Question

What is the worst city in the San Francisco Bay Area and why?

Answer 1

Oakland

Richmond

Vallejo

CRIME, SHOOTINGS, MURDERS

Answer 2

Richmond

Answer 3

For now, I would have to say Vallejo because the city is bankrupt. No money to pay for anything. On top of that it has some area's that you do not want to go at night or even during the day. It could be a great city if the managers turn things around.

Answer 4

It really depends on what you consider to be the worst.

I would say Richmond would pretty high on the list because of the Violence and lack of culture etc.

Vallejo would rank pretty high on the list of worst cities in the bay area too. The city is bankrupt and have a lot of poverty and crime also.

But some people would consider the worst place someplace like halfmoon bay because it is small and a long drive around limited roads to major cities so like I said it depends on your definition of worst city...

Answer 5

Is Campbell considered the Bay Area?

Answer 6

Depends on what you want

You are most likely to be randomly shot in Oakland, but they have better weather than South San Francisco for sure.

Mountain View is kind of a featureless wasteland (strip malls from end to end), but the location/access to most of the Bay area is superb.

Define "worst"

Answer 7

anything in the 925 area code

Answer 8

I will pick Richmond because of its high crime rate.  

Answer 9

Vallejo and Oakland are the worst about crime.  

Answer 10

Oakland is pretty d**n bad.

Answer 11

Well all the cities here have there good and bad points so I cant really say which is the worst. I live in Richmond and i really wouldn't recommend the city but I don't think its all that bad.
