A friend of mine recently escaped a house hold where he was being labor trafficked. My friend was drugged and sedated on numerous occasions and woke up with swollen extremities. When attempting to flee the household and run to police and or the hospital, neighbors and security of the neighborhood of his now ex girlfriend's house, located by the nelson museum, would box him in while driving and or try and run him off the road. Her router was set up to where any device hooked up to her wifi could then be accessed from third party devices. They would turn his location on, on numerous different apps allowing them to track him and follow him if he attempted to flee. Security and the neighbors were able to observe him from her ring cameras and the old ADT systems they have in the houses so if he attempted to leave they were notified. He was then confined to working on the interior of the house as well as the exterior, only permitted to leave the premises if his now ex-girlfriend was with him or if he was working on the exterior of the house. His now ex-girlfriend would report to his family that he's doing great but after months of not hearing from him, his grandfather finally showed up unannounced, and he was able to hop in his grandfather's car and leave the city. The neighborhood should be investigated and he is currently working with authorities to get an investigation of his ex girlfriend, her house, her neighbors, the neighborhood, and the neighborhood's security as I type this. I would highly recommend avoiding this neighborhood at all costs due to the fact that it is a suspected human trafficking stronghold for a large criminal organization.

Absolutely. CHP is a very active neighborhood with lots of dog walkers and joggers. There is a lot of city noise...it is close to both fire and police stations so you'll hear them pass by on the main streets. The main risk of crime is petty thefts. It is the city, so make sure you secure lawn mowers, bikes, car doors...things that can walk off if someone opportunistic happens across it.
