105. Modesto

I grew up in Modesto in the 60s when the population was around 53,000 (I moved to Eugene, Oregon in 1991). Back in 1983, when my job was transferred to the Bay Area, I knew how much cheaper it was to live in Modesto, so was one of the first commuters. It wasn't so bad then. Now, when I visit my parents, who live in Ripon, I'm just appalled at the traffic and how all the farmland is being chewed up. I'm also a bit of a liberal outcast within my own family as well as to people I grew up with there who are ultra conservative. They think I've been brainwashed.
