My mom and I were born and raised here in Orange County mere minutes from Disneyland. My dad and paternal and maternal grandparents were born elsewhere. My mom and I are true SoCal girls through and through, but she prefers the beach. I don’t think I could ever move away. This place is the best.
That's how I feel about Northern California! Born and raised in the Bay Area, and I wouldn't trade it for the world! Sure, there are lots of serious problems in California, but Northern California will ALWAYS be home ❤.
I'm like you, born and raised here, made my career here (engineering) Retired and NO plans to move to Phoenix or Texas or any other of those places where people rant and rave how much house their money can buy. What people seldom talk about is there is REASON it's expensive here! Perfect weather for one and O.C, (fingers crossed) is fighting the L.A "creep" of crime and homelessness. We have a great D. A and strong support for our law enforcement. John Wayne is the BEST airport in the country. OCSD is the BEST sheriff dept in the state!
The beauty , elegance and history shared is amazing and definitely would have been lost to us now without restoration and historicl documentation as you have shared with us through this presentation . Thank you so very much for your effort and sharing with us who appreciate it.
I am a producer and the script supervisor on a documentary that recently aired on a well-known US television channel, among other documentaries I have worked on. If I could offer some constructive criticism, it is that the script is a bit too formal and leans toward the sensational instead of an unbiased approach. The emphasis of the script on-screen (so far, mostly noticed during the Getty portion) does not add anything. If you were presenting information that was important for the viewer to know that isn't otherwise referenced in the script, it would make sense. I understand the difficulties of writing a compelling and dynamic script when you are presenting facts that are "dry" on their own, but sometimes you have to pull back on the adjectives and adverbs and tell the facts more plainly. It also helps to show rather than tell. I also understand the expense involved with obtaining the rights to historical footage and images, and sometimes you have no choice but to use stock footage or something that doesn't precisely illustrate the narrator's voiceover. There is also nothing wrong with paring down a documentary to its key elements and leaving out filler. I hope someone may find this helpful.
I’m a 5th generation Southern Californian, and my granddaughter is a 7th generation Southern Californian. 😊 Both sides of my family have lived in LA, OC, and San Diego.
My family owned a lot of property in Huntington Beach, Seal Beach and Signal hill. My great grandfather, grandfather had an oil company and they sold their property by the sq ft because of oil extraction. The last of our properties that were around in the early 2000’s the city of long beach tore my papa’s house a cute double craftsman was demolished and now there’s a Best Buy on top of the property. Sad.
I keep forgetting this is old Anglo American money and not the Spanish families that existed prior in the state and still have sway in not only the state but region.
It is sad that the Fairbanks home was raised to the ground and other old mansions of importance, In my country the UK, are protected ,old buildings/historical or buildings of cultural importance, are on list called the Heritage Register, this protects them they are graded, you have to get permission to make any changes large or small. Grade I: buildings of exceptional interest. Grade II*: particularly important buildings of more than special interest. Grade II: buildings that are of special interest. The buildings show in this video would have been protected.
I grew up in South OC lived in San Diego, and the Bay Area and places in between as an adult and retired to Cambria, just South of Hearst Castle. There is a great deal more to California than what is mentioned.
great channel you should have more viewers...ive been sharing on social media to try n help....my only critique is its hard to pay attention for 2 hours
I'm pretty sure that Walt Disney is rolling in his grave. His family has killed his baby. They are in a downward spiral that I'm not too sure they can recover from. It's sad.
Old Money is a term for people who inherit their fortune. New Money is for people that make their own fortune. Disney made the fortune in LA on movies and Disneyland. Getty made his in oil, and just like LA. Hearst inherited his dads mining fortune but invested it into papers making it grow far faster than his dads mines did. Reagan made his money in Hollywood.
Walt moved to Florida because his employees wanted to join a Union at D-land. He convinced Florida to give him a big swamp for Disney World. Who made this Docu ? Disney ?
The opening narration is verbose and the words used seemed unnecessarily extravagant. I almost stopped watching, thinking that over an hour of this type of talk would drive me insane. I’m glad I didn’t. The narrator quickly changed pace and the subject matter is fascinating. I hope you don’t take offence by my criticism. This is a well put together history of a fascinating part of the SOCAL story. Thank you!!

Disney as a child I loved Disney, As an adult today Disney is worse than trash ! They are worse than Porn, in today's world, I'd rather watch Porn than Disney ! ! At least porn is honest !
Me thinks you got your history of California from a non-native perspective. you may want to dig a little deeper into the Ranchos of California, the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and Pio Pico. The real history will blow your socks off and maybe give you enough insight to hang your hat on and discover the Truth which will set you free and give you riches beyond the Disney and Getty mirage.
If you're referring to Hispanic background just know they basically sat on the state and did little to nothing with it for decades. It wasn't until the families mentioned got involved did the state start to blossom.
Unfortunately you are speaking about the new generation and the new money . My family have been in California Since 17 79 , and had a great deal of property , and my family were sent back to France or Spain to be educated and unfortunately ,The new Americans came after 1849, the gold rush we lost most of are lands . We consider ourselves upper class some us have money some us don’t but we are dead smart , and never talk about it ,
Older truckers, remember delivering the steel for “something called a theme park” ,and they just were super awed by it

I would trade places with you in a heart beat ❤
When you born in Cali you never wanna leave. Nothing comes close

Great video. Very interesting and informative. The length is a non-issue.
Glad you liked it!

Are you rich 🤑?
And what do you think of the living Hell the Democrats have turned the former Earthly paradise into?

Please do one for Northern California !
Elsa and Anna's country was named after Walts grandfather! How wonderful ❤❤
Great Documentary!
Glad you enjoyed it!
President Ragean's house on Beverly Glen near Sunset BLVD in Holmby Park is still standing.

Doheny’s mansion, Greystone is open to the public. Haunted too 👻
Similar sentiments re the opening narrative (!!) but also glad I stayed the course!
The narrator is AI generated and this channel is about Old Money and most people think of old money as snobby Brits hence the accent
If only there was an elected governor who loved this once beautiful and envious state enough to FIX IT
great channel you should have more viewers...ive been sharing on social media to try n help....my only critique is its hard to pay attention for 2 hours
Cheers, Mike, thanks for the support!

So the Disney Ladies take over, and crash the company within 5 years

Behind people with big money, are the people who were used ,

That’s how old money talks -hence the channels name “Old Money”
🙄
You do realize the voice is AI generated lmao
Your comment is nonsense I am not impressed

Its the best america has to offer and it's not worth a shit
The old money rich affluent family 🎉 🇬🇧 like the Disney family and other families well off wealthy 🤑 just like the the Shannon family
True upper classes never speak about these things , it is vulgar
So true! So pedestrian and proletarian!
Disney's grandson i know 😊
Now they are amoral
Tragic loss , he was a great actor. Society is sick , are the stone throwers perfect , I highly doubt it !
Fam
Disney as a child I loved Disney, As an adult today Disney is worse than trash ! They are worse than Porn, in today's world, I'd rather watch Porn than Disney ! ! At least porn is honest !
The only history of significance is pre-invasion indigenous history. The rest is just obscene commercialization of life itself.
That's sort of the case just about anywhere capitalism has infected the culture.
Yet ANOTHER reason to bring back the 90% tax of these people
If you tax the wealthy 90%, won't they take their money and leave? Besides, taxation is theft.
