It's all about the weather - 4/14/2007
As one writer said they longed for the change of seasons that was
non-existent in San Diego, but after hearing about 6 months of snow and frigid weather, I will probably retire in a warmer climate.
The problem with the nice climates, like San Diego, is that everyone wants to be there and that makes for crowds, high housing and constant traffic.
I would agree that some times there is a lack of community, but if you are in a stable Southern California community, it can be achieved.
You can keep the Minnesota winters, thank you very much.

Lake Forest?....*yawn* - 11/29/2006
Lived in OC all my life (42 years) and have been in Lake Forest for 8.
If you like a place where everything looks the same, you've got to get in your car to go anywhere, which means leaving here if you desire any place that's got any soul, and where the right-wing Christian conservatives outnumber any liberals, you'll love it. It's only got about 5 decent restaurants...all of them ethnic. Not including the chain Wahoo's, which continues it's tradition of good food for cheap. Nothing but families, no place to be if you're single. If it's hot in OC, and it had been since June, it's even hotter here. Can't tell you how many days in a row that were over 90 degrees this looooooooooooooooooooong Summer.
I'm looking to get the heck out, can't stand the mind-set, etc. anymore. If you're a progressive thinking, cool, genuine person...don't even consider
