20. I live right near T.O. It's boring as hell, and people like it that way. They
keep re-electing Gallegly, who is a total waste of DNA, because they reflexively vote R. Most residents are not wealthy, but they consistently and unknowingly vote against their own self-interest because they're not very bright. It's a town of strip malls, chain restaurants, one college (Cal Lutheran), and a bunch of anemic, sluggish businesses with piss poor customer service. The pro-growth faction of the city council has seen to it that practically every inch of the place is occupied by an office building or McMansion. It's full of people who've fled the multi-culturalism of the San Fernando Valley. The high school prom is sometimes held at the nearby Reagan Library and nobody thinks that's weird. I know Gertrude Stein was referring to Oakland, but the same could be said of T.O. - "There is no there there."
