I take it you've never been to Los Angeles. LA should take the blame for introducing the "yoga wine women" to your old area.

Also, by "LA" I mean Century City, Westwood, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Venice, Malibu, & the SFV, aka "the porn capitol of the world", where I grew up. Long time residents call it "Hell-A" for a reason.

I mean as insufferable as the tech valley is, you can't match the shittiness and pure demonic ego of a city that has it's own song, written in the 80s, no less: https://inv.tux.pizza/watch?v=KcADqxnQA_4

EDIT: I wanted to add that LA is the image most people have in mind when they talk about CA. Sorry.
