There were quite a few people that were living there to commute to work in San Francisco or Oakland like I was. Mainly because there weren't really any employment opportunities in San Pablo. It was the amount of crime that eventually sealed the deal for me. My car was broken into while it was parked in front of my house, and neighbors had even scarier stories to tell.
