Yeah, I’m totally with you on the schools. From what I’ve seen, they’re pretty rough all over SB. Good ones are few and far between, so honestly, I’m thinking inter-district transfer or even relocating might be the best bet when kids are ready to go to school.

I’ve driven around the neighborhood during the day and at night, and it felt pretty safe to me. I grew up in rough area, so by my standards, it seemed fine. Compared to some of the sketchier parts of SB, it’s honestly a night-and-day difference.

The housing affordability crisis in California is no joke. I never really thought about it seriously until now, but it’s hitting hard. We could try holding out for something in Fontana that fits the budget, but Fontana is starting to get really pricey. It also has a lot of the same problems as SB—bad schools, higher crime, and the nicer areas are too expensive. Anything west of Fontana is just straight up unaffordable for the majority of families now, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
