Reply to comment by katcomesback in Is Lakewood fairly safer than Tacoma? by westmaxia

Lol! So I might as well say scratch off living in Tacoma, or would that be gross generalization?

In the PNW you get what you pay for.
If you want to spend $5000/month, you’re going to have a peaceful life. If you want to spend $500/month, you’re life is gonna suck and you’ll get your car stolen and your crap apartment broken into once a week.

it’s up to you, I’d have to be paid to stay in ruston and you couldn’t pay me to move back to tacoma or lakewood. I lived in both for 1.5 years and felt much safer in everett of all places. I was nearly kidnapped in tacoma twice and followed constantly in lakewood and tacoma and steilacoom is expensive and full of old rich people. my cousin is down on jblm and hates it, he’s from WA but would rather be stationed anywhere else

This is so embarrassing. Tacoma is not scary to live in. Lakewood is worse (and more boring) in most places.

Even a city like Atlanta has more crime, perhaps more shooting crimes than Tacoma, but if we are looking into home affordability, Tacoma is becoming another seattle cost-wise.

Everything on the west coast is becoming Seattle/San Francisco cost wise. Tacoma, Vancouver, Portland, San Diego, all of it.
