[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Can i get a calibration on Richmond, California?

Posted: 4/24/2016 3:39:13 PM EDT

My daughter and her husband are moving there next month.

They have a Makarov right now, so I guess the magazine capacity is okay, and I know about the $19 registration.

What about storage and transport requirements?

Depending on where exactly in Richmond there are other things I'd be much more concerned about. There are some truly shitty & dangerous parts of Richmond.

Do either of the them work for Chevron?

Her husband will be commuting into SF. My daughter is looking for a job. Their apartment is on the north edge of Richmond.

They are both out of their minds. The only way they will learn a lesson is first hand experience.

This one of those lessons that you do not want your kids to learn first hand. Richmond is a bad place. I'm sure there are good areas. Somewhere. But Richmond is on the news every single day with reports of violent crime. Seriously, do a google search for violent crime in the SF bay area. Richmond is near the top and has been for years. Yeah, they're trying to clean it up. Good luck.

Affordable areas of Oakland, Emeryville, Richmond, Antioch, Vallejo, etc. all suck. See the linked article below for 2015 numbers.

Go further east or north and suck up the commute. I drive 66 miles one way to live in a great community. Richmond is a cess pool.

Do not let them move to Richmond. I work there.

I dont know if it would even be a "suck up the commute". You'd need to hit Oakland to cross (Bay Bridge or Bart), so you can trade the mileage south to go further east. Distance would be roughly the same just different directions. I dont think you could do worse than Richmond thats for sure!

The crime rate in Richmond is falling. See this map and table http://www.city-data.com/crime/crime-Richmond-California.html

San Francisco, by comparison, is almost as dangerous, but we all know how expensive it is to live there

They arrived in Richmond on Thursday afternoon. The apartment complex is gated with full time security patrol.

The company my daughter worked for in Tennessee decided to interview her for a position out there, and she has an interview at a venture capital company located East of the bay (but still a substantial commute) on Monday.

I told them that when they decide they have to bail out to call me, I will get them out of there, they don't need to worry about the cost. I'll be interested to see how long the stars in their eyes are shooed out by reality.

In the mean time, my oldest daughter is moving to Kansas City to attend UMKC in a doctorate program. The area around campus is another dangerous location.

If the husband makes good money and your daughter lands a job they may never leave. Yes, the Bay Area is expensive but its not unaffordable. If they land the right positions they will make ends meet and then some.

They'll be working their ways up into that lifestyle. Things are going to be thin for a while.

That's the key here. If living in Richmond doesn't put the fire underneath them to move on up Jefferson style, NOTHING will.

Daughter landed a job at One Planet Ops in San Ramon on Monday. This will get their combined salaries into the "survival" range. At least until she wears out the car she'll use to commute.

My other daughter has a new, but serious, boyfriend from Reno. So maybe moving to Reno for the soaring isn't crazy. (The world is small, her boyfriend also live in Trona, California. His dad is a good friend of a first cousin that worked at the SNORT at China Lake. "All roads lead to Trona.")

I might actually pick Richmond over Trona. Yes, I have been to Trona.

Trona is a dump, but it's probably safer. Definitely hotter and dryer.

I've been there, too, a couple of times.
