Living out here for 15 years and it was kinda rough like a decade ago but it's gotten way better with the updates to downtown and less crime now.

Thanks for featuring Hayward! Been here for almost 5 years now and so far so good! It's amazing to see how many development projects happening at the same time.

[@livinginthebayarea]

Awesome, @Eddie! Thanks for commenting here. I think Hayward is ahead of the curve when it comes to providing new housing supply.

[@MamaMailisha]

Your videos are very well done, Katie! Informative, relaxed, useful. You're knocking it outta the park, friend!!!

I'm new to move in Hayward. So happy to see the video talking about Hayward yayayayaya!

[@livinginthebayarea]

Thanks @Rebecca! More to come =)

I grew up in Hayward, but it's too expensive now.

[@Mf7d89]

Same born and raise. Too expensive and not the worth the price.

[@KonaLife]

Like the entire Bay Area isn’t? Even Livermore is more expensive than Hayward.

[@fjsever]

I wouldn't consider ANYWHWERE in California. Its over taxed there and crime is rampant!!!

[@gaelbedco9596]

Hi! Is the Mission Blvd/Mission Garin is a good area and safe area?They built a new community along Mission Blvd and I want to know If It’s worth the price for a condo townhouse style? Thank you

[@livinginthebayarea]

Hi @Gael, I always encourage people to do their own due diligence when it comes to crime, but relative to other parts of Hayward, the area has seen a lot of improvement BECAUSE of all the new development. There are tons of conveniences and shops along that part of Mission Blvd, and it doesn't feel too industrial. Of course the areas above Mission and further away from BART are less densely populated.

Thank you for the video. Really helpful. My wife and I are looking to buy a home in Hayward but we ate concerned about the Hayward fault line. Any updates on that front? Do you know if the newer constructions built to handle that?

[@livinginthebayarea]

Hi Shrey! of course. Thanks for watching. With every home transaction/sale, the Natural Hazard Disclsoure Report is required by the State of California. That report should at least provide whether or not the home is technically located in an earthquake fault zone and will also provide a soil liquefaction score. I am NOT a structural engineer, but modern building standards for foundations require concrete slabs reinforced by steel and foundations are designed with soil composition and earthquake probability in mind. Older buildings, common even in Hayward, are required to have seismic retrofit upgrades (anchor bolts, cripple walls, replacement or capping of brick foundations with concrete).

Is usa is safe for indian students like I am afraid from gun fires news please reply

[@livinginthebayarea]

HI @love Canada, California has much stricter gun laws than other parts of the United States, but that does NOT mean that California or the Bay Area does not have gun violence. I cannot verify the validity of the data from this site (www.gunviolencearchive.org/) but of course the more densely populated parts of the United States have higher rates of gun violence. Wherever you decide to move, I encourage you to do your own due diligence when it comes to crime using local law enforcement agency sites. Look at the places (and their surroundings) you plan to rent or buy on Google map street view. Check out neighborhoodscout.com. If you plan to move to the Bay Area, feel free to reach out again.

We do have a large Indian population in the United States especially in the San Francisco Bay area.

[@bradabbott4892]

Raised in hayward left the state in 2005, alot has changed our 50k home for 25 years is now worth 1mill really crazy.

[@fixedit8689]

Rough bumpy roads, property crime, car break ins, slow police response, average to below average restaurants, shopping sucks, capital of Mexico, traffic, ghetto attitude drivers, over priced houses and rents, poor school rating, dirty streets, poor city services (lack of response). Still want to move there?

[@livinginthebayarea]

Well, minus the derogatory comment about demographics, you've written the "Cons" list for many Bay Area cities.

[@vincespell]

Ok why does she look like a cuter Carmon Diaz!
