Oh that's cool that you're from Sac. I've only been in Sac for almost 3yrs now. We moved from Richmond, got too dangerous. LOL just kidding! I have family in El Cerrito so I'm out there often. Like someone else said don't drive down Cutting Blvd.

Oh, that's it, definitely stay away from the Iron Triangle area. My HS classmate is El Cerrito PD. He's got some stories.....

by the way i lived in sacramento for 5 years and then moved to connecticut and have lived here for 6 years now.

thanks for everybody's opinion. i checked the crime rate or richmond compared to neighboring cities and you guys are right, richmond has much higher rate of crimes especially car theft. good thing i was able to back out from the richmond apartment since i haven't signed the lease agreement yet. what i'm gonna do now is just get a hotel for a week or two while scouring the area. it will take about two weeks to ship my coupe so i guess i'll miss the meet. oh well.
