“Valencia has almost as much traffic commuting in for work as out these days. No longer the sleepy little town it used to be when I grew up.”
Kinda’ curious where you are getting this…I lived in SCV for 20 years and those that lived AND worked in the valley were definitely the exception rather than the rule. I can see where it might seem like this is true when you consider the traffic congestion throughout the entire valley…but that can be attributed to the fact that Newhall Land and Farm decided back in ’95 to install a traffic signal on EVERY corner of EVERY street (traffic deaths are bad for their image). It used to take 15 minutes to travel from Sand Canyon to Magic Mountain Pkwy…now it takes almost 30.
I’ve since moved to North County SD and will probably never go back…traffic and weather being my two main reasons. Although I do miss all the great restaurants (I have yet to find any decent Mexican or BBQ food in NC).
