The best thing about living in California is listening to people gripe about how unbearable a place it is to live and how they can't wait to leave. Unfortunately the state must be full of people without any initiative because no one ever does and more stream in every day. Most of what people complain about are the very things in place to make it a place worthy to live. Doesn't make all of the rules right but it beats the alternative of no environmental regulations at all in the most populous state in the union. Check the recent news reoprt about the air quality in China. Reminds me of the Los Angeles area back int he 60's. Seven of the ten counties with the worst air pollution in the United States are in California. American Lugn Association "State of the Air" Puts a whole new meaning to the phrase "Suck it up".

Your absolutely right. Unless one has grown up in the 60s in Southern California they can't begin to understand why CARB makes these kind of rules. I remember the summertime in the San Gabriel Valley when the visibility on a hot summer day was less than 5 miles due to all the stuff in the air.

I did retire and leave the state because 32 million people were there with me and it seems they were on all the same roads and at all the same venues. TOO CROWDED!

I listed my house for double what I paid and it sold in three days! Imagine people wanting to live in such a crummy place!:)
