Well I am mental but...

My parents moved us here when I was a little kid so I grew up here. It was really fun here then in the 60's and 70's. My biggest mistake was not moving back in the 80's or early 90's.

You might be surprised at how nice the west coast is from Central California up through Oregon and Washington and then Canada, British Columbia. Vancouver has exploded in population but the rest is wide open.

Long Beach where I am now is just surrounded by too many people. I should look it up but I'm going to guess the population had quadrupled or more in southern California. There used to be lots of open land south of me to San Diego. Now the developers have filled it up. Somebody got rich lol.

Oh and I'm really sick of endless summer and no rain.
