How is all this plant life supported with LA's Mediterranean climate? I guess they have the money to irrigate it all considering it's a wealthy area.

Remember, LA has many micro climates. South Pas is basically at the foothills of the Angeles national forest. It gets significantly more rain than downtown or the beach communities, even though it's just 7 miles from downtown. Downtown LA averages about 15 inches of rain per year while south Pasadena gets closer to 20
I love South Pasadena. It's gorgeous and quaint. Gus's bbq is one of my favorite restaurants, bar none. Great job with the tour.
