San Leandro is rich with culture, diversity, and ethnic minorities. Anywhere you go, you can find amazing authentic cultural foods from all over the world, amazing music from Latin America and Asia, and colorful events that paint the beautiful world of different cultures. As much as I love these things about my city, there are many things that could improve. Taxpayers' money isn't being used efficiently to improve the quality of the city and due to such high prices in the Bay Area, many lower income families cannot afford to live here. But, San Leandro is working to help reform a lot of other issues. There is a high minority rate and a high crime rate in San Leandro. To combat this issue and to support the youth minority, free mentorships and programs are put into place so that the future of this city can be brighter than ever!
San Leandro is home to diverse restaurants, stores, and schools; finding something you want is very convenient. However, the roads and local commutes need fixing. The distance between stores and facilities may not be far but the broken roads and traffic diminishes the quality of commute. Overall, there are minimal safety threats--with the occasional vandalism and public nuisance, living in San Leandro is generally peaceful. San Leandro could be considered as the epicenter of activity in the Bay Area, mainly in the restaurant department. San Leandro lacks entertainment in the form of movie theaters, arenas, etc., but surely provides access to other facilities, promoting colorful living.
The diversity in this town is immaculate. There are a lot of small restaurants here owned by families of different ethnicities. From burgers from Super Burger to Pho at Saigon House, there is food that appeals to someone. The town is developing too as food chains such as Quickly are showing up in the residential areas. The town is right next to San Lorenzo and Oakland. Therefore, there are a lot of school options. A notable alumni that attended Arroyo High School (the school I attend) is Damian Lillard of the Toronto Raptors. However, baseball has the most championships at that school. If not for the food or the sports, despite its multicultural mixing pot San Leandro has its caring community where everyone nods at one another during morning strolls and comes together in time of need. I grew up here and though it's not perfect, the town has given me friends and memories that I will carry on with me as I go away for college.
