Interesting irony.

Southern California has nice weaather.

....LA would be a great place to walk or ride a bike to work all year 'round. But it's our bad weather belt that has the walkable cities, and our sunny and temperate all the time region that barely has sidewalks.

Blame history i.e. America was settled from east to west.
