I absolutely loved your article...great writing! It is also oh so true about Southern California. I can say this with certainty because I am a native Southern Californian, born in 1964, still(for better or worse)live here, so I've known L.A./SoCal pretty good for nearly 50 years now and as the years go by, I can truly say that Southern California for the most part sucks, and am looking forward in a few years(hopefully)to be getting out. There is sooo much that is bad out here, if I start to make a list, I will get depressed...so I won't! Just wanted to give you a thumbs up for your article! LOL!

I left one week before the riots and never looked back. Southern California is the most overrated hell hole I have ever experienced. Overpriced to high living hell and only a sucker and fool would pay what they ask for houses especially on the Westside. Run don't walk is my advice, and I speak from experience.

People in Los Angeles have got to be the biggest collection of poseurs with parasitic personas to match. It caters to, and almost rewards people with no character, class, integrity, or education. Flakiness runs rampant, as does passive aggressive, robotic monologues, and only in a place like Los Angeles do people actually think it's a compliment to be called arrogant. Where I come from, your arrogant due to self loathing, and have to project a facade. It's only fitting the state is bankrupt, the people are broke and miserable, but driving a Land Rover. Nothing but a bunch of retards and frauds. I know it’s ignorant to generalize, but in socal it’s a safe assumption.

I've lived in So Cali for all of my 51 years,but have seen only about 8 black widow spiders,never seen a coyote in the wild,the only bees I've seen are always in my vegetable garden working for me on a daily basis (we drastically need more bees)I've seen a couple of rattle snakes while in the desert,but have never felt threatened by them in the least. I live by the beach and would never think about moving to the valley. Hollywood is a world of it's own,a great place to visit for "people" (freak) watching. I see people on the news on the East Coast shoveling snow,and think to myself...How can those folks stand not going to the beach today? it's 84'degrees after all. haha I don’t like spiders and snakes,and that AIN’T WHAT IT TAKES TO LOVE ME…YOU FOOL YOU FOOL!

The question is though, how do you survive wherever it is you live? I'm the worst kind of suburbanite soft-living bourgeoisie, and even I can handle some black widows and a goddamn coyote.

Just wanted to say you hit the nail on the head. Oh, and for those black widows I recommend a long-stem lighter and a can of Lysol--just make sure you have a shoe handy in case the flaming ball of hellishness makes a kamikaze rush at you.

I am not a California apologist...I am simply pointing out something that I have noticed over the years: when someone from back east, or the midwest, come to California and can't cut it, they always blame California. It's never them...I find that funny. Where in Pennsylvania? Limey…I’ve lived in Chicago, Kansas City, Las Vegas…and traveled and spent significant time in all areas around the US.
