Los Angeles County has captured more than 33 billion gallons of storm water from recent SoCal storms, enough to provide more than 800,000 people enough water for a whole year. A large pine tree that appeared to be partially uprooted was leaning heavily on power lines in the Sierra Madre area Monday and threatening some homes. With its year-round summer like weather, various beaches and iconic landmarks, California can be the ideal place to live — if you can afford it. An October report from Forbes ranked the “best” California cities people should live in during the new year based on key factors, such as a city’s median home price, personal income per capita, and the rates of unemployment and crime. California cities that made the list:
1 Sacramento
2 San Diego
3 San Francisco
4 Los Angeles
5 San Jose
6 Vallejo
7 Oxnard
8 Modesto
9 Fresno
10 Bakersfield
Sacramento was considered the “best” California city to live in, because it’s a “family-friendly” area with reasonable cost of living and residents have access to quality education, the report said.
