Uh it's not that bad as long as you don't do stupid shyt. I've caught the bus around Richmond before and have fam there and nothing has ever happened to me. Oakland really isn't what it used to be at all, gentrification has changed a lot. You see white people riding bikes in what used to be the hood all the time, same with East Palo Alto. Vallejo and Stockton are a whole different story though
it's ratchet
Vallejo aint no where even in the same sentence as richmond or oakland stop that, vallejo just a lil step up from fairfield as crime goes and every other year fairfield be having more bodies than vallejo, and i would never in my life compare fairfield to richmond or oakland so you cant compare vallejo to them either
and stockton never was and will never be as bad as richmond, they treating stockton like chicago its all the news talk about, but they never talk about richmond anyway period, its fukked up there in stockton but it aint richmond..
EPA ain't really that bad anymore
Stockton got turnt up in tha new era... they weren't major back in tha real days...
I almost got my life took in EPA
just like 2 years ago(if even that long ago)
im not from richmond, I lived there (just moved out)
its calmed down these past few years, but from early 2000s to just a few years ago it was prolly easiest worst city in california
even with calmed down, it still be making those top 25 lists every single year
My pops told him to get the fukk out his car. It's kinda weird though because he's lived in a lot of hood ass cities like Gary, Chicago, Detroit but no one really fukked with him
and duck for cover* *gunshots in the background* 
that's f*cked up though.
