The County heavily voted Trump (source: http://www.politico.com/2016-election/re...alifornia/) and their is a local Uni (Cal State Bakersfield) for college poon. Downtown Bakersfield has low rent rate at $634 a month (Rentometer: https://www.rentometer.com/results/ZKqZKd8okmY). Also, its only 2 hours outside of LA so you can use the $$ saved from low rent to get a hotel and game on the weekends in LA. This city seems to good to be true. Is their some type of catch?
