I was born in Hollywood, raised in Long Beach. I despise Los Angeles so much I turned down several great jobs over my working lifetime, because I would have had to have spent my days in L.A. One particular job offer required my presence in Los Angeles only one day a week. The rest of the time in an office in the harbor in Long Beach. No way. To this day I will not go to L.A. for any reason.
WHY!? Liberals.
Retired, and not in L.A. That’s the way I like it.
Man I always wanted ranch in rural Ca called “Bell E Acres”
With a wrought iron Bell with an E in it over the archway LOL
So Cal resident here..everything on that list is accurate.
It’s such a beautiful region, with amazing weather and all the best geographic features within driving distance. Ocean, desert and mountain snow within two hours drive. All these blessings and yet I look forward to escaping at my earliest opportunity. I can’t leave for at least ten more years, so I’m praying that I’ll survive this regions decent into 3rd world madness.
