Hmm interesting video but Salinas is actually one of the most unaffordable cities in CA. It’s almost as expensive as SJ but with a weak market and extremely low wages. The homes should be priced similar to other agricultural hubs like Fresno or Bakersfield.
Hey Redgar. I agree with you, Salinas regularly appears in lists of the ‘Most Expensive Cities to Live in the US’ because of the disparity between income and home prices. It even beats New York City in that regard. Housing costs are so high the only short-term practical solution is more housing needs to be built, fast. The Salinas real estate market also suffers due to its proximity to the Monterey Bay and places like Carmel-by-the-Sea, which are so desirable and expensive it drastically raises the cost of homes in all other cities nearby. Vote for local politicians who support housing developers and investors.
1) Easy access to illegal street drugs 2) Historically high murder rate 3) Large gang population 4) very high violent crime rate 5) Very high property crime rate 6) Very expensive housing market 7) Poor public Education system 8) Large homeless population *There is so much more but if I told you then you would never visit*
Lol lived in salinas my whole life. Just got out but not too far lol salinas is 15 minutes away. I havent even seen the video. Just too funny because there arent really pros so wanted to see what is being advertised about it. Haha. About to find out. Just spent my life trying to leave that place. 🤣
1:22 minutes in had to pause. Lol from the outside id love to live here too. But i know the truth. Even the mouths and violence of the little children. Like 2nd graders in the local parks is just u believable and sad. Always had to find an empty park to play or cut our park time short because i didnt want my kid picking up on thay stuff. Its definitely not a place to raise good sons. So sad. Cant watch more.
I rather live in Fremont than living in Salinas. Salinas is a living hell with gang violence and a lot of arrogant people too. Plus, it is so expensive to live there.
Good job ! Always interested to see how someone with a different perspective views the Salad Bowl . Pretty dope to hear someone speak about Salinas especially from across the pond !
I rented a house off Cherokee dr. on the north side. My neighbors house appraised for $69,000 25 years ago. Wow, the percentage increase for the last 25 is astronomical compared to the previous 25 years. Thank you Silicon Valley, sarcastically for the new buyers, gratefully for the people who already owned a home there.
I lived in Salinas all my life and this was a very interesting video. I enjoyed it and for the most part you are right about everything. A lot of people are moving out/moving in and a lot of businesses come and go. Parking is also frustrating everywhere
Hello sir I follow your youtube channel regularly your content is very nice but due to some mistakes in your optimization your videos are not going viral if you want me to show your mistakes and help you can I talk to you
Great video, very interesting. I grew there for 18 years. Agree crime can be bad in Salinas, particularly in east side and maybe even some parts of north side. South side is generally lower crime.
Salinas ain't cheap lol
vivir en salinas es un lujo
Buddy really said affordable housing 😂😂😂😂

thank all the techies from the bay area they’re trying to take over and the communities do nothing about it to fight back
Forgot to mention it’s over populated for being a small city
"Affordable housing." You must be rich.
Salinas is a hell hole. Spent my whole life trying to get out
1) Easy access to illegal street drugs
2) Historically high murder rate
3) Large gang population
4) very high violent crime rate
5) Very high property crime rate
6) Very expensive housing market
7) Poor public Education system
8) Large homeless population

Con: you'll get your bike stolen from the property of your home
Monterey is my hometown. Throughout the video, I was waiting to hear him discuss gang violence in Salinas as one of the cons but zero mention.
go to Swamp Storiez for that
It reallly only happens in the east side

Thanks Fishy 🇬🇧
It's a dangerous place to live. Gangs,drugs,big homeless problem. Shootings almost everyday.
if you could get your blue sunglasses to talk you could be on da beach

It’s mad how much it costs to live here now. Plain and simple - we need more housing!
It's not cheap here. Stop inviting people to come live here.
Great video, may I use a small 5-second clip of this video for my small business? I live in Salinas and have a small business here.
Hey Jesus
Yeah absolutely use whatever you like 👍
Let me know if you want any raw footage so it hasn’t got the background music (831) 392-5609
@@movingtomontereycalifornia Thank you so much! :)

Stay away from the East Side of Salinas. Drugs, gangs, drive by shooting are common there
There is no amount of money that could convince me to live in Salinas. If you plan on living there be sure you are armed.
Its California there is Your Con
😂
Better learn to speak Spanish
I live about 1 hour 33 min from Salinas… would NEVER live there or suggest to anyone to move there.
Just another realtor pushing his own interest.
