Where do tree hugging, vegetarian liberals belong in OC? (San Diego: schools, military)

I disagree... Venice/Hermosa Beach is more like the Santa Cruz of So Cal IMHO. Even still, it has a unique So Cal vibe to it. Nothing in OC is remotely similar to the Bay area in any way. I love what both have to offer.

It is good to see that Orange County has its own identity.

We here are mostly moderate democrats (yuk) but better than far left and the others are severe far right. we currently for aliso viejo, dana point, san juan, san clemente, laguna niguel and mission viejo are putting together a tea party for the 15th so no big disagreement with prior posts. Not true, you want liberals go to Irvine and keep on going until you hit LA. All your kind will be there.

HOW PROUD YOU MUST BE.

Yep, there you have it, straight from the horse's mouth. You'll run into this all over OC, so heed this sort of warning before you're surrounded in the street (or on your lawn). Where they label people as "your kind" is not where you want to raise your kids. Head north. Your Scotts Valley idea is a good one.

I hope this is not a reflection of the education system in Orange County. The grammar in the statement is pathetic. Typical.

Seriously.

Speaking as a product of the Capistrano Unified School District, allow me to say it is not an accurate reflection.

I've a friend who lives in Pasadena who thinks it's a fantastically liberal place but I've only been for a few days so I can't say with much authority!

Good luck!

Pasadena would be great for you. Very liberal but not hippie liberal. People look pretty conservative the way they dress, etc. but in general they are not (which is why our conservative family was happy to move to OC.) It's still pretty far from Pomona though.

Thanks for your input everyone. Right now we are looking at Encinitas San Diego.

OC of today is more liberal than many Bay Area suburbs were 20 years ago. It's all relative.
