My suggestion is to avoid Bart if possible. Lots of homeless and gang types hang out on the train.

Born and raised Contra Costa County❤

I miss Berkeley so much!!!! 😢 I moved out of the bay about six years ago to Las Vegas. I miss it every day.

What;s a good source for more information about Martinez? There's a potential job for me. The pay doesn't seem nearly enough to actually live there. How's the cost, communite, etc?

Racism. Why would the Walnut Creek CA. police department harass minorities? Why would the lying Contra Costa County fire department frame innocent law-abiding minorities by starting small fires “investigating” them then determining the “suspect” to be an innocent law abiding minority? Then they will team with the lying racist Walnut Creek police department to harass and surveil the innocent law abiding minority to the fullest extent of the “law”. Remember Sonya Massey, Racism and hate are sins. Jesus Christ is the answer.

Visited Martinez for 3 days this past summer. Lovely city! Love the downtown area. Great place to visit.

Nice content

You failed to mention the refinery which will cause acid rain that ruins your cars paint if you live within it's vicinity. Also there is cancer cluster in Martinez that shows up on a map in the area adjacent to the refinery. Also the reported number of children born with spina bifida is abnormally high for residents of Martinez, possibly due to pollution. Of course correlation doesn't always equal causation but at a glance the data does seem to suggest there are some health risks associated with living near the refinery. Martinez is the county seat and the main jail is located there as well as the court house. Don't forget Walmart, there is a very popular one located in Martinez. Martinez lays claim to the invention of the Martini. This of course is totally unverifiable but the city still felt the need to create a large monument to Martinez being the birthplace of the Martini. I think it's brass or some dirty looking metal, there is a plaque that tells the complete story located on site. Check it out. Like many cities in Contra Costa, Martinez has been dealing with a a crime spree that has been ongoing for years. As of late, criminals have been getting pretty bold with their daytime exploits. No one fears legal repercussions because the county is so soft on crime right now. Hopefully politicians, law enforcement, district attorneys and judges get their priorities straight and go back to punishing crime in the near future. Martinez features a historical site called the Pioneers Graveyard. There is a volunteer program that allows you to adopt a historical grave and maintain it and keep it clean while learning about the history and the people that founded Martinez. Another great historical location is John Muir's house. If you don't know who John Muir is, it's a shame your parents home schooled you. Downtown is also home to the Martinez History Museum. It's full of treasure. Joe DiMaggio was from Martinez and you can check out his home which is in the downtown area as well. Unfortunately his restaurant "DiMaggio's" has been closed for some time. There is still a plaque on the site where it once was. Fun fact. My late uncle purchased the restaurant from his family. I'm not aware of what business is currently at that spot right now. Hopefully this helps you get a good idea of what Martinez is like or at least what you can expect if you visit. I felt this video was lacking some authenticity. Now it's complete.

Have you ever heard of THE BUS?!?! You don't consider the bus a form of public transportation? County Connections, AC Transit, SolTrans, WestCat to name a few, are all bus lines that have stops in Concord. Concord is pretty well connected when it comes to public transportation compared to some other cities here in Contra Costa. Are you even from California? You failed to mention the criminal escapades taking place here in Concord in broad daylight that the police seem disinterested in investigating or even responding to. Also you left out the homeless encampments and the homeless people that are pervasive here in Concord. I don't think you gave anyone a real idea about life in Concord. You could have been describing any generic city with a bart station and it would have fit just fine. Focus on quality when making content and not quantity. I do like your hoodie though, I have one the same color. Good audio. Sounds fresh!

Lmao this place is fucked dont come here 😂

Love the Mexican food here. Try Marsico. Traffic’s not bad if you live in the barrio.

Nightlife is not for families The term nightlife is usually about clubs So can you tell me about clubs please

You made a previous video pitching Walnut Creek and now you're throwing it under the bus? Walnut Creek is fine; what makes its bad is when the Oakland contigent shows up to break into cars, steal from retail stores, or do home invasions.

Derek had a good life

Concord is like mini Oakland

I Been in concord for the last 14 years and what ever you do DO NOT GO TO BART because you are gonna see stuff you don’t wanna and whatever you do DO NOT BRING YOUR KIDS ON THERE!!!!! Stay safe yall!❤

Homelessness. Downtown. It’s getting absolutely disgusting.

Concord Ca is turning ghetto

Traffic on Clayton and Treat, and Treat all the way to the freeway is back-to-back starting at about 7:30 am to about 10:30, then again around 4 pm to 7 pm. It takes almost an hour from our home to the freeway.

Great video 👍

Walnut Creek CA. is a systemically racist city. From the lying racist Contra Costa County fire department who will frame innocent law abiding minorities by starting small fires “investigating” them then determining the “suspect” is an innocent law abiding minority then team with the lying racist Walnut Creek police department to harass and surveil the same innocent law abiding minority to the fullest extent of the “law”. These are proud criminals. Jesus Christ is the answer.

Leave for work at 7, get there on time. Leave at 7:10, you're and hour late.

Sometimes I miss my hometown so much. It was a great place to grow up in the 70's and 80's. Concord always excelled in neighborhood planning. Schools and comunity pools, parks. Each neighborhood had its own small town feel. I graduated high school with many of the same kids I went to kindergarten with. I know it's probably not exactly the same. We had our "bad" areas even then and there is roughly 35-45 thousand more residents now so I'm sure the dynamics have changed. I cant imagine what developing the base will do to Port Chicago Hwy traffic or Willow Pass/Salvia but, progress I guess. As long as Concord continues to try and hold onto and encourage that small town/community vibe, it'll still be a great place to live and raise your family.

Born in sac. Lived in Concord, Ca. Most of my life. Now in Missouri!

Love this! I grew up here and have the best memories, Martinez is a special little town.

Please make a video about Brentwood, CA

I thought you only cover the east bay

Is Concord difficult takes long to drive to Stanford University?

In a 3:17 long video, content didn't start until 1:10.

If you dont like living in a city with little crime than Walnut Creek isn't your town. Maybe Oakland is the better option.

Concord is great! Should have done your research

Been looking around Walnut Creek for a while but can't find anything close enough to Bart that would really work. I love the area much more then SF and much more reasonably priced.

You forgot to mention (which is critical). Is MOST people who live in WC that commute not only do they have to take Bart or drive, they have the long passage of city driving to do just to get to their community (ygnacio valley rd, etc). Where’s people in orinda and Lafayette don’t have that (extra) drive time

I lived in Walnut Creek in the 70’s and you need a car

BART has gotten more dangerous, especially after they expanded from North Concord to Antioch and Pittsburg

Transportation: County connection is better than tri delta .. bart isn't the only way

I was born and raised in Concord, on Monument Blvd. I moved states as a teen, but I've been wanting to come back and check it out. From Google Maps, everything looks just about the same as it did when I lived there 20 years ago.

The most materialistic city in the bay area

Parking is really not bad - especially compared to San Francisco. Go for it if you want to move to WC and commute to SF, but personally I don't think it's worth it unless you go in less than once a week.

Thanks for mentioning the Lesher Center for the Arts! We're proud to have this regional asset here in our downtown. Our department also oversees countless additional Arts + Recreation programs and activities. Walnut Creek is the place to be!

As a local, Walnut Creek manages to be awful in terms of public transit, walking, biking, AND driving. nobody wins. That being said they've got good TOD at bart and some good streets by the theater

Racism and hate cannot be tolerated. Walnut Creek CA. is a systemically racist city. From the lying racist Contra Costa County fire department to the lying racist Walnut Creek police department these are two aggressive taxpayer funded commissioners approved city leaders sanctioned hate groups. What do you call a racist in a badge and a gun? A racist. What do you call a racist riding around in a red firefighter truck? A racist. What do you call a racist standing in front of a classroom of schoolchildren? A racist. John 8:44 - You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

What do you think about the commute from Walnut Creek to San Francisco in a vehicle if the gas is covered by my work?
