If you remember what Santa Ana was like back then with its large enclave of illegal aliens, well that is what most of north Orange County is now like. Orange County is becoming like LA.
I lived in Fountain Valley. My car was stolen once and ended up in Santa Ana, stripped. It was bearable in the 90’s, but by now it’s probably insanely overcrowded.
I lived that area for a year back in the late 70s. It had some problems. I went back in the late nos to the old neighborhood in the late 90s for a visit. It was like Kandahar. I wouldn’t want to see it today.
