People from Bakersfield walk on the street, all over. Once you get used to it though it's really not that difficult to live with. I imagine if people still used roads for walking like before cars, we could figure it out.

There are so many worse things about Bakersfield, this doesn't even rank.

Hay man, one of the lowest costs of living and average income ratios in the county. Also people get all ''oh no'' about crime rates, but it's really not significant for people who go to bed at 9pm to 10pm and aren't actively entrepreneurs of the night in any capacity. A lot of crime is criminal on criminal.
