I love San Leandro because there are a lot of resources being brought to us from the county. I grew up here my whole life and the schools are good. There is a new youth center which provides great resources to 11-24 year olds as well.

I have no complaints about our public services. Our wonderful public library really came in handy when I was unemployed.

Niche Review
I give public transportation a high rating, but freeway congestion is terrible. Roads are crowded and full of potholes. People drive too fast. I don't feel safe riding a bicycle around town.

In my area, there is some crime, mostly burglaries and holdups in banks and stores. However, we live near two high-crime areas with these kinds of crimes and more, including murder and rape.
