Depressing. First instincts are that they don't allow or encourage housing units to be integrated into their downtown. That's usually a key indicator of whether or not there will be life in a downtown outside of normal office hours. I lived in Stockton as a young kid, in the late 1960's and early 70's. Went to Madison Elementary. Good times.

@@johnhatchel9681 if he would have gone on the other side of the crosstown freeway his thoughts might be a little different. Stockton has so much potential with a lot of great residents. Unfortunately, corrupt city leader have squandered opportunity for many years. If you look to the south Manteca and Lathrop have been pulling key businesses that attract visitors something Stockton leaders have failed to do.
