Where I am now is close to what S.CA was in the early 70s. Growing like crazy, but will never become the ugly chaos the Communist left created in CA. There are 5 lakes within minutes, off roading real close by etc., and the people don't look like parolees and felons.☺
Btw, I recall years ago driving from the LA/OC area to San Diego all the time and did 75mph the entire way...Last time I did that about 5 years ago it was bumper to bumper the entire way (and no accidents)... No joke. I cursed the entire way, by the time I got there I wanted to commit mass murder...lol ☺
unfortunately an accurate description I live in O-side my daughter in Sylmar Once month I schlep up to the valley usually 7 on sunday morning which is ok. But on the way back 25 miles and hour.
