Opinion of Orange County, CA

[Liberalrocks]

I live in Los Angeles County--Hollywood.

I have some family that live in coastal orange county which isnt as bad as the inland area's as others have stated.

Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach and Dana Point would be the only area's that I like. As a gay man of my personal interest these cities also had eithier voted no, or came close to a no vote on prop 8.  The coast line is very beautiful and I love Laguna Beach.

However the inland area's are where I would avoid:
Buena Park, Cypress, La Palma, Yorba Linda, Placentia, La Habra, Orange, Brea, Villa Park, E Anaheim. Parts of Fullerton, Ghetto Santa Ana and Garden (Garbage) Grove and ALL area's that border Riverside County....The IE is an armpit. (Im sure Ive missed a few more horrible area's but you get the idea.)

I voted HC but have mixed feelings.... Cant stand the politics of the county. That alone could make it a HC. I also do have personal history with the county having lived in Anaheim years ago (thought I was the only Kerry vote there). While some coastal pockets and area's are nice its just not enough for me to give the county as a whole a positive opinion...HC or Neutral at best.
