Life in Chico, California

This video is about what is like to live in Chico California. This is a interview style reflection on my time going to college and living there.

[@wuamerurg3649]

Since i’m going to Chico State College in 2022 I decided to watch this vid here from the city of Santa María. Looks really beautiful. I hope I’ll enjoy so thanks for posting this vid

[@Kiyan3100]

me n my family drove through chico many times going up to shasta, always thought it had beautiful scenery but never knew what it was like as a town. I'll tell ya, after visiting there last summer and seeing the whole town and all the nature spots, I seriously fell in love with chico. I'd even like to live there someday if I could, it's one of my favorite small cities I've visited, and coming from someone who's seen 8 different states and went around the world, that's saying a lot, and definitely prettier than Sacramento, unfortunately.

I love Chico, lived here on and over total of ~6 years Beautiful place, natural pristine parks...... but liberals and democrats encourage homeless drug addicts liberals don't help people get jobs, they hand out needles and encourage the homeless to sit in their tents and do drugs, spending all their money on fentanyl, funding the cartel which then targets kids, making new homeless drug addicts........so now I have to pick up trash because the city and homeless wont........... if not for me, Bidwell park would be covered in scattered trash

i lived in chico for two years and loved it. Everything in the video is on point. its pretty laid back and outdoorsy. I mean its the city of trees. the only downside would be the heat june-September (100 degree days ). If you can survive the heat then Chico is where to be

[@DansVoyage]

I totally agree!

[@somerandomguy7458]

It’s better than humid 90 degree heat

[@Brian_Moser1118]

Some random GUY oh yeah like the south.. disgusting weather out there

[@whocanseeyourname2699]

Thank you! I feel so blessed to live here,even after the fire. Had Sierra Nevada for dinner and went to bidwell park and downtown too,perfect date w hubby great vid

[@kaiu3714]

Same I love chico so much I have lived there my whole life and its so amazing

[@trisix99]

I was there for 2 days and wondered why I hadn’t been there sooner. It really is a unique place with a great vibe.

[@DansVoyage]

Yeah, it totally is. What was your favorite part?

I was born and I’m still in Chico. Too bad the mayor is corrupt. Going to Chico state for college.

[@jenniferlozano3229]

I live and love chico

[@linkhecometotown1290]

Ahh I know this video is old now but this was cool to see. I've lived in Chico my whole life but I plan to go to college elsewhere, and I can't imagine leaving. It's a great place.

[@Skymedc]

I was born and raised there. Moved away in the mid 90's because it just got too big. In my teeange years our population was15,000-20,000. The university pretty much took over the entire downtown which, if you were raised there, was very sad. I still miss it, but it's the old town I miss. Church bells on Sunday. The bells from the college. Mom and pop stores. The parks and the creek. I wouldn't let my kids go through the park by themselves now. In the 70's kids could take off on their bikes, be gone all day, and come home safe in the evening. It was safe.

[@Commbo]

I miss Chico so much

[@DansVoyage]

Me too. :)

[@joshualaw375]

Same man. I was born, and grew up there. Moved to Ohio when I was younger due to my father’s job. I’ve always wanted to go back, ever since the morning after I moved. If I could go anywhere in the WORLD, I’d go back to Chico.

[@Commbo]

Joshua Law I feel you. I’m from Saudi Arabia and I was born in Chico in enloe hospital. I moved back home when I was 3 years old. Then when I turned 18 I moved back to my second home Chico California to complete my collage. I lived there for 6 years and graduated in 2015. Now I have been in Saudi Arabia for 2 years after my graduation. Chico is the half of my heart. I will visit Chico for sure. ❤️

[@devanbmx1012]

this makes me sad because i loved that place and like he said it was super nice but then it overpopulated form the fire and we got kicked out so we move to las vegas last week

[@whocanseeyourname2699]

I'm sorry u had to leave,such a tragedy,I tell ppl everyone from chico was affected by that fire😭so much traffic now...

@@SeleneLaLamas Neither is Paradise, but I agree with you.

[@selectdave]

Sorry you had to move. Paradise is not the same anymore, but those people didn't have a choice...

[@wandaalexander1972]

Too many homeless bums begging on street corners..Its a little San Francisco

[@quentinclarke243]

You should see it now

[@blizzleberrydeluxe29]

@@quentinclarke243 decided on moving there for my girlfriend. Still preparing but was able to visit last week. Dude the homeless is out of control.. smoked a joint with a few and they all say the same thing. "My house burned down In paradise" but they all had track marks and one admitted he just got out of prison.. seems like an amazing little town destroyed by homeless. I didn't see any ghettos or hoods.. just middle class suburbs with a million bike tweakers. And Im not even talking about downtown.

[@quentinclarke243]

Sherwood 707 I am sorry about your house dude

[@quentinclarke243]

Oh I read that wrong

[@tremblence]

@@blizzleberrydeluxe29 There are definitely gang infested neighborhoods..... they just stay indoors during daytime, then show up at night to shoot up parties with stolen guns Check the news, there was a mass shooting just a few weeks ago......liberals and leftists are ruining Chico and everyone is finally understanding that

[@kadengriffiths3889]

i live in chico it is great there but the homless it out of hand now

[@jamesbassett1484]

I asked two Chico natives a question. It was: "Are people in Chico friendly?" They conferred for a while and their verdict was: "People in Chico are pleasant."

[@dannytweek4153]

They are friendly

[@dannytweek4153]

I’m born in Chico but I moved city j miss Chico my home town

[@wu7690]

No one in Chico is friendly. That would be completely false.

[@tremblence]

@@wu7690 What a stupid statement..... I think the only unfriendly person in Chico is YOU

[@kellykarcher7179]

@@wu7690I hope you're joking. If not, maybe you should try changing your attitude? The majority of people in Chico are super friendly.

[@ginawilliams9689]

Very nice video! Beautiful photography!

[@normastanley5853]

I used to go to school the there.. It was fun,,, but as I got older it was just too dam hot in the summer ..I did notice that I did not fit in anymore due to my age.. I am an old guy now.. The town it seemed had changed and it has grown and a little to crowded .. The cost of living there has gone way up..But I still like the atmosphere,, but at this age I need to be close to the hospitals...I have good memories of the town..It has changed but so have I...

thanks for the info on BIDWELL PARK

[@yoyoflow_0429]

I live in chico

[@tremblence]

I love Chico, lived here on and over total of ~6 years Beautiful place, natural pristine parks...... but liberals and democrats encourage homeless drug addicts liberals don't help people get jobs, they hand out needles and encourage the homeless to sit in their tents and do drugs, spending all their money on fentanyl, funding the cartel which then targets kids, making new homeless drug addicts........so now I have to pick up trash because the city and homeless wont........... if not for me, Bidwell park would be covered in scattered trash

[@saddekchett4628]

Amazing place how can i visit it knowing that I am an Algerian

[@DansVoyage]

Well you have to get a visa, if you’re traveling with an Algerian passport. You can do this at a US embassy or consulate. If you’re already in the States then no problem.

[@saddekchett4628]

Well thank you friend this take a lot of money I am sorry I am poor man thanks for time.

[@MrJFF411]

I grew up in Chico. My family left in 1999. I decided to move back last year, stayed in Chico for about 6 months and realized that it wasn't the same place i left 20 years ago. I Didn't care for all the Liberals that now live there. When I lived in Chico 20 years ago it was a far more conservative place. A lot of hunting, fishing and conservative values, but not anymore lol There are way to many homeless people on the streets now. It's gotten so bad the homeless have literally taken over Bidwell park. There is way more crime...way more gangs.... way more drugs... and a lot of mental illness now - When i went back i only lived there for 6 months and had my apartment broken into. I had a $800 Specialized bike stolen and my friend who is a local there would constantly have his mail stolen from people passing through towns. Half the traffic lights don't work correctly in Chico now lol. To say that Chico is a "Great" place is certainly an over statement. Especially now. You can't even really walk the streets at night alone now. Chico has become somewhat of a dangerous place lol Maybe 20 years ago it was a Great place to live. But definitely not now. I decided to leave and move to another State, it was the best decision i have ever made. Found a much better place to call home - God Bless Chico CA I Will Always Love You - Get better please !!!!!!!!

You’ve described nearly all of mid and interior California

[@thoushallbefree5387]

I heard there are mostly witchy/satanic people living there. Is that true?

I agree. As someone born and raised there. Its sad to see what the city counsel has let happen with the needle give away.
