i just moved from Fresno to La about a year ago...and so far i have no regrets...there's much opportunity down here for people to be successful with their career. The people who say its ugly are just ignorant. You can't beat 70 degree weather with clear skies in the mid-winter. Smog only gets bad during the summer. I've seen Oakland and i wouldn't move there. I gots to say IMO that its the ugliest city i've even seen in Cali next to Huron, Cali (but i don't consider huron a city, its more like a undeveloped village.)Anyway, if i could choose any 3 cities it would be
1. San Diego (Anything above the downtown area)
2. East Los Angles County (Pomona, Glendora, Walnut)
3. Anywhere in between (Irvine, Oceanside, Laguna)
