Dec 7

I grew up in Vanc. It was a good farming and bedroom community where everyone minded their own business.
Then the religious zealots moved in, followed by lots of Californians moved in with their McMansions and drove the cost of living through the roof. Then they tore down whole subdivisions and built apartments with minimal off-street parking.
Traffic is worse than LA (and I lived in SoCal for 20 yrs), and I hate going back to visit friends and relatives.
