That’s right Abbas, no smog whatsoever and not much noise, but it gets pretty busy on the roads at rush hour. I mostly grew up in California (Culver City, Sacramento and my first house in Simi) and I am real glad to get away from all that smog and traffic. When I was a kid living in Culver City there was very little traffic except during rush hour and we could bike all over the place and down to the beach on Washington boulevard or take the tram on Venice blvd. down to Ocean park to fish, spend some time on the boardwalk or go swimming at the beach. Great memories all ruined by concrete and asphalt and too many cars and people. It all started going wrong when they ripped out the tram rails (the old redline system) and started using buses instead.
