Opinion of Orange County, CA

FC. Very beautiful. Great freeways. Some good schools in the country. Not as great as LA Country however.

I'm willing to bet the majority of HC voters have never been to OC.

Objectively horrible; there's something about the morass of Southern California suburbia that makes it especially awful. Only Kern County is worse.

FC. Very beautiful. Great freeways.

Only the toll roads could possibly be described as "great", and those of course have the fundamental problem of requiring tolls. In any case, when the second positive thing that comes to mind about a place is the freeways, it probably doesn't have much going for it.

I drive to San Diego from LA County frequently. When you drive through OC a lot, freeways become pretty great.

I've never seen I-35W look anything like that unless there's an accident or something else holding up traffic. That pic is awful and indeed representative of why I'd never want to even visit there.

Like I said, most people hating on OC have never even been there...

That picture would the 405 in LA County on it's worst day. The OC comes no where close. Freeway traffic isn't really a problem if you're smart about it.

But if you want to stay in the ubiquitous wasteland that is Minnesota, be my guest. It's beach weather on the coast today, and the ski slopes are open in the Mountains.

West Coast, Best Coast.
