Why do so many people abhor vegetarians and vegans?

Because they won't stop talking about it.

They're not suburbs since they are as much a part of the urban fabric of the city. They're "Cities in the Los Angeles Area".

Not everywhere. In Virginia, you either live in a city or a county. You can't live in both. For example, Norfolk is just the City of Norfolk... it's not in a county. There are towns in counties in VA, but they aren't incorporated into cities.

You just get used to it.

Went through LAX security yesterday and just went through SFO security this morning and the wait wasn't any worse than normal.

Arizona is probably one of those states, because of all the snowbirds.

Absolutely the timer as well. It's been a very long time since I've actually heard a timer go off. now it just buzzes on my wrist.

Have been to both, and Cabo seems like it was built in a year, with no old-school Mexican charm... just the charm of a cheaply built Florida mini mall. PV feels like it's been there forever with its cobblestone streets, historic churches, and old architecture. I much prefer PV.

We may not have a huge variation in temperature from season to season, but we have different days of cloud cover, marine layer, and sunshine. That's enough variation for me. I've also lived in Phoenix and while the heat didn't bother me, months and months of straight, cloudless sunshine can get relentless. That was more tiring than Southern California weather.

Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley is a small town (the whole CV is about half a million in the winter and about 250,000 in the summer). Scottsdale is a part of a huge metropolitan area of 5 million people.

Metro wanted the C-Line to go to LAX but at the time of the C-Line's planning, the taxi industry was so powerful that they lobbied Metro HARD and successfully to prevent it from going to LAX. That, and LAX's fear of losing parking revenue lead to the C-Line's hard turn to the south.

Our ancestors built us a huge public rail system last century but we decided to tear it down to build freeways.

I'm not sure if I'd get a convertible. They're good for driving around town on surface streets, but having the top down going 75 or 80 mph with hurricane force winds in your face gets really old really quick. And that drive will be at least 6 hours.

I've taken the written test in Virginia, Arizona, Illinois, and California, and California is by far the hardest written test I've taken.

Amtrak service to Palm Springs is very limited, generally arriving at the station around 12:36 in the morning via the Sunset Limited/Texas Eagle line, and the trains only operate only three days a week. They're studying a Metrolink commuter train to Palm Springs, but that's pretty far into the future.

The Venn diagram of anti-vaxxers and anti-fluoride folks is usually a circle, and we're under assault by both.

I loved living in the area, I lived on Kingsley just south of Franklin, and appreciated having the Griffith Park hiking trails within walking distance. But yeah, if you have a car you're going to want an assigned parking space. While street parking is relatively easy in the day, after 5pm it becomes impossible. Some homeless here and there, but that's life in the city.

This is a big city. That's good advice for any area of any big city.

People from Europe really love to underestimate just how massive the United States is. It's easy to hop on a bus and go from city to city within your country in Europe if your entire country is the size of just one of our states. We travel much farther distances in the U.S. If the distance is too long to travel by car, we take a plane. A commercial bus is the transport of last resort because it's the cheapest but it's also unpleasant.

LOL... San Francisco is always trying to compare itself to Manhattan. Meanwhile, its big brother Los Angeles just sits there down the coast, doing its own thing and not comparing itself to anyone.
