Bakersfield isn't a bad place to live. You are close enough from LA to not have the traffic issues. Housing is still mostly affordable. The thing we had a problem with when we moved from Hilmar was the cost of living is higher here than up there, but still lower than LA.
We are only 2 hours away from the beach (Pismo or Morro Bay), 2 hours from DLR (unless I am the one driving), 4-5 hours from Vegas and Laughlin, 90 minutes from LA, ect...
There are good and bad things with every place, it just depends on how you want to view it.
