What entices you to live in this busy, on the go multicultural area?
No need to be personal, just why.
I just read an article about my city being the worst place to live. Modesto, California.

This city allows the streets to fall apart, but wants the taxpayers to pay for the new Gallo Arts center that is near completion.(Not sure if this is a good thing for the taxpayers)
The slogan a few years back was- "Modesto, a great place to live"
I honestly have tried to look around this city for cultural events that are well done, or interesting. And really the groups have brought in washed up rock bands, actors and more.
George Lucas went to my high school and graduated in 1962. I used to sell skis to his brother in law who is a doctor. Mr.Lucas left and I don't blame him. (tangent)
The Hershey Plant in Oakdale, California is closing at the end of the year and moving its operations to Mexico. (MORE UNEMPLOYMENT)
The only reason we still live here is because of one family member that is elderly. I know that sounds off a bit, but really we are tired of this area.
y being in a larger population are jobs easier to come by or is it even harder?
I have heard about the rental prices and other financial numbers, traffic, to live in Southern Cal and just wonder. Do you most just make do and tough it out? Or is that just some sections of this part of California.
Can anyone give me a feel for what is out there?
