I get down to San Diego for work a couple times a year. Aside from the traffic at Naval Base San Diego (aka 32nd St.) in the morning, I actually like driving in SoCal. Most people drive like they know what they're doing and have someplace to be. The food there, especially Mexican is AMAZING. However I wouldn't want to live there due to the ridiculous gun laws, the strict but admittedly necessary smog laws, and the cost of living. I'd probably have to make at least 60% more than I do now to maintain the same standard of living there that I have in Cartoon City. And you can't smoke in a bar in California.
