    Nice overview of Chico. It’s a pretty bike friendly place. Businesses seem to want more people here but residents not so much. More and more traffic and growth, maybe too much. Concerns that Chico at the rate it is growing will soon become a little a Sacramento-unbelievably car centric. Ugh! Don’t really think we need more residents. It’s a beautiful place though. Lots of trees in many areas. Bidwell Park is a gem!

      It is a bike friendly place for sure, and getting to be more so! Have you seen all of the changes happening on Esplanade? They are putting in designated bike lanes down the entire stretch. They are also considering that for Downtown as well. Lots of small businesses have closed their doors that past year or so, but we've also had a few new ones come to town that could certainly use community support to help our city continue to thrive!

    Chico was a nice place....50 years ago.
    Commiefornia is being dragged to the ground by liberal ideologies. If you fit that bill, Chico is your town.

      Butte County is the worst place in California to raise a child, having the highest rates of child abuse in the state.

      🚨Butte County: Continues to Lead California in Child Abuse🚨
      Butte County, CA has been grappling with high rates of child abuse for several years. In 2013, the county had a rate of 0.9 cases per 100,000 residents. By 2017, this rate had significantly increased to 33.6 cases per 100,000 residents. This alarming trend has continued, with the rate of substantiated cases of child abuse or neglect reaching 9.2 per 1,000 children in 2020, well above the California state average of 6.8 per 1,000 children. 📈
      📊 Reports from the Center for Youth Wellness indicate that Butte County has notably higher childhood maltreatment rates than California overall. The county has higher rates of neglect and abuse allegations (74.0 vs. 54.3 per 1,000 children), substantiations (9.9 vs. 7.7), and entries into protective care (6.5 vs. 3.1). From 2008 to 2013, 76.5% of Butte County residents reported having one or more adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), the highest rate of all California counties and significantly higher than the state average of 61.7%. Additionally, nearly twice the percentage of Butte County residents reported having four or more ACEs compared to the state average (30.3% vs. 15.9%).
      📉 Similarly, results from the 2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) demonstrated that 76.5% of Butte County respondents had one or more ACEs, considerably higher than the most recent data for statewide respondents (65.5%). Butte County respondents had higher rates across all ACEs categories, with the most frequent being substance use disorder 💊 by a household member (37.8% vs. 26.1%), parental separation or divorce (37.3% vs. 26.7%), emotional or verbal abuse (35.2% vs. 34.9%), a household member with a mental disorder (28.4% vs. 15.0%) and witnessing domestic violence (19.3% vs. 17.5%).

    The old guard that were hell bent on keeping Chico authentic have all passed on now. The new kids in charge are all about “ progress” and “ growth”. They have demolished the small town beauty that WAS Chico. In its place no more open fields, buildings and structures everywhere all built right next to each other. Roundabouts everywhere. “Modern” mini communities are being constructed with schools,shopping,high rise apartment buildings all “Modern” looking. No more several acre horse ranches. No more orchards. All replaced with 200 unit housing “ communities”. Cars Everywhere. Chico is now a suburb of Sacramento.

    It used to be a darling town to go to college and raise a family. People are so nice there, however the liberal council really ruined it. Homelessness anyone? Who cares about the summer heat. Try living in NC with humidity. I miss the Chico summers.

    How hot can it really get? Like +115°? Is it so unlivable in July and August that the kids can't play on the playground because the equipment is to hot?

    • @TheNorCalLife
      @TheNorCalLife  10 місяців тому

      Hi Julian, no it usually does not get that hot. During the hottest parts of the year it can get just above 100, this last year there was a day or two that got to 110 but that's very infrequent. As for the play equipment, during the hottest parts of the day the slides and metal might get too hot but usually cools down pretty quickly.

      It doesn’t get horribly hot….not like the southern part of the USA. The other thing you have to worry about, which realtors won’t tell you , is that you have to have wildfire insurance in the outer parts of Chico and Paradise.
