Hayward

The Hills are nice…you know…where all the richy people live. Which my Aunt and Uncle happen to live there, and I thought it was beautiful. Wonderful neighborhood…unless you go into the bad part of town. And it’s only half an hour away from San Fran. Which is nice.

Well, I lived there for 11 years. It’s great place to skate, that is because cops don’t care. A great place to be yourself, and the radio station 105.3 is what you listen to when you’re hear. It’s awesome!

Hayward is simple and beautiful. Its not filled with skyscrapers and bridges but that what I love about Hayward. Its hard for people passing by to appreciate, but its beautiful in its own way and has more to it than it seems.

I’ve lived in Hayward, CA for about 6 years now as a homeowner and…it’s…okay. My particular neighborhood is near Shafer Park and Shafer School and it’s got a nice blend of folksy citizens that I don’t mind.
There are far worse places than this in the area. In fact, I wouldn’t call Hayward an urban area at all. You don’t see homeless, you don’t see furniture or appliances on the streets.
The weather is decent and the freeways are accessible.
Definitely not a city made for tourism but not a bad place to live.

I can’t see how Hayward could possibly be on your “must see” list when visiting Northern California, unless you’re visiting friends or family of course :)
