Concord, CA
ah the good ol' days.... -
4/8/2015I have lived in Concord my entire life (38 years). When I was a kid the place was wonderful. Open spaces, low crime, affordable housing, good schools. Concord is now a HORRIBLE place to live. The crime, gang activity and scary, begging homeless people are out of control. The rent is insanely expensive and the traffic is ridiculous. Three of my 14 year olds classmates where either stabbed or shot this past year. The school system is so bad that I had to take my oldest out and homeschool him until we leave this place.
The city is depressing at best, terrifying at worst. I hate to say it, but this place has been flooded with drug dealing, section 8, gang banging, welfare recipients that have brought their criminal, transient, dirty lifestyles with them and ruined my home town.
My husband and I are currently getting ready to move to Calaveras County, about 2 hours away. We are choosing to leave our families and everything we've ever known behind to make sure that our 3 children aren't raised in this hellhole.
