The Central Valley/San Joaquin Valley is, on the whole, pretty bad. But Fresno/Clovis/Madera/ is way worse on paper than it is in reality. The most damning thing about Fresno and its associated areas are the opportunities for young adults. Unless you're going into nursing or agricultural management, there's nothing there for you. There's a pretty heavy feeling of apathy amongst adolescents because of it. And because Fresno is actually a city and not some rural 5k pop town, its just tolerable enough for people to hang out there and feel that they're living part of the California dream.

Lotta people there have parents doing farm labor for a pittance, a pretty awful educational system, gang violence, and hilariously high teenage pregnancy, so they all get sucked in and stay to die a spiritual death.
