Does everyone in Southern California hate it?
Is everyone leaving California?
And is it super expensive and hard to find an affordable home?
We'll answer those questions and more. So grab some tacos and hop on the 10, we're going to Unbox Southern California.
Southern California. The land that once was great. It’s still okay in some parts, but MAN are people here doin their best to trash it and change it and make it not desirable.
Anyways, lots of people move here every single year. They do their homework on home prices and crime and they STILL want to come. And they are lost, I tell ya. Lost. Most people don’t know where to move. Like Goldilocks, they want the perfect place.
Anyways, that’s what this is all about. I’m gonna break down every single part of Southern California and let you know exactly what to expect if you move here. It’s a pretty big place, and no matter your background, education, your wealth or entertainment needs, there’s somewhere for everyone. Just just have to know where to look. Now I’m no realtor, but I know a lot about this place, so I can give you a tour.
Ooh. Look. Traffic. We didn’t get very far. I was all enthusiastic about really discovering this place and then BAM. We’re stuck. We’re not going to be able to see Southern California easily like this. You know what - I’ll just get a map out and while we’re sitting here in traffic, I’ll point out all the places you need to know about.

@Growmap 9 месяцев назад

Sounds very accurate. I'm surprised you know so many details about so many places. I left in 1990 mostly because of the traffic. It was terrible in every direction on every road in RIVERSIDE which is a long way from LA. And now the prices are insane. The 2 bedroom 1 bath house I bought for $25,500 in 1978 is now supposedly worth half a million dollars? That's nuts. Norco is horse town. The only way you could get a place there was to know someone who was leaving (at least back then). Pedley and Bloomington were also horse areas. Probably not so much now. I had horses in Temecula or Rancho California as the real estate industry prefers to dub it. Crazy expensive huge houses on 5 acres halfway between San Diego and LA and nowhere close to commute to work. Back then, the people building there were retiring from Orange and LA Counties. They'd sell in those expensive places and could afford to build a McMansion on 5 acres. Lots of retired fire department people moved there back then. Actor Jack Klugman had a place across from the training track. Super nice guy. The Mexican grooms called his place "Taco Bell" because of the big entryway you could see from the barns and track.

@jayd2655 3 года назад

Majority of the homeless are from the states where you don't want to be homeless because it's either too cold in the winter or too hot during the summer. It is why the coastal states have the lion's share of the homeless population. Admit it, who wants to be homeless in Topeka, Kansas or Oklahoma City, OK? California has got work to do in addressing homelessness, but let's understand that the number is exacerbated by the influx of those who are struggling coming from mostly midwestern states. Just ask them where they're from and you'll see.

@andydguitar do you really wanna be homeless with a dew point at 80 degrees or higher? That has got to be the most oppressive heat especially when you’re homeless.

Wow, you must be from here. Great description of how it is today. I love Southern California. Its falling down as I speak. The Southern California of my youth is never coming back. (valley, west side, hollywood, Fairfax. Actually the world I want doesn’t exist anymore. 😂 I saw it begin around 2000. WAY to many people here now. It was a good ride. Hopefully it’s future is blessed to those who don’t remember how great it truly was. Ignorance is bliss.

As a person who was born in Tarzana and lived in Toluca Lake / North Hollywood for the first 18 years of my life you made me laugh out loud and feel sad/nostaligic all at the same time! California will always be my true home. Its the best state in the country bar none I don't care what the haters say. Im tempted to move back from time to time and very well may move back at some point.

Thank you for glossing over the beach cities. It's too crowded as is....During the summer months, the whole area is trampled with beach goers, tourists, and of course traffic. It's absolutely ridiculous.

North OC is actually very nice and suburban, cities such as Fullerton, Brea, La Habra, and Yorba Linda are great places to live. Central OC is where it kind of sucks, but even there, Orange and Tustin are pretty nice.

@AslanKyoya1776 3 года назад

I'm from La Habra, people think it's ghetto but it's not, just more working class and sort of rundown. I never felt unsafe there. Fullerton is kind of ghetto south of Downtown, but lots of Fullerton has cute old craftsman homes.

@jamalcolorado4260 3 года назад

@@AslanKyoya1776 Everything North of downtown is really nice and even south of downtown isn’t bad at all, except for Truslow which is really the only "ghetto" area of Fullerton.
