Oh Gawd gag me with a spoon, as Moon Unit Zappa, would say.

Same response as NYC...I wouldn’t drop a good Texas turd in any Kali city

Driving anywhere is a major headache. I used to live in the San Fernando valley - just getting to work every day was a chore. By the time the weekends came around, I was so sick of driving that we never went anywhere. Only way around it is to plan to leave early in the day or very late in the evening.

I saw her appear with her father on Letterman when she was about 15. She was quite articulate and very,very cute. I wonder what she looked like at 40.

Pay a million for a house in crowded and decaying suburbia.

The better suburbs are colonies of various immigrant groups, the majority of which vote for Gavin Newsome, Kamala Harris and the hard Left.

Press 2 for English.

You get to enjoy the quaint customs of the cultures that are replacing Americans.

In the 90s my job sent me there for 6 weeks. It was a nice novelty. But I would NEVER live there. Saw the sun once. (San Fernando valley)

That’s where I first heard Jagged Little Pill on the radio.

I have friends who are residents of Beverly Hills. When they come to PA they act like they’re in a foreign country. What’s ordinary here (farms, churches, buildings more than 20 years old) is extraordinary to them. We went to an old diner, one of those 1950ish places, like a giant chrome grill on an antique auto. You’d have thought it was a new section of Disneyland, the way they carried on.
They said the streets were very narrow here...so I took them on a side trip to historic Philadelphia, where there are streets too narrow for cars :D
They were very impressed with the cows, the corn, the pastures we have here.
They’re in their 20’s but they are very unfamiliar with anyplace beyond SoCal.
Me, I’ve been to CA. The ocean is pretty impressive. So are the stores. But if I want that, plus crime and taxes out of control — NYC and the Jersey shore are closer.

[Jolla]

Having lived in So Cal her assessment is pretty right on. But on the con if you cannot afford a home and can't get a job and everything is expensive, whats the point of the good stuff.

L. A.'s fine the sun shines most the time
And the feelin' is laid back
Palm trees grow and rents are low
But you know I keep thinkin' 'bout
Making my way back

LA might still have sunshine.

I think the rest is OBE

[maddog55]

There is no upside to Los Angeles unless you’re homeless, gay or a liberal.

Normal people prefer clean, safe, friendly places. Cities don’t fit that category regardless.

Moon Unit Zappa created Valspeak the way valley girls talk. Fer sure. Bag yer face. Totally.

I was just thinking the other day that I drove from coast to coast across America twice and the only place I ever had a bird hit my truck or car was in the Valley, right near the Sherman Oaks Galleria. I was driving by looking at it and saw a pair of webbed feet hit the top of my windshield. There was no damage but I thought it was an odd place for that to happen.
