Living here in the small town of Carlsbad is just moderate living you can say. It's neither great or terrible, but I can say it is somewhere I would consider home. It's a cozy town where people just go through the motions and try to live peacefully.
Personally I haven't heard anything major in the category of crime. A few drug raids and car accidents but nothing drastic such as shootings.
It is great to live here in Carlsbad, the atmosphere and area is wonderful. I may choose to live here again once I am retired and ready to settle down.
