Maybe I’m different. But I think OC has outgrown the definition of a suburb. OC is a self-sustaining economy, has its own technology areas, arts areas, many employers to choose from, its own higher education institutions, sports teams – Anaheim Angels have won a World Series, Mighty Ducks won the Stanley Cup, the LA (ugh) Rams even won their division a couple times while in the OC. With 2.8 million people I find it difficult to call OC a suburb. Heck they even have their own performing arts center and large outdoor amphitheater.
When the OC was an agricultural town and then began developing housing for people to drive to LA – yeah then the OC was a suburb. I just dont think that definition fits anymore.
“…we are a different people with different ideas, wants, desires and needs. It’s just that simple.”
