"It's Not Paradise, But Close"


It's Not Paradise, But Close - 11/16/2006

Kay
Simi Valley, CA

If it weren't for housing being too high and the young people having a little too much freedom and not enough discipline, Simi Valley would be paradise. I'm fortunate in that I've owned my home for close to 20 years, however, my kids cannot possibly afford to buy and have anything left over for a quality life. I don't see enough of our young people with focus and work ethic - they'd rather party instead of furthering their education. Bad influences.
