Stockton, California. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly (Episode 2)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Join me for Episode 2 of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly where we explore a vast area of Stockton, California looking for the signs of optimism in this poor city that takes an overbearing reputation of being 150% TERRIBLY HORRIFIC from the majority of America / media when I personally believe that % is decently far off.
We find some enlightening good in the venture but also some heartbreaking terribleness as well. We research the bad side strictly for awareness and to encourage positive change from public and the city. Homelessness, gang activity and poverty are everyday issues this town possesses. On the other hand, there are some very nice/safe neighborhoods that we find in the north side. Morada has some million-dollar mansions in the countryside of the town! Embrace the contrast with me!
In this episode, we cover the Morada Lane area on the northside, explore an ominous abandoned K-Mart property and swiftly cruise through the Southeast side of town where the up and coming rapper, EBK Jaybo is from. In the Garden Acres neighborhood, we identify various factors that show a serious gang issue in the neighborhood between the Nortenos and Surenos.

Moved back to stockton from Sacramento last August. Its not what it used to be when i grew here in 80s-90s. Still needs alot of work. I remembered we used to stand on needles all littering the grounds everywhere at our bus stop around the stanislaus and church st areas. Used to be a crackhead park around there. Iykyk. Now theres all new development homes and all nice. If only ppl knew what ive witnessed and how many things that went down right where there house was built
Very interesting take. So you’re basically saying that you believe Stockton has shown major signs of improvement over the decades? Glad to hear! Many will disagree with this but you’re the experienced resident at the end of the day. Thanks for the info
Wow. Not the same as it was 40 years ago? You don't say. Color tv now? Compooters and them smart phones😂
@privateeyetravelguy some things have improved and some things has gotten worst. Imo. Kinda hard to pin point exactly what.
@danielfiore8865 pretty obvious the tech from my time to now has changed lol.
Oakland is worse than both combined 😂
The Kmart has been purchased by another person and is getting revitalized into an Asian SF supermarket. Clean up and landscaping is now under way.
Wow. Crazy good info. I guess I got out there at the perfect time before she goes bye bye. Awesome building / property
Thanks!
My husband and I lived in Stockton from 90-94. We moved there from San Diego when he was offered a police officer position and I was offered a nursing position at St Joseph’s Hospital. His family lived in Stockton so we were happy that we were moving so close to family after so many years away. I had never been there but he had lived there from the 60’s through the 80’s. His only warning to me when we moved there?
“It’s not exactly how it seems to be…”
Quite a cryptic warning.
And it took me 3 months to fully understand what he meant.
A sh*t pit!
We lived there for 4 years before realizing how much worse it had actually gotten. Especially with him being a police officer. Never live where you work.
We wound up moving to a small town 35 minutes away. Still close enough for a doable commute but far away enough to, well, just be away!
And this was the 90’s. It’s far worse now but we are now both retired so breathing much easier!
Anyway, this is my long round about way of saying to anyone considering it:
DONT EVER move to Stockton!!!
Stockton has some of the most corrupt cops since the late 80s Stockton PD a tank of human feces corruption in dept Stockton is bad enough n then those corrupt cops make it worst
I'm in Stockton all my life and i agree 😅,,,,all four corners people been shot here,,
I live in the North side of Stockton, there is another dangerous area in Stockton, which the south west side of Stockton, a park called Louis Park on Monte Diablo Ave, near Pixie Woods Park, and also right by Freeway I-5, which it's a territory of the blood Asian street gangs who commit murders for blood against their emenies. Stockton mostly gets more dangerous during the night.
Yes, Louis Park is a well known rapper’s area and is pretty darn rough. I think he’s had RUclipsrs come through there for tours.
right he needs to go back at night ,
Weston ranch has just as much if not more shootings than some of the rougher and older parts of Stockton. Especially the lil shopping center and at every one of the 3 parks there there’s been multiple homicides over the years. That being said RIP Tall T!
Damn, that’s unbelievable to me! Weston always seems pretty quiet and the vibes are pretty decent there! Newer housing similar to the Morada Lane area, kinda tucked away in it’s own world too. That Food 4 Less shopping center is INDEED rough AF though! RIP to your partner 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yep. Now the ghetto hood areas are nicer and safer than the once lovely neighborhoods.
are you sure about that?

Bruh every city has their challenging if you don't like here bounce move back from where you came . We content cause we got family here so yall can think yall think... we don't need more negativity we don't care..
sorry2 break the news to you but there's no good/bad side of stockron living here out north is no better than living out south of Stockton and Stockton isn't all that bad born in raised here in mudville California lol♥
Lol! So you’re basically hinting that all of STK is bad.. everyone is entitled to their own opinion so keep up the freedom of speech 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I live on morada west just off the 99 on the semi new houses . It’s super calm . People even jog at night and my tapestry park is always clean
Drive around at night lol. I lived in Stockton for 5 years and worked in a bank there for 20 years. Just stay away from the bad neighborhoods at night and you’ll be fine. I never had any troubles living or working there. Now when my son got old enough to go to school, we bailed and moved to Lodi. There was no way he was going to public school in Stockton lol
Lol I’d imagine the ratings are pretty bad huh.. maybe an idea for episode 3. Brandin Cooks went to Lincoln High just to note.
@@privateeyetravelguy Lincoln High is one of the better high schools in a decent neighborhood
Born and raised in Stockton and been seeing the dramatic decline everyday. Most issues i see has to deal with the homeless. There is literally almost no public park that doesn't have tents or someone tweaking.
Sad! Similar to the theft issues notated at Raley’s, this seems to be a state wide issue rather than just a Stockton predicament. CHANGE is indeed needed
Your perception of our home town is skewed… pretty houses in small parts of town don’t change the crime. Some of the areas you’ve shown are known for being just as scary. It’s not “social media”. My dad lives down the street from that Raleys, and just down the street from the mansions in morada… fox creek is a few blocks away, and we hear gunshots NIGHTLY. My dad had bullets whiz right past him. The el rancho? Porn plays on one of the channels and is HIGH drug and prostitute traffic. It’s all bad, it’s just about HOW bad.
I do wish we could live on the East side of 99 of Morada, but with inflation, no one is getting in there now, unless you have BIG money. Probably the only place I would consider living, since it’s just on the outskirts. You also mention people raising a family here, I wouldn’t rely on looks of neighborhoods alone. The schools are really rough, unless you have private or charter schools. Growing up in stockton and with children of my own, never will I raise my children there.
Insane Intel on the El Rancho lol.. I guess the sign is legitimately the only good thing coming out of the property!
Unfortunately this is the exact predicament millions of Americans are in! Best of luck in your future home search 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
That Kmart was not abandon in the 70s or 80s.
Someone claimed early 2000’s in the comments. No confirmation yet 🧐
@@privateeyetravelguy 2007
I live in California but i would Never move to Stockton or Sacramento.
Poor baby
Sac is A LOT better than Stockton
Why the hate for Sacramento? Sure, there's some not-so-great areas, but overall, it's got more good than bad to it.
But Stockton? Yeah, it's a place I'll pass through for long distance drives, but would definitely not live there.
I rather live in Stockton than to live in SCLos Angeles
Western Ranch is one of the worst neighborhoods in Stockton. All the bay area moved to Western Ranch.
Can't leave anything outside. The people have to be there own neighborhood watch.
This is the last straw about Weston Ranch. 100% will be featured in Episode 3. Many comments about the neighborhood that deserve clarification. Thanks for the push 👌🏼👍🏼🙏🏽
Western ranch is trash. Every section family in Oakland moved there.
It's Westin ranch,
And it's about as good as you can get in this miserable city 😂
the city was going around every neighborhood out here and posting warning flyers on every car that was parked along the sidewalks saying that whoever owns the car(s) parked out front had 3 days to either get rid of it or park it in our garages or else they will be back to tow them away this was several months ago that's probably, why there really isn't any cars parked next sidewalks???
Thanks for the info! I do honestly think that’s just the way that Valley Oak neighborhood is at all times though. Top 5 cleanest hood in STK in my book.
Actually stay in Stockton, driving through it won’t teach you anything, you will see even the nice areas have problems, those gated areas, most people are afraid to leave them. You didn’t even show a lot of the bad of Stockton, 27:10 and on is how a lot of Stockton looks.
A UOP student basically said the same thing in Episode 1 commentary. It’s very unfortunate. This fear isn’t just a Stockton issue though, it’s a state wide CA issue due to soft laws. I’m sure plenty of San Francisco residents feel the same way living in a famously “beautiful” city.
thats all this guy does...goes in the bad places and bashes them... gotta make the bucks
Bruh don’t know nothing about my city go to boss track go to Louis park valverdie park go out east to the east side southeast bruh don’t know lol
💯
I grew up in Stockton. I now work in West Hollywood and live in Echo Park. Stockton is just depressing.
I know about Echo Park! Nice! Two different worlds indeed lol
I live in Linden right next door but im in Ranch area & its nicer here but i definitely want to move out of california soon its just the entire state is horrible at this point
Ain’t that the truth. That’s why I mentioned the entire state of CA when it came to the locked doors at the local Raley’s. Theft is far too decriminalized.
Shoutout linden btw! Cool Aaron judge is right from that cool small town.
Stockton 209 gots it's good and it's badz. A lot to write about, 1 million stories #ThaDose
1 of the most polarizing cities in America 💯💯💯
@10:55 it was because of the bank not because of theft. The ATM lines would get to long and was causing issues with people accessing the store.
Interesting. So there used to be a bank branch inside of the K-Mart. Thanks for the Intel on that. The property was fascinating
@@privateeyetravelguy That was the Raley's on Morada that u mentioned they closed off the doors because of theft. There is a Wells Fargo inside those doors and the ATM's are located right there, during peek bank hours the lines for the ATM were long causing issues with people coming to just shop. Now you have to go threw the other set of doors to get to Wells Fargo. Ive been banking there for years, Raleys closed those doors of in like 2017/2018 if memory serves right.
Hit tapestry park right on Chianti on morada by the 99 even the park is clean
Yep I just checked it out on maps and most definitely one of the safer parts of STK!
As somebody who stays right by Weston ranch and is from Oakland ca trust me Weston ranch can get tricky because it’s so small but at night there’s a million f*ckin shootings and Stockton pd just lets them go until someone dies smh
Weston will 1000% be featured in episode 3 due to the demand! Thanks for the info.. hey, do you feel safer in Oakland or STK out of curiosity?
Weston ranch ain’t bad at all with the exception of shit hole food for less area lmao. Neither is the west side of 8th like 8th and Fresno and over by the old golf course. You should have went down Benjamin holt it’s pretty nice and also the nice houses along the waterfront. I’ve been out here 6 years and honestly it’s not even bad! I had way more issues in the South Bay.
Yes I’ve defended Weston Ranch numerous times in both episodes’ comments lol.. not that bad at all. Big properties!
Oh yeah and Ben Holt neighborhood is indeed nice. It feels college towney to me and all tree lined 👍🏼
No just Stockton just the valley in general
ok go back at night, and you'll see. do a part 3
Stockton isn't the good city this guy says it is! He's only going to certain areas in stockton, or in the stockton area. Those people that are from California and have a brain in their head don't go into places like Stockton or San Francisco or Oakland California looks can be deceiving. This guy is not from california, nor does he know what he's talking about.
Outside of the crime and politics, SF will always be a top 5 most beautiful city in the world in my book. And I sure as heck won’t let crime or politics stop me from visiting such a gorgeous city open to the public.
@privateeyetravelguy It's not so pretty anymore in SF. It's starting to look like Oakland, CA.
Yes! Don’t move to Stockton California. Is horrible and dangerous to live here. Move to east coast like Texas Florida Tennessee north and South Carolina! Is the best place to live and work!
Love the south! Although there’s some tough hoods out there too though. Lol
How many times you gonna show Kmart?!? Go to the Hazelton St, under the freeway on Lincoln St, or the blade at night.
I was right on the blade in episode 1 but didn’t put enough emphasis into it. I’ll return asap. I saw some bad domestic violence right in that area one time that made my blood boil!
That Corolla is boosted, but got t-boned lol
Every city has crime. If people think Stockton is horrible, try living in a poor city in the Midwest
Yes. I’ve been to Gary, Indiana before and STK isn’t on THAT level but it does come close in some areas. STK has a larger populous so your chances of running into something are higher.
One of my bff's lived on nightingale so I'd pull up anytime of night but I've seen some things over there but I'm not admitting it lol
Love My city Stockton!
They deleted what I said because I said what happened to Stockton and why😅 so much For Freedom of Speech
Interesting 🧐🧐🧐
underated channel you got here ✌
Greatly appreciate that! Nice name btw… very common in the beloved country of Japan 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
Only outsiders will think Stockton is all good and big k was abandoned in the 2000s.
That Big K should be declared as a historic landmark ASAP!
@@privateeyetravelguy yes it should
At least someone showed the good side of Stockton 😂
The cliche saying of “every town has a good and bad side to it” is factually accurate and deserves to be shown 👍🏼🙏🏽
We don’t want any more people moving to Stockton stay away
There’s an influx of migration coming into STK?
i live in that area he was walking in and go back at night youll see more cars parked by the curb. lmao during the day people go to work ,
Ain’t that the point though lol.. good areas = employed citizens , bad areas = unemployed citizens
I am a native to these parts and would like to offer to give the city wide tour with added commentary.
Stumble across this video on RUclips I live in Silicon Valley Mountain View california, and I would never live in Sacramento Fresno or Stockton
I bet millions of Californians have said the same thing lol. but due to the housing crisis / gentrification, I bet thousands have had to resort to migrating to survive!
Idk I lived in Stockton my whole life I just don’t understand all the negativity about it. Ain’t nobody gonna fuk with you unless you start trouble
Don’t start no 💩, won’t be no 💩

I h8 this miserable nasty place, I'm getting out & never coming back.even tho family is here 😢
Good luck on your move and prayers up to Stockton 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You should check out the guetto of Berkeley 😅 😂😂😂
That’s the 1st request I’ve got for good ol’ BERKELEY 💙💛💙💛
@@privateeyetravelguy in the mid 2000s it was a bit dangerous but now you get judged and talked down by skaters and emos 😂😂😂 still a bit dangerous 😂
I love your video. Classic. I love 40 south of Stockton. When you Read Fuck Ana. It Fuck Norte 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Thanks! And right on for the information on what “F Ana” truly meant in gang graffiti ! Lol
Get inside BrookSide homes.
I’ve been meaning to for sureeee! Easily a top 5 most upper echelon hood in STK
12:46 natural bueaty? We sure that not natural human shit on the wall?
Lol! That’s what I was thinking at first too but I’m 95% sure it’s mud from the planter box near side it 🥵🙏🏽
@privateeyetravelguy lol it's not uncommon in LA so 🤷
Dude you drove right by my cousin's house that's crazy fukin crazy lol 😮
Small world 🙋🏽♂️🙋🏽♂️🙋🏽♂️
Go to Oakland.
We got some great n bad things! Don't believe the hype! Im one of the hottest undiscovered Stockton artists just listen to one n only! These streets! Doing me! I can go on
Support this guys art and the good ol’ town of STK!
Westin ranch is not hood😂 it's so boring out here. I am from central so going from there to the ranch is lifeless
You didn’t even go to the hoods
You don’t consider garden acres hood?
No
@@privateeyetravelguyMy niggs you just went to Kmart on mariposa Rd to show the ghetto my niggs you GAY 😂😂😂
Weston Ranch is one of the worst neighborhoods in Stockton. The worst!!
Elaborate please… everyone keeps bashing poor WR!
@@privateeyetravelguy there are a lot of good people in Weston ranch, however there are also a lot of bad people there after dark. Hell, even in the daytime. Years ago, when Weston ranch was built, Oakland partnered with Stockton (Weston Ranch, Manteca, Stockton etc) and paid Oakland residents to move there. Worst mistake ever. It caused crime to increase throughout the valley ten fold. They bribed the residents with welfare and discounted housing, iirc. A crime occurs every 10hr 2min is Weston ranch. It has gotten better with more neighbor involvement, but it’s still not great. There are way better neighborhoods in Stockton. Lincoln village west, Lincoln village proper, Brookside, lake view, valley oak, Sherwood etc.
@@privateeyetravelguy the more low rent Bay Area people moved to the valley, the worse the crime has gotten. So bad. Weston ranch has crime daily!! My neighborhood does not. What more proof do you want?
