Question

i need to know which is a better place to live and please give a full detailed description.

im 18 turning 19 in 2 months and i want to move to either one of these 3 cities but am not sure which one is the right place to be.

and also i would like to kno if $5,000 or $6,000 would be good enough to live off of for 6 months or more until i found a good job out there because i know how cheap those 3 cities are compaired to the higher priced cities in California.and also which would be a good city for some one young like me to be and to also be around more people my age.

so if you guys can please help me i need to make a decision soon.

thank you.

Answer 1

Please don't move to Bakersfield. You're too young to give up on life, like that.

Answer 2

Actually all of these are considered third class communities to live in. That is why they are cheaper to live in than many other places.

Answer 3

First of all whats the rush to leave so soon? i would get a job and earn some more money b4 running off. And second of all Sacramento is sooo nice. but its also sooo expencive to live there.

Answer 4

Well, rents are high right now because people are losing their houses and they have to sell them and rent.  I heard each of those cities have problems...And your budget is around $1000 per month...once you take out rent, that's not much left (unless you have roommates??).  I think Bakersfield is worst (what else is out there??).  I know SB, and it's within an hour of LA, Orange county (and beaches), the mountains (Big Bear) and the desert (Palm Springs), so it has other options not too far away.  I'm not too familiar with Sac, but I do know the weather is better there  :)  Sorry , that's all I have to offer, but Good luck to you
