Reply #28: Presumes a fact not necessarily in evidence..........

I have an uneasy relationship with this place that I have lived in fully half of my life......

But I love the cultural diversity, and the mild winters (the fierce summers are another thing....), and the availability of unusual restaurants, and most of my clients, and my work.

I don't love how almost everyone suffers in varying degrees from "hurry disease", and how many of them treat me like a McDonald's cashier instead of a medical professional, and the 119-degree summer heat that goes on for months, and the very poorly-informed and poorly-educated people who predominate in my community. I hate the fast and expensive foreign cars racing up and down the streets day and night with subwoofers and tailpipes blaring, and I especially hate their drivers.
