Santa Ana is a dark, dirty, depressing place that’s FULL of dope & crime ! I’ve recently went to the jail twice to visit someone & I was terrified !!!!!! I smiled at ppl when I was walking around outside & they gave me dirty looks like wtf is ur problem ?! Every neighborhood looks like a bunch of meth labs, every car is an old, beat up, drug dealer, gangster looking car, & a lot of the businesses have NO English writing anywhere ! Scary shit ! There’s a fucking middle school literally one meter away from the jail !!! Not a fun place to b for a 21 year old, blonde, skinny, white girl w/ a nice BMW & a nice wardrobe. Not that I’m bragging at all ! I just mean if ur middle class like me, white, not from the ghetto, & have a decent lifestyle, u won’t fit n & ppl look at u like they’re gonna eat u alive !!!!!! Even driving around there made me panic. Scary place ppl !!!

STAY AWAY FROM SANTA ANA IF YOU KNOW WHATS GOOD FOR YOU, TRUST ME. I LIVE IN THIS CITY AND I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY PEOPLE HERE DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOU OR THEIR SURROUNDINGS. FOR EXAMPLE: THEY WILL DRIVE DRUNK AND HIGH AND RUN YOU AND YOUR KIDS OVER, IN SCHOOL THE KIDS MAKE IT SEEM LIKE PLAYING WITH GUNS AND SMOKING DRUGS IS COOL, AND IF YOUR KIDS DONT JOIN ALONG THEY WILL BE CALLED PUSSYS AND WILL GET THEIR ASS KICKED. MANY PEOPLE WILL WRITE GRAFFITI ON YOUR WALLS, AND IF YOU TELL THEM OTHER WISE YOU WILL RECIEVE ONE OF TWO THINGS A FIST TO THE FACE OR A FUCK YOU FAT BITCH YOU AINT MY FUCKEN MOM/DAD. SANTA ANA IS A JUNGLE, SURVIVAL OF THE FIT ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE. EVERYONE IS FUCKING COLD THEIR IS NO LOVE FOR YOU HERE

ITS NOT SAFE FOR YOU, YOUR KIDS, YOUR GRANDMA, YOUR UNCLE.

STAY OUT GO TO NEWPORT OR SOME SHIT.

DONT YOU KNOW THAT SANTANA HAS OVER 90 ACTIVE STREET GANGS ALL OF THEM NOT GIVING A FUCK AND WILL EASILY PULL A GUN OUT ON YOU WHEN YOU GET OUT OF YOU CAR TO BUY SOMETHING FROM JACK IN THE BOX DOWN THE STREET. CLICK, CLICK, BANG, YOUR DONE END OF STORY YOUR NOW SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES.

YOUR KIDS WILL ADAPT AND BECOME GANGSTERS THAT WILL SMOKE DRUGS DRINK BEER,CRUISE IT DOWN BRISTOL ST AND KICK IT WITH THE HOMIES ALL DAY LONG AND WILL NEVER GO TO COLLEGE,

LEAVE SANTA ANA ALONE RICHY WE DONT WANT YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

REPLY IF YOU THINK OTHER WISE!!

I owned apartment buildings in santa ana and it’s definitely not a safe place to live if you are not mexicans.

Most of all, I enjoy the diversity of the people in the city and the wonderful repertoire of delicious cuisine from many parts of the world. If you are someone who enjoys other people, you will get to know the real Santa Ana.

And after you eat that delicious cuisine you may want to run like a mother to avoid a bullet in you’re A@# from one of our delectable gang members! LOL

You locals are a crack up! They said there was a lack of mental health in Santa Ana…So many nuts, not enough pills!

Yes it is, for the most part. Depends where you are going and at what time. Every city has its good areas and those that are not so great.

If, for example, you come to our city to try to, for example, buy illegal drugs, well good luck to you. That may not work out well for you.

Our Downtown in particular is very safe.

People’s comments here reminded me of a story reported on TV, recently. There was a guy who was walking on some beach (don’t remember where). He was listening to his ipod and a plane landed on him and killed him. What are the odds of that happening? Anyways, that was just to say that I enjoy this city – lots of cultural events happening and I don’t have to drive to LA to see a play, enjoy a great concert, or have access to great trails, parks, museums and zoos. Most of all, I enjoy the diversity of the people in the city and the wonderful repertoire of delicious cuisine from many parts of the world. If you are someone who enjoys other people, you will get to know the real Santa Ana. We all know that if people go by the Hollywood image of most places they’ll get the wrong idea. As an aside, my bike was stolen in the safest city in OC and I also saw a policeman chasing a purse snatcher in that same safest city. I do know that said city has the lowest rate of crime. It is also smaller in comparison to the size of Santa Ana. Santa Ana is a huge place with lots to offer those who approach and appreciate engagement with their surroundings.
