I grew up in Taft, left for college in the mid sixties. I was in 11-C Camp next to The Fort, and it was a great place to grow up. The Rec, downtown, was great for the high school kids, the schools were great. I understand that the State ripped the funds away from the city schools. There was a shot fired in a high school science room where I studied, wounding a student.
884 per 1000 🤦🏾♂️🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Come on now that doesn't even make since. That would make it the worst places to live on EARTH. THEY GOT THE NUMBERS ALL WRONG it's 884 per ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
@@yb6. Taft is cheap lmao a lot of Mexicans are coming to Taft cuz of the cheap rent, go try to live in coastal counties in California, that is actually expensive with 4000 for a 3 bedroom
I just moved to taft it is 2020 and I been leaving here for a year now it is amazing place yes there really no hospital but is because is a small town and I prefer it that way bigger city's in california are the worst places to live at and there is even smaller town like New cuyama, this town has everything u need with out being to big there is not much homeless compare to bakerfield and the crimes are low crimes like car break in but that is what part you live in town, any where you go there is always crime and homeless is just depends if u want a small town or a city to live in . I give taft 7.5 out of 10 of the best town I have lived in so this news report is not accurate you saw the people are happy with the town the news media just always wants to make anything look bad L.A and bakerfield are the top worst city's in california that are the worst to live in .so yeah we choose taft
@@AprendiendoconcarlajProbably the best prices are in Ford City on the north side of Taft. I grew up in an oil camp next to Sutters Fort. The camp has now been torn down. It was great for growing up.
Taft is certainly not one of the worst cities to live in. Taft, just like any other small community, has unique challenges presented to them. What makes the City of Taft great is the people. Folks in Taft come together and get things done for their community. They get the job done with less than what other cities have, and it is very admirable to see their strong teamwork and care for one another.
California City is known for drugs, crime, and most recently Orrin and Orson west’s disappearance. So, If by “better” you mean more well known I think it’s better to be Taft lol

It's because it is a desert/badlands. 🏜 💀 It's also next to a correctional prison to keep dangerous folks who won't survive the desert heat. Which is a good thing.

It’s the armpit of California for sure, and apparently one of the easiest for property theft.
See ambulances everyday but no police... Love it
Been to Taft quite a few times... Can't disagree!😂😂😂🍺
