30-35 years ago, you might have been correct. When I first came her in 1981, there were smog alerts almost everyday in the summer. The smog level was actually a part of the weather forecast. And you could not see the mountains for the smog.
I will have to give the enviro-whackos (and all of us for paying higher gas prices) credit for cleaning up the air. Now, almost everyday you can see the mountains and there really isn't a smog problem. I haven't heard of a smog alert in many many, years. Sure, 1 or 2 days a year in the summer it is bad. And no, I wouldn't want to go jogging downtown LA, but it has gotten way better. I live in Huntington Beach, and there is NEVER any smog.
Look, there are many problems with CA, and the whole state could be overhauled. It could be a lot better. But most of the problems listed in 1-16 above do not have an everyday, or any effect on me. The weather does, and for me, makes Huntington Beach an ideal place to live.
Completely agree. I’m in Santa Barbara and live in complete and utter perpetual heaven. Reagan Ranch Center is up here. So although I don’t attend as many events as I’d like, I do give money and they have some great conservative connections here.
