Not a good place for families
Once upon a time this was a nice town where people talked about not locking their doors, asked their neighbor to borrow some eggs and didn't have a lot of break ins. Now we are one of the highest in the nation for car theft. Have more trimmagrants than before. The transient population is huge. You can't sleep well at night because they wake you up. They try to get in to people's cars at intersections. Punch them if their window is down at an intersection. Try to pull people out of their cars for refusing to give them money. Go to the bathroom everywhere including on people's driveway, business patios, in the post office and this is with strict hours because they were spending the night in the post office and damaging people's boxes so the post office is no longer open any time. Mail theft is through the roof, locked or not. Forget taking your kids to the park unless the police are hanging out. People shooting up in the middle of the day at parks, gas stations, public restrooms. Smoking pot in public restrooms. Some places are locking them now or if not legally necessary just having one for employees. People walking into traffic so high they don't even know what they are doing. Due to drought and bark beetles many trees are dying. So not as pretty as it used to be. Theft is very high. Lots of breakins in cars and homes. People reporting waking up to someone trying to break in to their home. A few reports of people finding men in their homes including one just sitting in someone's living room. Low pay. Few good jobs. Extremely high rent. 300 sq ft for $900 a month... And the police have a hard time doing their jobs because most people they bring in are booked and released. Not sure what will fix Grass Valley or Nevada City or how many years that would take. I am going to move away and never come back. I said that before, but this time there is nothing to keep me here as my child will be moving out of the area as well. They one day want kids, but do not want to raise them here. They say the drug problem is out of control, which it is.
