LIFE IN L.A.
As a near-lifelong resident of Los Angeles County, it’s hard to imagine living any other place. Where else is there such a moderate climate and cultural diversity? Where else can an hour’s drive take us to museums, the beach, the mountains or to Disneyland? Yet a person doesn’t even have to pick up a newspaper to realize that crime, pollution and traffic congestion are all ever-present and increasing threats to us. These are problems that must be dealt with before L.A. becomes an overpopulated, lawless jungle.
