This is true. I find So-Cal to be anti-social.

It's shocking how many SD natives don't own a passport. Questionable priorities: focused on cars, football season tickets and bottle service. Very simplistic mindsets.

The tradeoff isn't so great. The area has the makings to be an amazing area, but if the traffic is really that terrible, then I don't even know if I want to go and spend money even to visit.

That's a common saying and I believe it to be true. If the people are boring, the town will be by default.

You haven't seen boring until you've been to Las Cruces, NM. Makes city in SoCal feel like Vegas

And for all its faults, L.A. is not anywhere near the pool of cities that the casual observer may consider as boring.

SoCal is boring like the middle of Mississippi is a hotbed of excitement.
