Southern California

This very diverse mega-region emcompasses over 23 million people living in an area of 56 thousand square miles, ranging from urban to suburban to rural, covering coastline, hills, scrubland, forests, mountains, and deserts - covering San Luis Obispo, Kern, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Benardino, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, and Imperial counties, though the bulk of population is centered around Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties.

This is a place for discussion of issues and situations unique to residents of Southern California, as they apply to building awareness and strengthening resiliency in ourselves and in others. (As well as whatever else we feel like talking about.) If this group gets big enough, then it might make sense to create sub-groups specific to individual counties.
