Overall, San Bernardino is a good place if you live in a good area. There are some places in San Bernardino that are filled with gang hostility, violence, and homeless. However, there are places that are filled with tranquility, numerous of job opportunities, healthy living, and good nightlife. One thing I really enjoy about San Bernardino is that there is this organization that assists in serving the poor and homeless, often giving out food, water, and even some shelter places in order for the homeless to live better. Nevertheless, there are many schools that reside in gang affiliated areas, which I think should be changed in order to provide safer school environments to students. I began actually living in the area this year, but have been around the area for years now, and if you want to visit an area where the community helps each other out in many ways regardless of wealth, visit San Bernardino.
What can I say about San Bernardino? The area isn't particular much to be around of, and sure, there's the San Manuel Casino resort and other employers around the area and there's nothing much compared to say Fullerton or Riverside.
The city is well and okay enough at some points, but considering its reputation, the 'armpit' of California'...there's nothing that makes it stick it out other then say maybe, sticking around long enough to work here and then move to somewhere.
Hard to rate things like safety and all that and diversity isn't much to speak of, as I hope to simply be around here for not too much longer and then move to somewhere else with all honesty.

San Bernardino has its good and bad days. Some things about it are the violence that really gets me because of it being unsafe in certain areas at certain times such as holidays. One thing about it, growing up in San Bernardino there is a lot of bad things going around in some areas where people grow up to think they are normal. San Bernardino is slowly growing and constantly striving to be a better city and over the years it has been very evident that the community is changing for the better. Even though there are some areas that are not safe, I am proud to have been raised in this city.
