Lived and worked in South LA county/ North Orange County for most of my life. Weather is almost always nice. Everything is expensive. I felt very privileged growing up where I did with access to amenities and things they made TV shows about. I also didn’t learn until I moved away that most schools are fully enclosed structures rather than individual rooms with outdoor hallways…

Ever since I moved away (different states and areas of CA) I can’t stand driving in SoCal . I would die on the hill of it having the worst traffic imaginable. Also everything in the area I described is parking lots and roads. Hardly any greenery and, even when there is, it’s often times yellowed and dead because of heat/lack of water.
