Was a good place to be FROM
I was raised in Tracy and over the last 60+ years, it has gone from a small town of about 9,000 to almost 100,000. The changes have not all been good. It was a good place to grow up, but now not so. Since the early 80's, crime has grown along with the population. More violent, and drug related crimes happen every day. The developers have really had a field day raking in the dollars. The city government has reaped the profits from developer fees along with the woes of becoming a large city. IMO, the city government sold their souls long ago for money. I don't live in town but within 10 miles, which is plenty close enough. If you like high density housing, CC&R's, and HOA's, the newer part of Tracy is the place for you. Lucky if you can find an older home in town that's not gonna cost you $400K that's not a dump.
