Why is it an atrocious area to raise a family ? I have kids and I think it is an amazing area to raise children. Great diversity, getting to know people from all over the world, year round hiking and outdoors fun, endless nature, trails, parks, lakes, free concerts, movie nights, healthy food, fresh produce, great schools (some are very competitive though). Great museums, aquariums, oceans, bays etc. easy access to SoCal with all their theme parks.
