The lack of condensation in CA is having its exceptions like everything else.
When I bought 40 years old car that was park its whole life under the tree and bare metal on suspension barely had any corrosion "patina" - I have seen San Francisco balconies where 1/4" thick steel on balcony railing turned into dust.
Good news is that Ocean salty breeze is having short range.
Don't think anybody made statistics, but doesn't seem to affect farther than 1/4 mile.
Same story with Florida cars, that usually are corrosion free, till you buy from a guy who has house on the beach.
