  1. So many folks believe Isla Vista is some sort of mellow and “chill” place to live…like it’s paradise. For sure it’s a party paradise, but that’s about it. The truth of the matter is that the level of violence and crime in IV is exponentially getting worse as time goes on. Isla Vista is definitely in the “Big Leagues” when it comes to crime. The crime is certainly not going to deter anyone from living there as crime is simply an acceptable “inconvenience.” Party on IV….party on.
