Those pictures of the beaches are really nice, but the thing I hate about SoCal's beaches are how congested they are, with all the tiny beach shacks along the coast. They are hiding it's beauty. California is such a beautiful place, it's too bad.

I know these aren't LA or Boston, but these are the type of beaches I like







It's just as beautiful without all the ugly little houses.
Oh, these were from Flickr, and they're of Oregon

Im talking USA history, not pre-USA Mexican history. And if you want to explore USA history, Boston has far more treasures than L.A. If you want Mexican history, L.A. is the place. Catch my drift?

And just plain landslides, which can occur whenever.

I'm glad I don't live by all that.

Hey, with all do respect to California.... you couldn't pay me to live there. We may have tornados and an occasional flash flood, but I'd take that over earthquakes, forest fires/wildfires, landslides, blackouts, over-the-top expensive living, and a governer who can't even speek good english anyday.
