bakosphere - > Bakosphere -> Local videoblog rips look of downtown housing project
Local videoblog rips look of downtown housing project

Anyone who uses Twitter in Bakersfield probably knows Keandra Sandifer. She's a real estate marketer who uses Twitter both for business and personal reasons. She has lots of followers, and posts frequently.

Her latest venture is videoblogging via her "Real"Bako blog. Her first video was, as she admits herself, a little rough. Much better is her second, in which she starts out by promoting the reopening of Central Park (see Bakersfield.com story for background) but which soon turns into a blast on the nearby Parkview Cottages. In Keandra's eyes, the cottages are well-meaning but totally out of place in Bakersfield and "downtown urban living." She questions the white picket fences and New England style. 

 Not sure if future Keandra videoblogs will tackle other angles in local real estate, but we'll keep an eye on it.

i cannot believe our "leaders" decided to sink millions of dollars into a park that is frequented by the homeless and mentally deranged, while my neighborhood sits without a park that was on the drawing board in 2002, and which NOR shamelessly still places as being there on all their maps

what a waste of free kin money

uugh, she reminds me of a fashion designer. Most people are just trying to pay rent or make their mortgate.

learnem,

It isn't polite to say "mentally deranged." You should say people with mental illnesses. Not as many people with mental illnesses would be roaming around parks if there were more social services available to help them. You should read The Soloist by Steve Lopez

I believe the bulk of the project was financed with grant money.  Sadly, learnem, with the population fleeing to the west (northwest in your case), the established neighborhoods are left to deteriorate.  The park fix up looks great.  I hope the City has much success.  One suggestion, how about a market downtown?
