Ahh, air you can actually see. I used to be a private pilot in Orange County. Take off in the coastal haze with visibility barely one mile, smaze they called it. Climb to about 3000 feet and schazaam! the sky is suddenly blue. Above you, that is. It looks like you are flying over a great bowl of water with a little milk in it. Looking straight down, you can make out housetops. Looking at any sort of slant angle and all you see is the smaze. But above 3000, it is clear. Now head for the desert. You will notice that the on-shore winds pile up the smaze or smog against the San Bernardino mountains and you have to climb another thousand feet to get back into clear air again. Now look at the pass out into the Mohave, the highway towards Vagas. The breezes are blowing this junk out through the pass and you can see it spread fan-like, dissipating over the close-in desert communities until it is eventually clear over the desert.
Yeah, the climate is mild, but the air is intolerable.

No, I dislike it. The marine layer, fog and stratus are depressing. The only thing I liked was the Santa Anna conditions.

Yes, I feel fortunate to live there. It has a pleasant mild climate.
