Lol, it all depends on where you look in Da Cruz. There's every type there from hippies and surfers and vacuous valley girl flakes (see video) to real people. And, unfortunately, gangbangers. So kind of like every other city. Having friends down there I get there fairly often, but south of Santa Cruz proper. Great motorcycle roads in the area.
Fwiw, the building that used to house Moto Italiano is now a dispensary. BFD.
