I was just remembering the other day when I first came to southern California in 1970. The town of Santa Ana was surrounded by farms and corn fields as far as the eye could see. After that, there were miles of orange groves that smelled wonderful and there were miles of small two-lane roads winding between them. Along the Pacific Coast highway, there was only the blue Pacific on one side and dry deserted hills on the other side in the scenic drive of about 15 miles between Corona del Mar and Laguna Beach. Now, you can barely see any square footage anywhere that isn't built up with housing developments, strip malls, or freeways. And that once beautiful drive from Corona to Laguna now has mass planned communities along its length, like Newport Coast, with its mausoleum-like entry arches and green grass in a once beautiful and natural desert environment.
