Is Richmond, CA a gang hot spot? -

I m wanting to move down to California next year and I want to know if Richmond (North of Berkeley) is a gang hot spot like Oakland? Or if I ll be just fine?

I can t turn on the news without seeing a story on another shooting in Richmond. It may or may not be gang-related, but it seems to be a violent area. My cousin lives in Berkeley, and she s had no problems, if that s an option for you.
