I get the sunny weather, the close proximity to the big city, yet I can drive over the speed limit on the freeway during rush hours, my city is always in the top ten for safest cities in the country, I don't see grafitti and I'm 25 minutes from the beach and 90 minutes from snowboarding. I rarely deal with LAX because I have a smaller, yet still major airport 20 minutes away. My biggest gripe about my city is that I wish the mountains stayed green year round. But I guess with warm weather most of the year, summers bring beige mountains. I wish our southern mountains were a bit lower too, so more marine layer would come in and cool us off on the really hot days. But for the most part, I really like it here.
Which city are you in, Ice?
