the killing in stockton

The crime rate of stockton ca. is extremely horrible. Stockton is known for one of the highest of crimes about 5 thousand crimes are called a day. Stockton is one of the most dangerous cities in the world.

Rent is big money bills. Some people do not have big money bills so they can't even afford to live comfortably, which may result in homelessness. Raising the minimum wage does not help because higher money will result in higher demands from the community so everything will just cost more.

There is an insane amount of homeless camps and homeless people scattered throughout Stockton.

Our local government just sucks in general. All the scandals of previous and current mayors, the lack of care by SUSD, and the supposed relocation of criminals from Oakland to Stockton and whatnot. This may just be me only being fed negative news, but the people above us simply lack our trust in them, largely because we the people don't care either. Take this with a grain of salt I just wrote what I heard and remembered :)- Aidan

there r so much diversity and culture and history behind Stockton, and there are a lot of organizations, youth programs, and people who are actively trying to fix some of the problems listed here

a lot of people are becoming homeless and make the city look so trashy by living under the bridges, stockton seems so dirty because of how many people live like that. I understand houses and even apartments cost so much now days causing people to either not afford homes or loose them. Therefore they need to bring down how high the houses cost.

We hardly have any good natural animals and it is widely dominated by stray dogs and cats. I can't remember the last time I've seen squirrels roaming around. We have garbage everywhere so it is harmful to the environment and ecosystem since plants can't grow with plastic, paper and glass laying on the floor. It would be so cool to have a garden that sustains small animals since without plants/ the base of the food chain, there won't be the top of the food chain.

Our parks are not safe for children. Homeless people sleep there, people are under the influence, etc. It's sad because the people in our community should feel comfortable and safe.

Though it might be a little late, Ethnic Studies has made an impact on me and various others who have taken it or are taking it. To have it removed without proper reason is unjust, and should be addressed accordingly by students, teachers, and the people. -Aidan
