What Renters Like and Dislike About Downtown Bakersfield

Close to bus and locked door have to have key to get into my building so not everyone gets in but there lots of homeless sleeping on sidewalks and leaving there trash everywhere

Going out of town with freasher air going to the beach mountain hicking,fishing,going to museum maybe a little golf
