Review of Lake Forest, California


Dreary
Star Rating - 2/5/2019
I've lived here for 5 and a half years and it's the worst. There's no way to describe the inherent awful nature of Lake Forest without sounding like I'm exaggerating. The whole town is ripe with hatred of each other and indifference to our neighbors, even the weather which can hit 100 degrees in the summer cannot save us. If you want to have any fun at all you have to leave the city - as someone without a car, this makes every trip a 4 hours round trip time cost. Everyone has a sense of dreary pessimism and there's no escaping it without leaving. Do not move here.

You are a complete idiot and sound like a maniac. It’s a shock that 30% are agreeing with you and they are all morons too.??

The entire area of Aliso Viejo, Mission Viejo, Lake forest, Laguna Niguel, etc. Is a rather vacuous place full of shopping centers and living spaces and parks without shade in the hot dry dusty climate that ruins your car quickly and a water system which deposits minerals all over your stainless steel sink and windshields Full of a bunch of arrogant self-centered pompous jerks, rude and insulting in every way, who block the way with their cars in their person, no respect for elders, no respect for one another. A bunch of fast cars trying to race to see who can get “their” first when there’s nowhere to go
