This is PRECISELY the reason I bother with this forum. I want to know the REAL life experiences of actual residents, not the "come on tourist" blurbs of the glossy travel pamphlets.
It seems that you are living the EXACT same situation that I have endured for over 30 years. Thanks for the warning! It seems the area is a mirror image of LA-not enough water for everyone, traffic jams, parking troubles, increasing prices as more people flood in, burglaries and thefts, "tea colored slop washing up on the beaches", corrupt and apathetic cops, corrupt government, violence against foreigners etc.
Exactly, you just described this place perfectly!
Yeah, but it's a lot cheaper than LA! Same sh!t, lower price.
