That keeps most of 'em out of here. But not nearly enough.

Jeff - I mean absolutely no offense, but I read most of your posts, and most of the time I come away thinking that you need to get out of Long Beach. Don't get me wrong - I know the area well, my best friend lived there for 5 years in college, we knew all the cool places, I had clients in Belmont, I worked in OC for 20 years and would drive to LB just for Woody's BBQ - but honestly, there are a lot of other great places to live and work in So Cal.
I really don't mean to bash the place, but the parking, the traffic, the density, the harbor - get out of there.
Of course, I know nothing of your personal life an why you're there.
