Is there a more Cali headline that could ever be conjured? Doesn't this make you want to move to Cali? Southern Cali is about five years away from Mad Maxland. Not the first Mad Max, but Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.Amazingly, if he sticks around, Mel can reprise his role.

Don’t worry…most fly-over state inhabitants think LA represents all of Southern California. It’s a normal misconception.

You even don’t have a football team, a truly American sport, to represent your city. Oh, btw, could you tell me which conference San Diego state play for? Once a while they’re good I remember. LOL. Your contribution to Southern California, good or bad, is marginal except geography, I.e. a good location.

Ignorant statement. We’re proud of our military community. In fact, we cherish our Navy and Marine corps brothers and sisters, but San Diego is so much more than “just” a military town.

Also, I didn’t know it was a requirement for one of the greatest cities in the USA to have a football team. I suppose in your small mind that matters, but for those of us who’ve lived here for many years love our city for what it is….shear beauty in every way. You hate us ‘cause you ain’t us.

not necessarily a bad term about the city. Don’t get too sensitive too defensive.

2. I would add touristy to San Diego. Your city is a Military+ touristy town. You don’t have anything else to offer to represent Southern California which is one of largest regions in terms of culture, economy and population in the country.

This reminds me of another military + touristy town I visited but know much less than San Diego: San Antonio TX. Although both cities are military + touristy town, I just feel San Antonio has deep-rooted community. Their neighborhoods are more tight-knit for families. In San Diego I just didn’t find that kind of authentic local feel. I remember one Christmas season we drove around San Diego, we didn’t see much spectacular Christmas lights in residential areas. I would say the San Diego has the worst Christmas lights among major cities we went.

Of course a good football team, either professional or college, is an unwritten requirement for a big city. Otherwise what else do you guys do on Saturday or Sunday during fall? Do all others like you just talk nonsense online during that period?

It's not the totality of Southern California.

The dysfunction and lunacy of LA obscure it. The dysfunction and lunacy stretch all the way up to Sacramento. The agricultural areas of Cali have normal people, but are exponentially outnumbered by the loons, freaks, and America-haters elsewhere in the state.

I was thrown off by that statement.
