This is my last week in Hayward. We're moving out to Mountain House and I can't wait. I live just off of Foothill and I hear sirens, Harleys and loud ass music 24/7. Not only that, but in the years I've lived there I've had countless businesses around me be robbed at gun point. The bank across the street was robbed and the dude ducked into our complex to get away. The cops even used my balcony as a lookout. I've had my car broken into twice. My neighbor had his place broken into and robbed. My other neighbor has had countless items disappear out of his garage, including a good sized tool box and the keys to all his vehicles and home. I can't tell you how many times I've been stared down. My garage has been tagged and I caught some dude pissing on the side of it. We had a homeless guy living in one of our dumpsters for a while. Just this morning as I drove to work, the Budget Inn on Foothill was all blocked off by the SWAT team because an armed carjacker was barricaded inside.
So Hayward, thanks for the stories, but I will not miss you.

HAYWARD FTMFW ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif) ![[Wink]](wink.gif) ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
I grew up here and watched the city get worse and worse throughout the years ![[Embarrassed]](redface.gif) I've had a couple childhood friends who were killed during high school. I've seen and heard it all...but luckily, I never lived in a neighborhood infested in such crimes as you mentioned above. Now I live in a gated community (still in Hayward) and dont have a single care about getting my cars broken into or knuckleheads vandlizing my property. Although once you drive outside the gates it isnt the best, its defintiely not the worst.
Although I dont really fear the stuff that goes on in Hayward, I still dont plan/want to live here very much longer. I got two little kids and really want to move somewhere that has GOOD public schools ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

We were planning to move into a nice house in Tracy before we bought our current home in hayward but the convenience of living in Hayward overpowered having a larger home in Tracy. Plus, we have all our family and friends in the bay area soothe valley would get very boring for us real quick...

Cow shit, homeless shit. If you have to smell one or the other, I'll take the cow shit. At least I know the cows won't be breaking into my car.

I was born in Hayward and grew up in Fremont. I love the convience of the Bay Area, but that's about it. I moved to Tracy my junior year of HS and lived there for 10 years before moving back to the Bay Area. I know what the valley has to offer. My commute now from Hayward to Walnut Creek is 33 miles door to door. If I take the back roads, my commute is only 4 miles longer. But I have a lot of flexibility in my job so I can work from home, or any office in California. So I can swing into Stockton (reverse 29 mile commute) or do a crappy 24 mile commute to Pleasanton. Plus I have a company vehicle that gas is paid for.
The peace and quiet and the schools are a big thing. Having a place 3 times as big and half the cost as our condo in Hayward is another plus. Now my wife can stay home and watch the kid instead of paying for daycare. If I didn't have my kid, we'd probably stay in Hayward. I'm sure a lot of you guys don't have kids. Once you do, shit changes.

This is EXACTLY why I plan/want to get out of Hayward...primarily for the future of my kids. I work in Hayward and my wife works in Burlingame so that Valley is just too far of a commute for her, but maybe the Dublin area or somewhere along the peninsula would be ideal in the near future.

What else..dude got shot four times in the chest at a local bar...stolen cars abandoned on my street...oh and sometimes i hear gunshots. Ive lived here my whole life. When i graduate high school (two more months) im moving out to the valley to this nice ass neighborhood. yeeeee ![[dance]](graemlins/dance.gif) here i come white bitches...lol

I forgot to mention...another thing BAD about the valley is that all the scumbags from the bay area who CAN'T afford to live here, CAN afford to live there, so you'll be seeing a lot of shit out there too in no time I guess the higher cost of living in the bay area is somewhat good because it will slowly filter the knuckle heads away and into the valley
