But its also very crowded, crime ridden and has a poor state government. Depite this many people come from all over the world to "make it big" there, some are sucessful, most aren't...

| Orange County isnt that bad of a place to live in. Every state has its problems.
There are parts of California thats over crowded, and parts that are wide open.
Pisis probably would want to live in the san fernando valley area since thats the heart of the porn industry

| Flyboy, I bought my house in Orange in 2000, for $235,000. Now its worth about $675,000. And its nothing special, just 1100 sq ft house on a 7000 sq ft lot.
I figure in a few more years, it will be worth a million. Thats when I sell and move. Id love to retire to Bali and open a pub there. I want to give it a PTO decor..... Japanese planes vs Aussie and US planes!
Erich, you ever go to Joshua Tree national Park and do some rock climbing?
