It could be worst, we have great jobs if your skilled, and everything you could think of is close enough to drive too, (REDWOODS,SD,SF,VEGAS,BAJA TO NAME A FEW). The pay offsets the rent/gas too. wE HAVE A SUPER COOL ROTARY COMMUNITY( As long as you stay out of the damn Santa Clamitia). I have a 1 bedroom in Gardena with my chick, not that great(under 6 bills with gas paid for heat and the stove), but I dont want to spend all my cash on rent. The closer you get to the ocean the more you pay. LAX is next to Inglewood and Hawthorne with lots of APT's with resonable rents. HATERS ARE THE GUYS THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE. Dont be hating because you get more good 7 parts out of CA that any other state BY FAR!

I've lived all over the country and the entire nation has pretty much the same view of Texass. And dude, you're from Austin....that city would fit RIGHT in in Cali, bunch of texas liberal hippies. You live in the one city where the rest of the state would like to disown.
The snobbery of Dallas is on par with most of coastal Cali (except the uppity parts of LA) and Houston matches LA in terms of size, pollution and all around crappiness.
4 1/2 years in Texas, running up to 7 years in San Diego...and I'm ready now to leave here too.

I can't get into Nascar because it's too much like watching someone ELSE play Super Sprint on the Nintendo for 3 hours. The cars are all the same, and I can't make myself care about the drivers.
"The guy we want to win is the one in the blue car. Whoa, did you see how close to the wall he got? He'd better turn left a LITTLE MORE next time! Wow, did you see that red car? He's really out to get that yellow car! If we're lucky, maybe he'll hit that oil slick, spin into the wall and explode!"

So bad that it defies the laws of space and time!
Actually, I think he's technically saying "I live an hour away from Los Angeles, but at rush hour it can take way longer"

It's like Santa Claus for Grownups...
Be Good, and don't break your toys (motor) this year, or there won't be a Sevenstock....

I like it out here in California. Yeah houses and gas are expensive, but that's just all part of the cost of living. When I was in the military I used to hear it from everyone about how much california sucks and how the state that they came from was better. I didn't care either way. I grew up here, lived in other places and I've got to say, I like it here.
I've got a few friends that live near LAX. One friend works for Customs out in LAX and she lives in Torrance, I don't know how much she's paying for rent, but her apartment is pretty decent.
There are a few stuck up people out here, but not as many as you'd think. Most of the stuck ups are the uber rich people. Girls are approachable as long as you're not self consious and aren't afraid to talk to them. You could usually tell if a girl is going to be a bitch or not by the way she looks and/or acts.
Sometimes cops can be ********, but if you're polite, they'll be nice. They only really pull you over if you're doing something really stupid or your car sounds like an old civic.
Rush hour traffic sucks, I mean, it really really sucks! If you time things right, you won't have a problem with it, but it isn't entirely avoidable. The intesity of traffic really depends on where you are, where you are going, which freeways you are taking, and at what times.
The good thing is that everything is only a drive away. You've got mountains, snow, beach, forrest, desert, farmland, wine country, Mexico, lakes, etc. etc.
All and all, California isn't a bad place to live.

Oh, but if you plan on moving to California, Siros, I'll watch your RX7 for you. If you can't pass emissions in Dallas, you're not going to have a chance in California.

its a matter of depending on cars nowadays and no matter what people ar still going to be driving...but there's always alternative roads one can take if you know which one's are they....and for road rage i guess its L.A and people cope with it more now....what can you do if a mini truck flipped over and took all the lanes except the car pool??

Go break out the lawn chairs, the BBQ and sit there and roast some smores...
That's what most other people do... Everybody bitches about traffic, and how one accident F's it all up, and yet nobody can controll their impulse to gawk....
Hypocrites!
