    I think you’re wrong. Reason - I’ve been to Bakersfield. And Barstow. And Inyokern. And Blythe. And Stockton.

      At least Barstow is close enough to Victorville that it makes dumping corpses easy. I was born in Redlands, I have little good to say about the rest of SoCal. Better than Idaho though.

      I can see your point, but I respectfully disagree. I find the desert to fairly beautiful, and at least Bakersfield and Stockton have more of a small-town feel. IMO, LA combines all the negatives of Stockton and Bakersfield into one plasticized, superficial mess; LA’s better at covering up their flaws, but there’s a certain authenticity in owning your blemishes.
