Meth= gang activity. Anywhere you may be. It might not be a gang in the traditional sense, but unless u have one person in sun valley using the one pot method, chances are huge that there is gang activities of some kind. NV has dumped alot of thier public assistance programs, which is what i accredit them for having a lower crime rate than cali.

Seriously tho.....who wants to illegaly immigrate to a state that doesnt have welfare,e.b.t.,wic,etc? They want the free ride. Thats how the gangs can sit around cali on thier asses and b able to start whatever criminal enterprise they are getting into. Gotta get start up money somewhere after paying a coyote 3k to be smuggled here.

There is a main street that goes to and through Sun Valley (In Reno, it's called Clear Acre but turns into Sun Valley Blvd). Traveling that north, you'll get a sense that this really isn't the place to live UNTIL you reach 7th Ave. Turn right on 7th and take it towards the end, you'll start to notice slightly better neighborhoods. OR, keep going north on Sun Valley Blvd until it "ends" and turn left. Much, MUCH nicer neighborhood, relatively safe and quiet.

My mother lives in the relatively poorer part of Sun Valley and she doesn't seem to have too many problems with gangs or crime.

That said, unless you have a great paying and secure job, or a very large six-figure sum in the bank, do yourself a BIIIIIG favor and stay away from the Reno/Sparks area.

BTW, I forgot to mention yesterday that I grew up an hour south of Fresno and know about Fresno's gang problems, at least back in the 90s.

An inaccurate statement, the illegals come here to work, very few of them care about the gangs. That should be apparent from the very information you put in your post, they don't come for welfare, they come to work.

Gangs tend to be second and third generation immigrants.

Now you, as a good patriotic American get everyone who think like you and take the jobs from the illegals. If every good patriotic American who sits back and complains about illegals actually did something. Why then, the illegal problem would be solved, and you could credit yourselves for that.

Listen I live on 9th avenue in Sun Valley. I just recently moved here from Oklahoma. I've been to parts of North Tulsa that is far worse then Sun Valley. I literally live a few blocks away from Leon and that is the worst street. Give me a break. I have seen a biker gang presence in the area bu just mind you own business and they wont bother you. Graffiti is another problem I have seen but mainly punk kids trying to get there LOL's. Funny enough I haven't heard of a murder in the 4 months Ive been here. Sparks has had like 4 or 5 since I moved here. Sun Valley is a good place to start off cheap if you move to the Reno area. There are really nice houses in some places around here and yes there are really good deals on trailers.
