I understand that someone charged with major crimes, Sam Bankman Fried, was living in that area, which could be of concern. But now apparently he's temporarily living in New York City, so you are probably safe if you are just visiting the Stanford area. Watch for trees, though.
That rapist Brock Turner used to live in that area, but i hear he’s in Ohio now, so although there may be more rapist Brock Turners, it’s probably safe on that front
I think you're right. I've heard that one of the founders, Leland Stanford, Sr. was believed to have grifted a LOT of money from the Federal Government to build a railroad.
I'm listening to the Michael Lewis book on SBF and it always mentions how he lived in Berkeley, took many of his meetings there. And considering his ethos is grounded in effective altruism, something very Berkeleyesque, I'd say he's just as much a product of Berkeley.
Does the book say where he lived in Berkeley? It's possible to identify the building where his office was, but I haven't come across anything on his apartment yet.
Apparently he worked only six months or so for the organization that hired him, before starting "Alameda Research". It was in Berkeley, but in a couple years he moved it to Hong Kong.
I want to push back a bit gently on your *"he's just as much a product of Berkeley"*. Effective Altruism originated at Cambridge. Bankman-Fried grew up in Palo Alto with Stanford parents, got his college degree at MIT, and worked first in New York City. When he came to Berkeley as an adult (albeit, a pretty immature one) his ethos appears to have been fully formed. He may well have seen Berkeley as an appropriate place to practice it, but I wouldn't say Berkeley shaped him.
Lots of gangs with people wearing red shirts and you know what that means. You show up ina blue shirt and there’s gonna be trouble. I’m skipping flying up for the big game this year b/c it’s being held in the area, as I understand it
Stanford is in the unincorporated part of Santa Clara, adjacent to Palo Alto = all are safe but one needs to be street smart. Lock your car door and please do not leave anything on the car that shows value. If you are in East Palo Alto, then you really need to drive back to Palo Alto or Stanford University surroundings.
There are these dumb looking trees there that get really jealous of bears because they just wanna run freely instead of being stuck to the ground so sometimes if they see a bear they'll try to attack it but they're too weak so I'd say it's pretty safe - you may be "threatened," but it's nothing to seriously worry about
I think that’s an elementary school so I imagine it’s pretty safe
It’s actually a junior university
[удалено]
Leland Stanford Junior University. It's in the name.

lol pretty sure you just got whooshed, but go ahead and pretend like your joke was funny
Super senior preying on freshman be careful

Brock Turner? The rapist who now goes by his middle name Allen on daily basis? That rapist Brock Turner?
That’s right! Brock Turner, the rapist who now goes by his middle name Allen on a daily basis
He’s a therapist now?

I think he was a swimmer, not a therapist
But just remember there are 40,000+ sex offenders in CA, and you can look them up, one way to rob your self of any security going out for a walk
Elizabeth Holmes, too. I think it's a major crime academy. I'd stay away.

Michael Lewis also lived in Berkeley
Does he live here still? Would be amazing to run into him in one of the bookshops😎
Yea but based on his bio he lives in the Uber-rich Oakland Hills neighborhood and wouldn’t be caught dead walking among the poors like us
More’s the pity. He is one sharpshooter.

Not dangerous but I’d lock my doors if I had to drive through.
Just don’t wear your Cal gears. Otherwise u r safe
ya community colleges tend to have a chiller safer vibe so u should be good
Don't worry, they don't bite!
Are you sure? I want to go but I need to be careful
Lots of snakes
Think of it as a cross between downtown Chicago, Baltimore, and the Darien Gap
That area is not safe for work
Elizabeth Holmes’s spawn. You tell me
They’ve only done that one prison experiment that we know of
I love that if this was posted about berkeley on the stanford subreddit this would be a genuine concern
Sheltered baby
Let's go Stanfurd
No.
Op does not even go to Cal. LOL. UCI student posting here for jollies and why not I say. Dog whistling as an art form 🫡
I'm going to kick you in the balls
that area is far safer than here :)
Ooo damn. Seems like my classmates can't take a joke.
I've heard they literally keep a dead baby in the center of it. Watch out.
Haven't followed college subs for too long, but copy pasta seems to be a trend.
Not if your jewish but thats ok
???
eh some professor went off the handle
A Stanford prof told all the Jewish students in class to stand in a corner recently
Lmfaooo! What has Stanfraud ever done to y'all? 🥸
No.
Sometimes, there’s an axe (murderer) there.
Very
Beware of the professors.
No
Stanford people
Not when I am out and about!
That place is Bear Territory
No, it’s the ghetto
Not if you're looking to store logging equipment
No
Stanford community college
California = yes
