Anyone know anything about this little piece of heaven on earth? I don't know much about this area. Anyone live by or know much about it? Fill me in please, enquiring minds want to know!

UOP has a pretty campus.
I'd live in Stockton.What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

Just like most big cities, it has some nice areas and some really, really crappy ones. Its less than an hour to the Siera foothills and an hour to the SF Bay area. The Jelly Belly and Anheuser Busch Factories are also an hour away.
Basically its an hour drive to do anything fun.Comment

Key facts:
1. Used to be a hopeful slice of the Californian dream
2. Is now a hellish little slice of the Californian disintegration
3. Still has some beautiful neighborhoods
4. UOP is cool
5. Some beautiful neighborhoods + influence of UOP means it's possible to make a decent life there
6. Tons of crimeUte-ī sunt fīmī differtī
It can't all be wedding cake.Comment

Hmmm.... "tons of crime". Hmmmm.....but would I be a victim of a drive by shooting if I rode my bike all around?
Dang.... I was hoping for a "bit of heaven on earth" shpeal, but, that got blown to bits.
Potential job opportunity. Just thinking and wondering if I'd get a thumbs up for approval by the CUF community.

Earlier this year I was driving weekly between Pleasanton and Fulsom. Stockton is half way between the two. I always knew that I was getting close to Stockton because traffic would suddenly start to get crazy. It only seemed to happen within about ten miles either side of the city.
You don't have to live in Stockton to work there. There are lots of nice little towns to choose from in the area.
I'm not especially fond of any towns in California's Central Valley, although I now live on the edge of the Central Valley. The hills and coastal areas are more interesting places to live. Stockton is basically right in the middle of the Central Valley.Comment
