Lived in west San Fernando valley at the time, so only heard a lot about the illegals. Did see a lot more activity near work where some "projects were. Graffiti, etc.

Other than that, the sudden appearance of NY license plates, and a new crop of "NY Delicatessen" all alnog Ventura Blvd.

Soon left for Ventura county and saw little of it other than occasional forays into Westlake Village where the NY influence was very apparent.

When my family moved from Long Island, New York to Santa Barbara in 1974, California gained a bunch of Republican voters.

I lived in L.A. and Santa Barbara for 17 years, and I saw no shortage of native born Californians who were liberal and voted for democrats.

Every coin has two sides.

Yes, Nancy Pelousy is from Baltimore....Barbara Boxer from New York....crazy Adam Schiff from Framingham, Mass.....
but then you had Ronald Reagan from Dixon, Illinois.
