A 1 bedroom starts at 1000, and that’s not in the city center. I have no idea why they’re saying it’s dangerous. There’s literally cops putting bike traps up to tempt people into stealing because there’s so little crime. It’s incredibly safe and welcoming to people of all races & genders. It’s also dry, incredibly dry with forest fires in the summer so the smoke can be intense for several months. It’s not rainy
