Well Cynthia, that "hotbed of conservatism" thing might have been true back when there were actually more orange groves than suburban tract homes there...okay, up until about 10 years ago or so(those orange groves all pretty much vanished about 30 years ago or so)...but they've come around to reason nowdays!
(of course I typed that to get a rise out of a few "Real Conservatives" around here...IT WAS A FRIGGIN' JOKE, SO LET'S NOT SIDETRACK RYAN'S THREAD HERE FOLKS...okay?!)
Okay Ryan, here's a little info for ya.
Like almost every place, the closer you get to the water the more expensive real estate becomes. And the more expensive the real estate the better the schools and the less crime there is. Not that Orange Co. has a major crime problem or anything, it doesn't, but like everyplace there are "pockets" of course.
Now, housing prices are dropping(like everywhere right now), but it is still one of the higher priced markets in the country.
The weather...PERFECT...all year long, which of course means ridin' all year long in "perfect" weather.
The people...somewhat distant, hard working and "nice" overall, especially once ya get to know 'em. Just like most other places.
(in other words...forget every friggin' stereotype you've ever heard about "Southern Kalifornians"...there's goofballs and lowlifes in just about the same percentage as the rest of the country, but there's MORE PEOPLE here, which consequently of course means MORE goofballs and lowlifes)
Hope this helps.
