small community of 12,000 to almost 100,000 in 50 years. The growth has not been for the better IMO. It has brought more crime, driven house prices up, and taken out prime agricultural land.
Kids used to be able to go take off on their bikes and be home before the streetlights came on and you were safe. Even after dark it wasn't bad. Not so much now. Fortunately, I do not live in the city limits anymore and wouldn't move back if offered.
