Evidently you can live longer by going to Disneyland and riding on Splash Mountain.

Bella Vista and Splash Mountain share an inner-Earth vortex connection. It's no mystery that longevity is higher in both places. IQ's are also higher, with the exception of the "It's a Small World" ride, which inexplicably lies outside the vortex zone.

Highest crime in OC too. Running from criminals and barricading your doors each night is good exercise!

This thread gave me a good laugh,some one has to be kidding.As part of the Greater LA/OC Metropoliran area Anaheim has some of the worst air quality in the nation.Horrible traffic,high unemployment,extremely high cost of living,and a city swarming with illegal aliens all contribute to a high stress level.This is a healthy city?I live here,and soon will be a former resident and be far away from SoCal.

I agree Blackshoe. The reason the for the high age group is that they are the holdovers who own their house, have Prop 13 property tax bills, and never moved after retiring. Disneyland does not cater to older people. Older people do not go on fast rides or like to wait in lines. They also do not like to pay $6.00 for a hamburger or $2.50 for a coke. Most of Orange County is unhealthy: smog, illegal aliens, poor drivers, horrible traffic, noise, over-crowding and a very high cost of living. I too am close to leaving.

It seems to be the predominate pattern now... people come to CA to get something and once they have it... leave.

So many of those I know "Cashed Out" and left the State... it is tempting when WA and NV have no income tax and OR has no sales tax..

More that a couple have moved to WA and cross the Columbia to do their shopping in OR... I can only speculate on how they handle taxes due in WA

When ever taxes increase here it's a trigger that sends another group packing...
