We moved to Bakersfield in 1990, the population was 174,000. We had a new home built for 120000. In Stockdale area. Lived there for 11yrs. Worked at Kern Medical Center, Mercy and Heart Hospital. Ppl called it the arm pit of CA. I loved Bakersfield and the ppl. I still have friends there. To ppl who have nothing nice to stay about Bakersfield. Stay in the shit hole where you live. Thanks for sharing.

So i’m visiting bakersfield next year (my friend is from there), some people are telling me it’s dangerous and unsafe? I’m from the UK and have never visited to US before so these comments from people make me nervous

[@RoadTripInsights]

Don’t listen to some people. Bakersfield is safe for you.

[@Melie1111]

Im born and raised here in Bako. Its not too bad. There definitely has been an increase in the homeless and petty crime, but nothing crazier than ur average city. Just stay away from Oildale, cottonwood, and the east side and u should be fine lol. These areas are the worst in town. Rosedale and Stockdale are the more desirable / "uppedy" areas. It gets really hot in the summer tho. We get pretty bad heat waves in the hundreds and sometimes in the 110's that can last for weeks at at time. But our fall/winters are good. It never gets too cold so its more like really fresh springs

[@buster5803]

You will notice one thing missing here in Bakersfield; there are no people living in tents on Bakersfield sidewalks.

[@RoadTripInsights]

You are right amigo 👍

[@brendab2356]

There are LOTS of people living in tents on the sidewalks, parking lots, parks and side of the freeway.

[@oldgysgt]

@@brendab2356: LOTS? I was driving through downtown this morning, and this afternoon, and there weren't ANY homeless tents on the sidewalk, or anywhere else that I could see. It's true that there were a few tents set up on the sidewalk on the west side of Baker Street just north of California Avenue a few months back, but the BPD removed them, and they haven't been any there since. Now, just where are the "LOTS of people living in tents on the sidewalks, parking lots, parks and side of the freeway"? Give me their location, street name, and cross street. Or better still, let the BPD or CHP know where they are, so they can be removed. Bakersfield has a lot of faults, but letting people live in tents on the sidewalks is not one of them.

[@dealerdude]

@@oldgysgt Bakersfield is full of homeless. Maybe not tents but plenty of homeless. And the town sucks!
