In Praise of Living at The Beach

Last updated on 2023-04-11

There is a heat wave in California. I am so glad to live at the beach.

In Winter, it is often 10 degrees cooler at the beach than in most of Los Angeles. In Summer, the difference is often 20 degrees or more. We owe the Pacific Ocean a big thank you. . .

If California can sort out its (1) water issues and (2) over-reliance on automobiles, coastal Southern California is a relatively sustainable place to weather climate change. The big Pacific Ocean will continue to act as a temperature stabilizer and the ample sunshine provides for great solar power generation.

I never thought I would say it, but I like living here.
