I lived there for 11 years and still own property there for a vacation home! Beautiful and unique place.
I saw Temescal, but not Temecula, which now has over 100,000 residents, very low crime, great schools, great climate, wine country of SoCal, affordable housing, and about 1-1.5 hours to the beach, the desert or the big SoCal cities. Not even Superman would go to Moreno Valley to deal with their problems. Every since the closing of George Air Force base in the 1992 and then the housing boom and then the housing crash crime has increased a great deal every year.
And 1.6 m!million visitors, artist and a lot of film and music stars call Joshua Tree home… When I have been to areas that ranked higher on your so called scientific list that are actual hell holes you may need to visit and write facts not fiction… During the night there are a lot of disturbance. I think this person who put this list together is on the very young side. Like any other city, Hemet has it's nice areas and not so nice areas. Johnny Hendrickssays:
Look at Felton, also. Even though it might not have a lot of activities everybody is nice and polite and has one of the best middle and high schools in California.
