If you think Santa Clarita is nice now, you should have been here 5-10 years ago. I too live in Santa Clarita. Lived here for a looong time. It’s still nice, but not as nice as it used to be. Because of the insane housing costs in LA and even the Valley, people flocked to Valencia. Santa Clarita is the 6th safest city? It USED to be the 3rd! Even though in LA crime overall has dropped, in SVC it’s risen. If you build it, they will come, and boy they came. The traffic is worse there than it has ever been, the nice views are gone, (as the put homes where the mountains used to be) and many of the reasons I moved there in the first place are gone as well.
But where am I going to go, Palmdale?
Still, I’d rather live here than anywhere else in this area. Just seemed like a good time to vent!
