This was a great video! I have lived in both Westwood, LA as well as Laguna and Costa Mesa OC and although there is more detail that can be said about LA and OC, you described the differences in a nutshell very nicely and pleasantly. Also, to address the 1st persons comment about being black in OC....OC has some very diverse towns where people of many ethnicities and nationalities live. I am from the Bahamas and my boyfriend at the time (an African American OC native) lived and did a lot of business in LA, Newport, Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano areas. Yes, it was an interesting experience being the only few black people in many instances and sometimes we did face prejudicy but the good far outweighed the bad. The OC is one of the best places in my opinion.
If you're black in Orange county, you're among the melting pot of the suburban life. We don't care about your skin color, just care about the color Green. If you got green, you'll fit in.
Don’t go to Huntington, Laguna, Newport, or crystal cove past night time Specifically Laguna I’ve been chased there and had a lot of ppl look at me funny are call me slurs in the beach areas for being Mexican

Do you have any recommendations for where to live at in OC? I have lived in DTL, Long Beach and San Diego.
if you're black in Orange county how does that go most likely?

How's the homeless community treating you? Please be honest.
Depends on the area of OC. Southern OC, not bad. North of Santa Ana, Anaheim, Garbage Grove or Fountain Valley, yeah pretty bad.
Santa Ana has it bad due to Irvine officials picking up and dropping off homeless here
