Worst things about living in San Bernardino

Look, I love San Bernardino, but let's be real about the downsides:

Public transit needs work
Winters are harsh
Crime in certain neighborhoods is a real concern

Don't get me wrong, it's still a great place overall. But people should know what they're getting into.

Weather is the biggest factor for us. Four seasons are nice, not too extreme either way.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

Rent tip: look for places in January-February. Prices drop and there's more availability.

I work in finance and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 3 months.

If you can afford it, Old Town is the best place to live. Period.

Don't sleep on Maple Heights. It's up and coming and still affordable.
