Uh, cars. You don't need a license to buy or drive a car.

 

True, but you do have to have $$, which many of them don't have. You should see the small villages that have erupted outside Home Depots out here. And they just expanded the Orange line, so I guess someoe's riding it.

Thats typically where you can get day laborers (at least in OC, you have a lot of places as designated day laborer pick up points; often times it happens to be near a Home Depot).

You know you're in Cali when you get to the toll and the cost for 2 axels is 12 dollars.

I should point out that toll roads are almost completely non-existent here. Albeit, if you are in San Fran there is a toll road and there is a toll road in South Orange County that runs through to the inland empire (Riverside) but you can take free optoins if you like (Traffic can just blow on them if you are going to riverside from South OC or vice versa).

They should have to pay YOU to go into the IE.
