Cons: bums, crackheads, stupid people
Pros: Idk
The pros are the cons.
Dude have you been to SF or LA? Bums and crackheads are 10x more prevalent in big cities in CA. Not saying Fresno doesn’t have its faults, but as someone who’s lived in Fresno my whole life, homeless presence is clearly worse in bigger cities
@@nathanhafke3259 I still hate that place
That’s everywhere kid
@@kidcurry2273 I forgot the sun. The sun is adamant on destroying that place
Tower is pretty cool. Also Fresno has the best Japanese restaurant on the planet. So they have something going on.
Which restaurant? Thx
Edoya?
Sakura Chaya was my reference. I think Edo-ya is the same ownership, or at least it used to be.
1:35 - weather
2:22 - real desert in summr, 100 n more degrees.
4:45 - ave. home price is about $345,000.
Made it look good. Lifelong LA County, now recently in San Bernardino County. The outdoor acreage make it look good.
i always find it funny how people from Fresno always have the "small town mentality" shown in this video. The traffic is not bad compared to the "big cities pf California." Fresno is the 5th largest city in California. Right behind Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose and San Francisco. Probably why Fresno is one of the few largest cities in America that has no professional teams or anything else that most big cities offer.
do you think it could be because unlike other cities, Fresno is not bordered/surrounded by many many other cities?
Lakes (with little to no water because of the drought), having a car is a luxury most can’t afford anymore. Since the legalization of pot, whole neighborhoods smell like the stuff, and that doesn’t even include those driving while using … it’s always fun to follow them in traffic (that last part was sarcasm. It’s awful). There are definitely nice places in Fresno and Clovis but you have to be the wealthy elite to live there. I lived there for more than 13 years in a neighborhood that was okay moving in…but when I left, the police helicopter was overhead regularly and on two occasions I came out of my my home to SWAT canvassing the area with their guns drawn. I had to work more than one job to make ends meet (I have a college degree and had more than a decade of business/leadership and education experience). My job paid well, but cost of living was too much. Health care was poor here. Crime was rising everywhere. Some people actually like snow and rain … not realizing there will be weeks (not simply reaching 100) of 100+ weather is also a huge con especially when the state of California can’t keep the power on all the time and the cost of energy to keep a house cool in that heat is also a luxury many can’t afford. 🤷🏼♀️. How about the homeless issue? Homeless camps everywhere (including Woodward Park). Comparing to the state average for a house needs to take into consideration the rate of pay. Because living in Fresno is less than the big cities, the wage definitely reflects it… so it is comparable.
Great video! Too few views!
Cost of living is Rising property taxes are uncomfortable, Fresno is Flooded With Cheap inexpensive Labor from South of the Border Rents are High compared to Wage Compensation, Immigrants are Represented quite well Here! POVERTY POVERTY POVERTY! Very Hot uncomfortable Summers Poor air Quality Very bad for Asthma and Bronchitis Sufferers ! The thing I like about Fresno is Retail Shopping and Thrift Store Shopping Yard and Estate Sales ! Not much to offer Job Seekers who want Jobs other than Retail Restraunts Medical and Education Work! I hope to relocate from Fresno soon ! God Bless those who live Here,Homeless numbers are very High Property Vandalism and Theft is High ! These Women underestimate Road Traffic at times! Very cool video Sincerely Thomas Raymond.
The fog is so bad its almost impossible to drive in. Housing is affordable but the job market sucks big time.
A lot of violet crime.
Democrat run.
Homeless people don't have a lot of access to services.
I would never move back there.
What Democrats are running this town? The last 4 mayors have all been staunch Republicans and Trump supporters.
Democrat run meaning the state.
Pros:
Low/ no traffic.
Cost of living cheaper compare to LA/SF.
Job opportunities (Because everyone leave Fresno. You guess why they leave).
Cons:
it's Fres NO. It is not good.
It's either very hot (116) or very cold, or smoky because of fires.
It is very boring compare to cities like LA/SF.
Weather unhealthy most of the times.
Full of potholes.
Dangerous (High crime rate). Yes it is safer than Detroit, LA, SF. but it is not considered a safe city at all.
Best thing about living in Fresno: When told to go to Hell we answer, " What do you mean go"?
Fresno needs a major league sports team franchise, minor league usually don't last
😂😂😂
there are no pros of fresno
Pesticides in the air
Cons of Fresno:
Its Ghetto as fuck!
Fresno no thanks moved away 22 years ago will never be back
Cant forget the tweakers everywhere
🤣
Majority of california tbh
@@Keyon_Wilson ikr San Jose California has that problem bad and its supposed 2 be a tech and money city
:o
Con of Living in Fresno:
1. It's Fresno.
We have cleaner streets than most California cities. And also even though we have a higher crime rate than most us cities, we have some of the lowest crime rates in California. While there is hood, I think my only complaint is the summer heat.
Mexicans
@@hoppingh907 Fresno has dirty streets. Not sure what you’re talking about
@@californiamade5608 I didn’t say we have clean streets. I said we have cleaner streets than most California cities, idiot.
@@californiamade5608 😂 homie got you
I was very fortunate to live in Fresno in the late 1980s before being posted to Tokyo. I'm British and Fresno was my first time living in the States. I loved the city and still have a special place in my heart for it.
Fresno/Clovis hold a special place in our hearts as well!
I was born and raised in LA for 27 years. Moved to Fresno in September 2019. Best decision I ever made. I won’t be going back to LA.
Raised in fresno county. Moved out to the midwest. Have never looked back. Best decision ever made
California is trash
@Dick Trickles lol why are you so mad. I lived in South Central and was poor as fuck. I'm pretty sure I did not "create" anything as I was too busy trying to survive and obtain an education.
@Dick Trickles Dam you are so right they destroy one city and state then want to keep moving and keep destroying
@@him12538 It’s not trash per say. In Northern California, that shit is straight forest and wilderness. Southern California is straight up desert. Then, it has mountain rages, and in central California. It’s just farm land and mountains.
Needs more green space, got plenty of land to build them. Everyone needs parks. Dont forget Madera Speedway and Kings Speedway
Thank you for this awesome video! I feel you described Fresno very accurately. I was born and raised in Fresno and I love it here! I love Fresno because it meets the national average cost of living (so its way cheaper compared to other parts of California like you mentioned), its a big city with lots to do, and its centrally located. Plus I much prefer the sunshine over the rain 🌞
We are so glad you enjoyed the video. We love it here too!
The people who complain about Fresno have never been to the High Desert/Inland Empire. Zero point of reference. 😑
Disagree, Fresno is like a republican San Bernardino. It's filled with bad drivers, crackheads, and ghetto business store fronts on main streets. Fresno could never compare with the luxurious cities like Riverside, Rancho Cucamonga, Murrieta, or Claremont .
@@Senor-Azul luxurious in what way.
Right?? Lived there most my life 🤦🏻♀️
@@Senor-Azul Gross, I lived in Riverside county for 16 years. It’s disgusting 🤮. You want to see a tweeker village? Check out Hemet, Paris, Homeland.
@@alejandrasanchez1402 I’m curious too 🤔 . I can’t even think of a luxurious area. Temecula has even gotten worse, Menifee is okay, Riverside is trash, Corona is gross.
Didn't mention crime. Gangs, property crime, drugs, etc.
What about the GANGS?
I used to work at a nightclub in tower district during the 90s Fresno had a small scene back then!
I laughed at all of this. These people are crazy.
Its hot nearly all day. Throughout the year triple digits. The housing is expensive. Its dirty, the job market is poor, bums and homelessness all over.
The only thing they got right is location we are nothing more than a quick stop to going to better places or vacation spots.
People are nice? Lol
Would you say it’s worse than La or about the same?
Thank you for making the video. I might move to Fresno and was looking for some information. You two helped me get a better view.
We're glad you enjoyed the video Basi. Feel free to reach out if you'd like additional info. We're adding neighborhood videos to dive a little deeper into the Fresno/Clovis area.
@@sharkparty1027 Google any other cities news. Fresno isn’t too bad.
usually i support comments against da portia hughes gangs anti quiet and number rule speech against innocent bagger in lemoore so condemnation on da ph gang, but this a nice vid none da less k im out
affordable housing😂😂
Affordable for California
Fresno is pretty underrated. People complain about crime, yes there is crime but crime is in every city.
As you notice in this video they are a real estate group. If you move here you will regret it.
Nobody loves living in Fresno county. Unless your in the Sierra Nevada’s like shaver lake. But, Fresno. No. It’s miserable there.
Hello, would either of you two ladies know a perfect upscale catering service company in Fresno you would like to recommend I’ve tried searching, but what I do see is not exactly what I want.. 😊
Try Pardini’s Catering. They cater a lot of events in Fresno. www.pardiniscatering.com/
What about all the meth?
Definitely entertaining listening to how white people view fresno.
Northern Fresno is very nice if you shelter yourself from stuff like downtown. Like river park and so on
@@user-ov1ep5rf2l of course it's nice, but the sad thing is people like me can't even walk the neighborhoods without having the cops called on us. It's just scary. I'd rather walk the whole Kings canyon and Belmont area at night. I'd feel safer.
@@rballadarez dude thats sad
If God gave the world an enema, Fresno is where he would put the hose.
Read the comments...if you find Fresno and its inhabitants so distasteful...you probably don’t have the chops or nuts to live here much less thrive here.That was a rather swift overlook of diversity. Yes we are very diverse...and our diversity is packaged in the historical segregation of minorities into separate and unequal communities of people of color with its attendant hoods and Gang activity. The monied live well. Racial tensions are rising and I expect an horrific confrontation in the near future because of Fresno’s storied propensities for violence. But it’s home... I suppose I could afford to live anywhere but there is this thing called Tierra here, and another called Familia, and another called Homie...you get the point. Bien Venidos and keeping it real.
Lived and worked there for 29 years. You can keep it! yeah I know It is not as bad as LA.
Half of you are SF Giants fan other half are Dodgers fans.
You guys can't decide which to love.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
2. Travel distance from Fresno 2 San Diego? Also, distance in miles?
2. Do homes hav basements or is there watr undr like in San Diego?
3. Job outlook?
Excellent video #FamousLee559
Thank you Lee!
I don't see what is so culturally diverse about the City of Fresno which is 51% Mexican and 26% Caucasian so you figure out what kind of town that really is
Fresno offers a number of cultural events that are representative of its inhabitants. For those who want to check out the actual demographics, here is a link: www.census.gov/quickfacts/fresnocitycalifornia
If it was gentrified it would be pricing people out
i heard theres alot of crime rate there no? Not sure but people said nothing to do there
Lower crime rates than most cities in CA. La, Sanfran, Sac, Oakland, They all have a higher crime rate than Fresno
@@hoppingh907 stop spreading fake news dude. Fresno has higher crime rate and worse drugs
@@californiamade5608 ya theres legit meth in fresno lol and cocaine dude they got acid and shit to
@@hoppingh907 They are much larger cities too. If Fresno keeps growing, it'll catch up with the crime rates of those cities.
@@cosmic1920 You do know how crime rates work, right? It is the number of crimes per 1000 people. It's not how many crimes there are in total.
💯👌😎👌💯
I like the video
But the sound quality is little distracting…
These two look like the stereotypical Californian
Not Fresnoan people, more like La Cañadaen, Burbanken, and Castro Valleyan
Hi Lynette and Tracy. Loved your video. Gave me a lot of insight. I’m a teacher and am looking for a teaching job in Clovis Unified and Fresno Unified. I’ve been living in Southern CA and rent is extremely high with very small square footage. I like the fact that you can rent an apartment or townhome in Fresno for thousands less than in southern CA. Thanks for the info!
Hi Barb! We're glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. We look forward to having you here in Fresno/Clovis. Feel free to reach out if you need additional info.
do not move to fresno, its honestly horrible here and the kids i went to school with were horrible too, my 9th grade year my english class bullied the teacher so bad that she quit, its honestly a horrible city, clovis is no better
@@boogiewoogie6086 is there a city in all of United States that is not dangerous for your life? I ask as a European, because every time I read people discussing American cities there is always someone saying "it's a dangerous place to live". I'm curious.
You will be fine especially with the smaller near by cities. School employees get paid more than city workers. However don't get me wrong it has its negatives but what city doesn't
@@lostaliniere3848 Clovis has like one murder a year lol they have the normal stuff like homes and cars being broken into but it's usually done by homeless tweakers. Fresno had like 23 homicides last year but how many of those were random acts pshh maybe 1. You would have to worry about being hit but a drunk driver more than being shot, that's one negative Fresno has a bunch of drunks
is it dangerous to live in there for student to take my degree mam
Like any city, there is an element of crime, however, Fresno and Clovis are some of the safer cities in California. Both the Clovis and Fresno Police Departments have crime maps on their websites that can help you.
Hey people, don't come or move to Fresno.
Don't worry, the sane among us won't. Not ever.
Pro blonde girls 💘
Meth
@@sharkparty1027 Oh so thats where all your misinformation in the reply sections come from lol
Tesero viejo. !!!!!!!!! I know. But its 8 minutes from river park.
Do you live in tesero Viejo? How's the neighborhood? And crime rate?
@@pilyomotoride7781 yes and we had. Over 200 trick or treaters. We have armed security. A Seriffrs office and pre k thru 8th grade. Its awesome
They're just starting to build the high-school.
Crime rate is surprisingly low.
@@pilyomotoride7781 its nice to have nice things and not stolen. The guards here carry 40 cal handguns. And don't screw around. Snd it's nice to have a fire dpt 30 seconds away. And sheriffs office.
This video would be so much better without you two in it. Love the voice over and the backgrounds but if the focus is on Fresno, then why are you front and center the whole time?
I mean even when you show the beautiful homes, you still have to be standing directly in front of the screen on some low budget green screen.
Video would be 10/10 without the green screen. Great job
I must defend Fresnans and their work...fuck you ...it’s fine they are members of the community...it’s Fresno...homey...a little bit country and a whole lotta G...I give the Ladies a “10” and fuck your cheesy great job shit #MauMau559.
Your channel is underrated and you 2 have been doing a great job. Especially the lifestyle vlogs you do about some of the areas. A lot of realtors who do other type of videos like that have become more clickbait than anything, but yours actually provides good content, info, and footage without pushing the whole realtor thing too much. I hope you do more area/neighborhood vids and show casing the area with new/real footage with drone shots to really showcase the area.
Thank you Moises! We're adding more neighborhood videos and the suggestion to add drone shots is great!
@@sharkparty1027 looks like Fresno is pretty good to me www.gddlaw.com/2016/05/12/cities-california-dangerous/ fresno violent crime is lower than LA, SF, Sac, Oakland, Long Beach, and a bunch of other cities that were thought to be more desireable yet still more expensive than Fresno. My wife and I both make 6 figures and trying to relocate to a much cheaper BIG city since we can work from home so we can live lavishly. Fresno seems like the perfect candidate
@@sharkparty1027 I live in Fresno. Just don’t go to the crap parts and you will be safe. I live in a not so nice part and I can say that as long as you keep to yourself, you will stay safe. If you are up near woodward park, those are some of the nicest communities I have ever seen. Just don’t go south of Shaw unless you live in Clovis and you will be fine.
This is the BEST!
I think that the city of LA is way much better than Fresno even though Fresno and LA are 2 cities far apart as we are located in the South and they are in the North Central Valley.
All Fresno has is nothing much but dirt as for us in LA we have a lot of high rise buildings and a larger population of millions of people living there
We have a lower crimerate than LA, we are a big town but with the feel of a small college town, Our traffic isn’t so bad, and there are really noce parts of town if you go to north Fresno or east Clovis.
@@hoppingh907 Yes I did notice that about Fresno last time I was there that Clovis is a nice beautiful place in Fresno...
However, I was expecting to see high rise taller buildings skyscrapers in Downtown Fresno like the ones in Downtown LA and New York City
@@sharkparty1027 I hear the coke in la is very strong
@@ericalcazar6137 San Francisco has a better skyline, buildings, than LA anyways
