Actually here in North Orange County CA you would be hard pressed to notice that we are in a recession. The Brea Mall is generally very, very busy, ditto the restaurants and there are very few retail stores that are vacant. And the traffic on the 57 FWY is worse than ever - people going shopping, people going to work, trucks, trucks, trucks hauling whatever. And even housing prices have held up better than average.
I guess if you have to live in JerryBrownLand there are worse place than North Orange County.
Agree.
Seems to me, those impacted the most in CA, are state and some local governments and justifiable so, due to their own reckless out of control payrolls, spending and budgets.
Not about jobs, but all summer I’ve been house hunting in south la county, north orange county along the coast. Inventory has been extremely low. Great homes go in 1 week. And prices are high.
