QFT. If you don't like 804, don't make a thread about it. Just get the fuck out and shut the fuck up (either order is acceptable, but its preferred if you shut the fuck up first.)

 

the band 'hate 0 four' from the early/mid90s had lyrics that called richmond fist city
RICHMOND REAL LIFE. NO PITY. RICHMOND MEAN STREETS. FIST CITY.

 

Before I moved here, my wife and I were traveling through Richmond o I-95 on our way back to South Florida, (home), and I asked her, "who in their right mind would live in this shithole?" We both laughed and drove south to paradise.

Fast forward two years and guess where we live? Turns out we all have our price.
This place isn't all that bad. If you think about it, where else can you be so close to the ocean and the mountains other than California? I must say that riding a motorcycle is far more fun here than in Florida.

I've lived all over the place. Every place I lived had bad sections and good sections. I feel that anywhere you live is as good as you make it out to be.

If you hate it here, move. Sit down, decide your likes and dislikes, make a decision and move. Life is too short to be miserable.

 

I love it. The 804 is my home. (The streets can be kinda shitty though)

 

This should be quoted everytime someone starts a thread about wether they'll like it here, or they already hate it, or what have you.
Richmond is what you make of it, heaven or hell.
