Santa Clarita, CA
Very conservative town -
5/18/2008I noticed that this site posts Santa Clarita as having a majority of democrats. This statistic is very wrong. Perhaps they transposed the 2 numbers. Southern California is very democratic, but Santa Clarita is definitely not. All the elected representatives for this area are conservative republicans. The area is also highly mormon. Which your statistics don't show either. I don't know what the official numbers are, but a lot of the people I meet out here are mormon. There is nothing wrong with being mormon and I know a lot of really nice people who happen to be mormon. However, it does go to show just how conservative this town is. For example, there are hardly any bars and nowhere to go dancing. The comedy club keeps it PG. I am raising a family here, but still find it's not a very fun, tolerant place to live. My teenager finds it styfling. There's nothing to do except go to the mall or a movie.

re: Stinky Town - 8/6/2007 -
5/18/2008I lived there for 3 wonderful years and regreted leaving. I too smelled the cow manure, but only a couple of times a year. I lived South of Harmony too. Now if your in Greeley where the source of the odor is, then I'm sure you'd smell it alot. As for the economy, it was starting to go through a bad period when we left almost 4 years ago.

Summers are beastly hot -
5/18/2008Santa Clarita has a great climate for 3 of the 4 seasons, but the summers which really extend from May through September are terribly hot. 100 degrees or warmer are very common. Yes, we don't have the humidity others have to deal with, but compared to other parts of LA, I really regret moving here. I feel trapped in my house in the summer, unless I'm driving down to the beach. Also, the air quality is terrible. My kids and I have asthma and we've all gotten much worse since moving here.
