I wish the older burbs of LA, however, had developed more along the lines of areas like the newer OC.

I was in a 1950's part of the SF valley a few wks ago, and what the heck were cities & developers thinking back then? It's like the areas around disneyland yrs ago, but without the presence of at least a major tourist landmark.
