What It's Really Like Living in Southern California

- Does everyone in Southern California hate it?
Is everyone leaving California?
And is it super expensive and hard to find an affordable home?
We'll answer those questions and more. So grab some tacos and hop on the 10, we're going to Unbox Southern California.
Southern California. The land that once was great. It’s still okay in some parts, but MAN are people here doin their best to trash it and change it and make it not desirable.
Anyways, lots of people move here every single year. They do their homework on home prices and crime and they STILL want to come. And they are lost, I tell ya. Lost. Most people don’t know where to move. Like Goldilocks, they want the perfect place.
Anyways, that’s what this is all about. I’m gonna break down every single part of Southern California and let you know exactly what to expect if you move here. It’s a pretty big place, and no matter your background, education, your wealth or entertainment needs, there’s somewhere for everyone. Just just have to know where to look. Now I’m no realtor, but I know a lot about this place, so I can give you a tour.
Ooh. Look. Traffic. We didn’t get very far. I was all enthusiastic about really discovering this place and then BAM. We’re stuck. We’re not going to be able to see Southern California easily like this. You know what - I’ll just get a map out and while we’re sitting here in traffic, I’ll point out all the places you need to know about.

The best video on this topic!
Here is my entire Unboxing Series: ruclips.net/p/PLq-_cmf3H6yqgM1vGG305six5T7dqGURF
Sounds very accurate. I'm surprised you know so many details about so many places. I left in 1990 mostly because of the traffic. It was terrible in every direction on every road in RIVERSIDE which is a long way from LA. And now the prices are insane. The 2 bedroom 1 bath house I bought for $25,500 in 1978 is now supposedly worth half a million dollars? That's nuts. Norco is horse town. The only way you could get a place there was to know someone who was leaving (at least back then). Pedley and Bloomington were also horse areas. Probably not so much now.
I had horses in Temecula or Rancho California as the real estate industry prefers to dub it. Crazy expensive huge houses on 5 acres halfway between San Diego and LA and nowhere close to commute to work. Back then, the people building there were retiring from Orange and LA Counties. They'd sell in those expensive places and could afford to build a McMansion on 5 acres. Lots of retired fire department people moved there back then.
Actor Jack Klugman had a place across from the training track. Super nice guy. The Mexican grooms called his place "Taco Bell" because of the big entryway you could see from the barns and track.
Please delete this video and it needs to get better lot of opportunities
I’m from the IE, live in San Diego, and wife is from Victorville. Can confirm this is all accurate.
Victorville. The h.d.its not bad up here.
@@brianmatthews4149 In terms of crime it's a shithole in comparison to what it was even 5 years ago. Homelessness is increasing as well but the worst problem by far is the illegal dumping of trash and waste in the desert, it's everywhere, and I mean that. I've been riding my quad out in the desert for years and used to only see trash dumped far out into the desert nowadays ist everywhere whithin the city limits, its sad.
I was born and raised in Victorville, it's pretty garbage
Hi. How "s life in San Diego?
Grew up in Apple Valley
The closer you get to the Mexico border, the Mexican food gets better.
For reals they make killer rice and beans too 😁
My biggest problem is just too many homeless people and too many Mexicans living in California
I’m from MA and I’ll tell you it can be a hit or miss finding good Mexican food
I disagree. People travel. I have had good Mexican food all over CA. There is more of it tho in SoCal.
@@mattyee9369 Cali by far does it really good been there myself
Unboxing Northern California up next pls.
ewww....
@@UnchainedAmerica Why ''ewww''? Lmfao
yesss
@@UnchainedAmerica
Ha ha ha! I agree -- Northern Cali is a big ew, too. Trying to decide where to go next.
@@karenbrown4524 It's not, we got beautiful landscapes. We don't need those libtard big cities.
Everyone under 40 in SoCal are still stuck either living with their parents 'cause they can't afford their own home, or stuck sharing an apartment with roommates.
Speak for yourself😂😂😂
Pretty much. The sad fact is salaries are not nearly enough to have the same standard of living in so cal as almost anywhere else in the country.
@@Tooill4daIRS exactly! I'm not one of them! Lmao
Yeah...no. Lol Owned a home in socal at 25, had several single apartments by myself before then, and I'm 35 now. I'm not rich (yet 😏) but I've lived in above average situations. Good job, no kids. 🤷🏽♀️💁🏽♀️
@China Boss awww! I wish you the best
It makes sense to be homeless in California because if you're going to be living outdoor, you might as well pick a place with good weather.
California gets so cold though
@@Declan_Payan maybe in the mountains lol come to the Midwest or northeast in January and then tell me cali gets cold 😂
@@Declan_Payan you talking 45 degrees? Shorts and Sweatshirt weather
Well, sort of, but despite the nice weather, people are mean to you when you’re homeless, there are very few resources and it is illegal to sleep in your car. Being homeless in CA is a death sentence
@Angello! R. no, that is completely backwards. Other state governments encourage prisoners to go there so they don’t have to deal with them anymore. Sometimes it just the difference between a bus ticket for them instead of a longer sentence
As someone who’s been born and raised in SoCal. This video is spot on.
@J B makes no sense
@J B you have no idea where I live I just said the video was spot on I e been all over SoCal. I probably live better than you, I hope that approve more of that unemployment for you lol
@J B if you want to face time I can show you how to make 6 figures a year. But ppl just be trolling instead of working hard and starting businesses.
@J B you commented on me. Troll
Not quite, close. Compton and Inglewood are not even remotely been cleaned up and still way more dangerous than long beach
Sadly the homeless is getting bad in San Diego :(
La too
@@Armando.Sepulveda yes bc is covid :(
NYC getting worse and worse 🥺
@@Armando.Sepulveda
It’s BEEN bad in La for a while now
Long before COVID
@@josh021588 not that bad only like 10k
Long beach near the coast is actually really nice, North Long Beach is where it gets pretty bad
Belmont Shore is really nice
Nice only on the look, everything else is just as bad.
I lived in several places in SoCal but my favorite was Long Beach.
@@thomaslanguell7257 yeah, near the beach it is fun and you find everything that you need riding bike or walking distance! Way better than Hermosa Beach or even Irvine
I lived in Bluff Park on 2nd street. The weather was always perfect. A good place if you're a college student or LGBTQ, but not for families.
Do this on Northern California because I love how detailed the Southern California one is.
I agree, and Central California, too.....amazing state....
Yes please. They are two different worlds. And central of course
Yeah, Northern and Central are heaven. But SoCal... ew.
@@b_rah mostly. yea.... its gone to hell in a hand basket since this was filmed.
well he’s from socal so it might be a little hard..
A well prepared and edited script, and a lot of fun to watch as well as telling us real social and geographical info. Nick J is now quite a phenomenon on these American road journeys. And of course the vocal quality strength in the song t the end is just well .. and I just learned an American term " tract home" .
Hey, Nick. I travel the country most of the year and I love your videos. They help out a lot, learning about different states, what to expect and what’s there. Appreciate all your hard work, dedication and honesty in your videos. Thanks man!
Ok Alex
three words: crowded, crowded, and crowded.
“Too many people “ Paul Mcartney
@A Brash Unapologetic Conservative agreed...And people still keep going along with it
@A Brash Unapologetic Conservative another civil war
Mexifornia
@jamesmack3314 that is not what that song is about.
Nick I'm told that everything in SoCal is named after things that used to be there, but have since been plowed under. So Isla Vista used to have a view of the Islands, Orange County used to grow oranges and Los Angeles used to have angels.
Haha
I mean, Los Angeles started off as a Spanish mission.
you got the mendezes bros. .. oj simpson .. richard ramierez .. newsome .. the v-13 .. and the lapd .. car jacking capital of the world .. bloods and crips .. hell , not enough halos to go around !..
Even Antelope valley?
Nick, everything you said is true about anyone thinking of moving to Southern California. I'm glad you have the strength to be truthful because not many people desire being honest and that's sad. Thank you for exposing this land as it is. That's reality.
Damn, brother! You nailed it! "They either drive too fast because they're nuts, or too slow because they're stoned!" LMAO! Thanks, subscribed. P.S. I moved out years back, but for a couple of encores.
Me too Scott!
Nick... you did it! Seriously you're the best. I couldn't help but think all the first unboxing videos (NY, California, Florida & Texas) got the short stick because their videos are so short and not very detailed in comparison to the rest of the states but they're the most popular ones. I'm so happy you're doing this.
I'm tryin here :)
@@NickJohnson He's right. Your videos got a lot better. Yay! 😁
Love your videos and the fact that you actually know what you’re talking about.
It was a good move 25yrs ago
He's from Southern California now living in North Carolina.
Haha no shits givin😂😂😂 This channel doesn’t hold back. Fucking GOLD!
I love Nick! He’s honest
Right haha. I love this dude's channel.
I would roast my home state of California but I have family there so I really can’t. Haha
The way things should be
Am literally devastated that you skipped over my home town of Costa Mesa you even showed footage of driving past triangle square 😞
Ha, devastated here too. Different area, he went all around it but didn't quite hit it. I was interested to see what he would say.
Costa misery
Costa Mesa is the city you pass by to get to new port lol
Missed Cerritos, Lakewood, La Palma Cypress and Norwalk. My old stopping ground :/
@@everythingisfine9988 CA is a big place. Can't get them all I guess :P
the only mistake you made was saying there were not many homeless in downtown San Diego. There are tons, I live here and see them all the time. Not as bad as LA but still very bad. Miles and miles but only along particular streets.
Same with Santa Barbara right on State Street especially.
Majority of the homeless are from the states where you don't want to be homeless because it's either too cold in the winter or too hot during the summer. It is why the coastal states have the lion's share of the homeless population. Admit it, who wants to be homeless in Topeka, Kansas or Oklahoma City, OK? California has got work to do in addressing homelessness, but let's understand that the number is exacerbated by the influx of those who are struggling coming from mostly midwestern states. Just ask them where they're from and you'll see.
Same. San Diego resident here. I guess if you compare to LA, we have a drop in the bucket
@andydguitar do you really wanna be homeless with a dew point at 80 degrees or higher? That has got to be the most oppressive heat especially when you’re homeless. On the west coast, it might soar past 100 degrees but if you can find shade, you’ll have some relief. With humidity, unless you’re in an air conditioned room, you’re gonna be uncomfortably sticky.
Yep. I have lived in SD 25 years and it is bad downtown. Not good in the outskirts either with people living in canyons etc
Can you do Northern California?
Loved this Nick! Your breakdown of CA is spot on. I moved here in 2020 and yes, there are lots of issues here and it's expensive, but I can't say I haven't enjoyed living here.
Oh really?
Glad you enjoy your time here! CA has a lot of unique amenities you can't get elsewhere
California used to be nice back in the 1980s let me tell you something it will never ever be back to the way it used to be
@@America1st69 you are absolutely correct, I lived in Southern California in the 80s it was wonderful great fantastic I loved it. Nope it's not even the shadow of what it used to be not even close to the shadow of it's former self. It was a very Free place. Lot's of fun, club's girl's, music great food, very much safer and easier liveable, lot's of job's back then it was affordable. The Beaches we're great. Lot's of great food. People were partying having a great time. I lived my best day's in southern California in the 80s. It was wonderful then. It was living a dream.
You actually moved to here in 2020?? WTF
Are you some kind of masochist?
I appreciate your honesty 🤘🏽
Maybe 40 years ago, I would’ve moved to Southern California. Today, HEEELLLLLL NAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
Not gonna lie but I agree with you, in that place it seems to be full of douchebags, gold diggers, and teen celebs, and oh, it's always cloudy due of the air pollution.
Aha
The South is well known to be the armpit of America.
@@chrisv9186 Florida is the doodle of America.
I was born and raised here and I definitely agree with you. I’d only live here if you have a super high paying job that only exists in Southern CA (entertainment, tech, some finance). Otherwise I’d recommend other states for better opportunities/quality of life - Texas, Utah, Nevada come to mind.
Btw, the majority of homeless in SoCal are from Washington, Colorado, NY and other cold states. I worked at a non profit. They move here for the weather, free government benifits and drugs.
LOVE your vids. Entertaining and educational!! ❤️❤️❤️ TY!
The honesty in this video is awesome. As an otr trucker who lived in Vegas... this is spot tf on!
Still loving your videos. I laugh every time. You say what everyone is thinking.
As a person who was born in Tarzana and lived in Toluca Lake / North Hollywood for the first 18 years of my life you made me laugh out loud and feel sad/nostaligic all at the same time! California will always be my true home. Its the best state in the country bar none I don't care what the haters say. Im tempted to move back from time to time and very well may move back at some point.
The haters should shut up and they are mean and no more issues
Dont do it....its gotten bad...Im tryina get out lol smh.
I like how you tell the truth about each town. You are spot on.
Thanks for making this video. Super entertaining, I laughed a lot.
ok jeff
As a born native of so cal this is 100% accurate description , I can’t argue with any of it
I love Southern California! I lived all around the area growing up. San Diego County, orange county, Ventura County. Now I live in Northern California. The bay area in Santa Clara county. Northern California isn’t as fun. It’s too cold. I miss Southern California. ❤️😎
I’m in Thousand Oaks it’s been nice the weather
Jasmine Angie, you’re right Northern California, isn’t as fun, and cold. But I like the cold.
Grew up all over Socal as well. Just moved to Oxnard, weather is awesome. Love all farms near by and the beach. But the prices are crazy in socal.
My sister has lived in the Bay Area for nearly 30 years in Benicia, near Vallejo, concord, Walnut Creek. Very nice area but unaffordable anymore. Lucky they bought a house back in the 90s.
I absolutely love these unboxings 👍🏻👍🏻
Exactly the video I was looking for. Thank you!
I can't stop watching these
I’ve lived in the I.E my whole life coming from Rubidoux,, and I must say sir,,, Excellent description!!! You are absolutely right about every single city, section & stereotype of the good ole Southland!! Good job buddy 👏👏
Boom!
Nick Johnson your a legend excellent reviews as always thank you!!😃👍👍
Hi Garie!
This is seemingly the least data driven analysis I've ever seen yet its also the most helpful lol. Thank you, subscribed!
3 decades living in California...this video gives me confidence in your other videos about places I haven't been but will soon move to.
Ok Vince
Love your style/humor. No PC bullcrap. You call it as it is. As a life long NYer looking to escape, your honesty on different areas is appreciated.
You totally crack me up! Love your videos. I currently live in the inland empire and your spot on with all your descriptions! Hahahaha 😂😂😂
I know he was cracking me up I’m having fun reading the comments. I lived on my life in Southern California until 2008. My daughter lives in Murietta and she was very blessed to find an affordable townhome. But it’s so expensive and so hot in the inland empire. My other daughter lives in Anaheim I raised my older kids up in the Mission Viejo area near Irvine
@Cherise Haase hey IE neighbor!! 😊 So accurate right? Lol
@@honeybfly2010 spot on for sure! Lol
Lol 😂
@@texasgina That's nice 👍
Great video Nick, thanks
EXCEPTIONAL VIDEO. GOT A LOT OUT OF IT. THANK YOU!
Pretty accurate Nick. Love your breakdown. I am from Beaumont Ca. We love our area. It’s growing and nice.
Very cool!
Nick, you forgot mentioned Alhambra, Monterey Park, Rosemead and San Gabriel.
- Asian everywhere.
- A lot of Asian authentic foods
- A lot Asian can't drive and drive very slow. BE VERY CAREFUL ON I-10, They enter the freeway very slow, from slow lane to fast lane going 55 mph.
Are u sure its all asians that drive slow? Or is just the old asians
@@SammyxSweetheart.02 Both. Mostly F.O.B that can't drive or don't understand the laws. Ex: Yield - THEY DON'T YIELD for ANYONE.
I can agree with that I’m Vietnamese but I hate going to Vietnamese area because I almost got hit while crossing the street when I have the right
He did what everyone does when mentioning the San Gabriel Valley, he called it Pasadena. 🤣
Whenever anyone out of the area asks me where I live, I either tell them Pasadena or Los Angeles.
So fun and interesting listening to you! Saving this lol.
These videos are informative and funny.
Greetings from Finland.
The Mojave Desert is actually a nice place. You just need to afford the cooling. A swamp cooler works well in the desert. Going to the mountains is fun. Just as good as the beach. And places like Victorville and Hesperia have great Mexican restaurants.
Nice, i was looking for a video like this about SoCal- from Glendale.
I love your blatant honesty. Even when you're making fun of me. I find it refreshing. I love your little jingles too. Keep it up bud 👍
this vid is one the best one in your collection must certain ! they way you broke down SoCal is beyond amazing you made sound sooooooo easy ! in reality is a beast itself !
San Diego, Palm Springs, Riverside, Temecula, Carlsbad, Laguna, they’re probably the best places in Southern California, its not a horrible place to live as long as you avoid LA and San Bernardino. (Edit: y’all gotta stop hating if you’ve never been to certain places 😂 and yes most of the places I listed are decent if you have money that’s how California is don’t be butt hurt about it)
La habra in orange county is cool. Theres alot of cops for a small city but it keeps the peace haha
Riverside is Ghetto Moreno Valley trash
as long as you have the money:)
Riverside and Temecula?! Nahhh
Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, and Irvine are also nice.
I moved from San Diego to Charlotte NC a few years ago! Best decision! I lived in Hemet for 6 months of hell in my early 20’s. Terrible city.
Nothing like the queens city.
I moved from Dana Point to Louisiana and I’m in love.
I live in Perris, but that's a separate can of worms, but I remember when we moved to this area from L.A in 1990 Hemet was really nice. In fact back then it was said that it had more wealth per capita than Beverly Hills, I'm not too sure about that but it was a huge retirement community and there weren't that many questionable people running around, just a lot of old people driving slow in their Cadillac's and Mercedes Benz. Now it's just very sad there, It's so run down and scary looking. When the economy tanked back in about 2008 a lot of places in Hemet became section 8 housing, so that was part of the downfall.
I have watched a bunch of your videos. This one was hilarious! Wish it was an hour long!
I live in the basin, your analysis of the region is amazing!
The Basin is definitely run down but there are pockets of good communities in some of the cities.
Loves the video!
Just so you know I took a drive down to Santa Barbara the other day I moved to Glendale 3 years ago but I was born and raised in East Hollywood / Los Feliz area about 15 minutes away from here. However I went to Santa Barbara the other day and there were homeless encampments EVERYWHERE it's like downtown LA yeah it's really bad there now too. As soon as you exit the freeway you're greeted by blue tarp encampments with trash strewn all over the place.
Wow that’s really sad we started getting some homeless camps underneath the freeway overpasses between San Antonio and Austin and the cops went and tore them down and moved the people out! They’re there not gonna put up with that crap here
When I was raising my younger kids in South Orange County I think I only saw one homeless person in the whole time I lived there. California is not the California I knew and it’s really sad I miss my family but I can’t afford to live there governor Newsom is crazy
It’s too damn expensive to live here!!!! Traffic!!!! Crowded!!! Forget about buying a house here!
Hi, Nick. Love your videos. Lots of information. Honest too. Awesome. Keep up the good work. I'm a fan.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great, like usual... always look forward to new videos. The singing brought tears to my eyes.
🥲
Wow, you must be from here. Great description of how it is today. I love Southern California. Its falling down as I speak. The Southern California of my youth is never coming back. (valley, west side, hollywood, Fairfax. Actually the world I want doesn’t exist anymore. 😂 I saw it begin around 2000. WAY to many people here now. It was a good ride. Hopefully it’s future is blessed to those who don’t remember how great it truly was. Ignorance is bliss.
As a someone who grew up in the Valley, went to UCLA, lived in West Hollywood, Mar Vista, and Belmont Shore in Long Beach...and then moved to New Zealand in 1976, I can only say...I’m so glad I live in New Zealand...
🇳🇿
Yeah, New Zealand seems like THE move to make as an American.
@@Whatsth3ruckus it’s really not. NZ is so isolated and property is so expensive. It’s not for everyone. Australia is preferable
Enjoy living under big brother
Great sense of humor 😂 love this
Dude, you are hilarious 🤣🤣🤣.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video and want to say “Thank You” 👍🏼
hey jeff do you live there?
Playa Del Rey, was brief but spot on! Coming from the Northeast, it’s pretty nice here in February. But, when you sell Industrial real estate some of the areas that are rougher can be kind of nice, it’s all perspective
I left San Diego for GA 2 months ago. The homeless population is growing there, and its far too expensive compared to what you get in return.
yep definitely not getting what u pay for in sd. kind of a ripoff
How’s GA
Is there a lot of ole timey racsim where you moved?
@@Dirtybandz_6.7 GA is nice and peaceful
GA is great, accept July and August, way to humid, head to the mountains, even the beaches are to humid.
I've been there one time in 1993 and let's just say that my experience wasn't that great. I'm sure it's changed since then. Hopefully for the better. Another great one Nick...thanks dude. 👍

I did the tax one
Love this!!!!
I WISH YOU WOULD DO ANOTHER VIDEO ON PHOENIX ARIZONA.. I’m SURE YOU WOULD MAKE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAPPY 😊
Something to mention about the Los Angeles area is that everything is so condensed that even nice areas aren't very nice and things change block to block. Yes, Beverly Hills is a wealthy area, but you can be walking down the street looking at all of the fancy boutique stores and high-end restaurants, then turn the corner and all of a sudden be somewhere that you really don't want to be. Almost every city has places like that, even nicer areas outside of LA city, like Altadena and Pasadena. You don't want to be on the wrong side of Lake Ave... I've lived here my whole life and it's still strange to me how quickly things shift from block to block.
Also, the beach cities are very expensive and a lot of wealthy people do live there, but a lot of the major beaches are trashed from crowds and homelessness. I've seen some pretty strange things from being out at night by the beach
So true. I grew up in the Floral Park neighborhood right by the Orange Crush interchange. I could walk literally 1 block and be in gang-driven murderville.
Thank you Nick!
I’ve lived here my entire life and you nailed it 👌🏼
Sara - what part? ❤️
@@NickJohnson Orange County. City of Orange to be specific. Great channel 👍
Hey hey hey, there is more to Long Beach than ghetto. Shoreline Village, where Queen Mary is and the Spuce Goose dome . Naples ect. 🙃
You’re absolutely right I was born in Long Beach. And there are some very nice areas over there. It’s not all ghetto. My nephew is the bass player for the band Roxanne and he and his wife and kids live in Long Beach
@@texasgina I was born and raised in Long Beach also, born in Long Beach Naval Hospital and went to Jordan H.S. ,but got the hell outta Cali in the late 90's. Miss home, but never been happier to get out lol
@@kurisuinternetpopstar separate city, but surrounded by LBC
Bixby Knolls
Long Beach is a huge city very diverse. Very good places.
Nick, are you driving around starting fights with people? I've lived in a couple of these places and never had a problem.
It just depends on where you live. Not all SoCal is a shithole.
Great show!
Born and raised in SoCal and you nailed it. Great video!
This is amazing I wish there were more honest guidesman in the world
Just moved from Austin to Topanga, CA. Not regretting it one bit.
Not even the higher cost of living?
@@painexotic3757 It's significantly more expensive (cost of a house and state tax mostly) but that's worth it to me. I really liked Austin, but the heat in summer is brutal and it doesn't have the spectacular nature CA has.
That humidity would kill me.
Topanga is beautiful and outdoor weather everyday
Daughter just moved from Austin to Santa Monica. She is super happy.
I’m from the Boston area living in southern Maine. I visited LA this past April. The traffic was NOTHING compared to Boston rush hour or 95 south in Maine in the summer on a Sunday or 95 north on a Friday. We stayed in Glendale and saw all of the touristy destinations including universal studios. We borrowed a relatives car and we were surprised how little traffic there was. When traffic moves past 30mph it’s not bad. Ours is stop and go and sometimes stopped completely.
World according to Briggs wishes he was as funny as you nick!! Friggin love your vids man.
North OC is actually very nice and suburban, cities such as Fullerton, Brea, La Habra, and Yorba Linda are great places to live. Central OC is where it kind of sucks, but even there, Orange and Tustin are pretty nice.
I'm from La Habra, people think it's ghetto but it's not, just more working class and sort of rundown. I never felt unsafe there. Fullerton is kind of ghetto south of Downtown, but lots of Fullerton has cute old craftsman homes.
@@AslanKyoya1776 Everything North of downtown is really nice and even south of downtown isn’t bad at all, except for Truslow which is really the only "ghetto" area of Fullerton.
Everything you said was true . I’m formally from menifee/Temecula now I’m in central Texas . Hemet is Compton 2.0 now because of the LA people moving there . I’m glad to see you’ve illustrated how well the cultures and demographics are nowadays , people don’t believe me when I talk about Cali .
I’ll visit California for the first time this next march. Thanks for the info!
Now you know!
This video is so well done. How do you know so much about every single city and the people that live there? I also like how the description has video links. Great video!
We both grew up here. There is so much to see and do everywhere around here that over time it's inevitable to learn everything about the place.
According to the California State Board of Equalization, Cerritos residents are the second-highest retail spenders in California. Second only second to Beverly Hills, averaging $36,544 per resident.
Dang Mappy!!
Woot woot 🙌 Used to live in the Cerritos, Norwalk, Artesia area! And I lived in San Diego as a kid. Glad it’s still doing relatively well in comparison to the rest of CA👍
that was tops and informative. I look around on zillow and trulia to learn about the various parts of the country. so funny, you sum up the respective communities so well. peace out and be well.
Despite the inaccurate descriptions of Oxnard/Ventura, another great vid. Thanks!
I still love SoCal despite the very real and difficult flaws. It helps to manage expectations; happy in a 900 sq/fr condo in a great location and not aspiring to hill side NcMansion...
I am from Ukraine and I have been to Los Angeles (Venice) and San Francisco. amazing places despite homeless people. nature is spectacular
The Oceanside bit what spot on! I was born and raised there and I still skateboard and eat burritos
The song you sung at the end Nick was awesome. Captured the true zeitgeist of contemporary Socal.
As someone who lived in both north county and the city for 6 years, I was upset that you didn't spend enough time on the San Diego area, then that song came on. Your songs fill a deep void in my soul.
Haha sorry I was running out of time!

Great waves in N county
I've lived in the Tehachapi Mountains for the past 12 years. In 2020 we started to see a massive influx of new residents from the LA area. I'll be moving out of state next year.
Great video the best things about LA and SoCal are the ocean seaside beaches, historic sites, restaurants and discount shopping 🛍 both my mother’s and father's families started moving away from SoCal in the 1960s for all the reasons highlighted in this video and higher crime, expensive cost of living, air pollution, lack of friendly community etc Love ❤️ these Unboxing videos I lived in several areas in SoCal agree that Santa Barbara was the best but it has some undesirable surrounding areas too
