We were from a poor Asia country and have been here since 1998. Our kids have grown and long gone. We still are and want to be here for JC's characteristics such as : diversity of ethnicity, excellent schools, safe, nice/decent neighborhoods, convenient access by walking/driving to every place including shopping, hospital/healthcare, good eats. Thanks to the city administration and the people in the service sectors for improving the city to what it is today. Keep it up!

Amazing, my hometown gives me everything plus some. When in high school everyone complains that it lacks fun activities, but that is true of every American suburb. It is an easy drive north to the mountains and an easy drive south to the city! The successful adults and high-income living that embodies the community drives the younger generation to make high achievments and enjoy the commodities that they were grown up enjoying. Additionally it is a safe city with natioanlly ranked schools that produce multiple ivy leaguers every year.
There isn't much aesthetics. There is no central area... nothing that unites the community. The city is chopped-up like a Teppanyaki chef working at Japanese restaurant. I personally want to strangle whoever thought of the awful idea of putting ugly white cylinders in our roads to help guide drivers. Get it together JC counsel, you all need to be replace!
