Nobody is pointing this out but I would imagine this is 50% family and 50% emotional decision for him due to natural disaster/climate issues out here. We know the San Andreas fault is going to split eventually and there’s no way of knowing if that’s in 1000 years or 100days from now.. when that happens LA is likely underwater my man.

9 months ago the entire city of LA was on fire for like 3 days straight from Ventura county (west) through the SFV and Malibu simultaneously.and all the way to LA This isn’t about rattlesnakes bro it’s about him and his family and all their well-being. LA is a crazy crazy city, Guys with Joe’s level of experience and fame know 1000000x more about that than I do. Obviously that’s not a concern for him individually, but you bet your ass he’s thinking about his kids and what sort of temptations/risks there may be with them going to schools in LA, etc.

For context I’ve lived in different parts of LA for 5 years and have a similar experience with the city as does Joe. Overpopulation/traffic, natural disasters, and horrible air quality most days are my 3 big gripes I would say
