Anagami, Much of what you say may be true, but in my opinion its worse on the mainland, Even more violence there, more homeless, more drugs, more traffic, more desperate people, more strip malls, the people there are pissed off will flip you off or honk, higher real estate prices and rent there. I feel that we live on the edge of america here which in my opinion is better than living closer to the center. Want to go to the beach, some beaches there you got to pay, want to go to a community swimming pool if there is even one open, well pay again, need to go to the dump get your wallet out again. This may not be paradise, but much of the mainland is a wasteland of human desperation and some of the people here may be running from that.
