Even with all this Torrance is still a great place to live. Which neighborhood in Torrance would you like a breakdown of?

[@JayBobJayBob]

As a third generation California native, I’ve always found the earthquakes, a bit fun, including the minute long violent shaker of the Whittier earthquake, which I experienced in Whittier. The buildings are built to stave off shakers per Law. This New York native does not have a depth of California love and comes across as someone who should be running around Walmart screeching at people.

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

Yeah, the charm here is the weather--if you like hassle-free--and easy access to the beach. It's a postwar bedroom community built for commuters in the aerospace industry. A safe, boring place to raise kids. If you want charm, if you want culture, if you want seasons, if you want to walk to stores, you're just in the wrong place. Earthquakes, May Gray, and June Gloom are way overblown in this video.

[@williamjacobs9065]

No mention of Toyota moving their US headquarters out of Torrance, CA to Texas and taking a lot of supporting business with them. California is not business friendly. Torrance is also west of a large oil refinery and areas full of people living in dilapidated motor homes. Drive east of Torrance not just west and south experience this.

[@maedaaruto1211]

Honda headquarters are still in torrance.

[@LisaGallegos]

Grew up in Torrance! South high school graduate ❤ great place to live!

[@Psycho_Like_Micho]

Grew up 10 miles away in Compton also a great place to live

[@Eugene-pt5lu]

Grew up 13 miles away in Watts and worked in Redondo Beach Galleria right out of high school, 1990. These are great places to live, and to be weary of Redondo PD and Torrance PD. In contrast to living in crime ridden Compton or Watts . I'm so dignified and proper that people were shocked that I grew up in Watts. Well I use to get the switch from my Maternal Pentecostal great grandparents born in 1905 and 1907 who lived in Pasadena where my mother was among the first blacks to integrate Pasadena High school.

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

I did too. I never missed watching The Wonder Years because I could relate to so much of it.

[@dalaniekolakowski181]

I live in West Torrance & agree with everything u said💕 I would add that there are more & more homeless in the South Bay every year. You were SPOT ON with everything u said😘

[@ShiraAdatto]

Thanks for the feedback. 🙏🏻

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

I think, though, that that's a phenomenon pretty much everywhere in the US, and far worse in most cities. Still pretty scarce in Torrance.

[@matteovisconi4322]

really nice video, last year i was an exchange student and I happened to be collocated in Torrance. I lived there for six months and I personally think that most of the downsides you've pointed out are actually true, still being an amazing place to stay tho. For example, coming from Milan, one of the most polluted areas in Europe, Torrance's air quality seemed like a breeze for me, in the meantime, the fact that I couldn't go anywhere without a car really influenced my experience, comparing to Europe where most of the big cities are based on driving limitations to allow people to walk more. Also, the fact that everything seemed so far apart from my place disturbed me a little. Talking about school, teachers where very nice, even if I expected harder tests or subjects. Despite that, I had the time of my life there and I'd really want to come back, considering the fact that no place is hundred percent perfect, and I miss Torrance's weather so much!!! have a good day

[@ShiraAdatto]

Awesome I agree that the pluses outweigh the minuses.

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

Having grown up there in the 60s and 70s, I'd go along with most of this. It was a lot like the Wonder Years, but as you sequed into your teens, Borrance was a term you could relate to. Two things I'd strongly disagree with, however. Compared with the natural disaster's the rest of the country and the world faces, earthquakes are a very occasional nuisance.(they're actually kind of exciting). To my knowledge, no one has lost their life to an earthquake in Torrance for at least the 60 years of my lifetime. As for the weather, well, if you want seasons, yeah, it's not the place for you, but if nearly year round T shirt in the daytime seems a burden, then I really don't know what to tell you. If you like doing outdoor stuff, then there's hardly a day where the weather will interfere or even has to be considered. As for the chilliness of May Gray and June Gloom, she's overblown it by a mile. It's just frustrating because you're anxious for real summer to begin. I swim bareback in the ocean year round here: the water dips into the high 50s in winter and spring, but it really isn't that bad--very doable. It's a suburb primarily built postwar centered around cars and big housing tracts for defense workers. It's kinda bland, but it has perfect weather--in my view--and it's safe. If her caveats really bother you, then coastal Southern California really isn't for you because it's pretty much the same story from LA to the border.

Walkable is more for city living not suburbs

[@cjschicagobwi]

Thank you kindly. You re an eloquent and down to earth effective speaker. I enjoyed your insights and knowledge on Torrance. I am now considering Encinitas instead.

[@Imjustbored07]

I live up in north Torrance and I can say if your looking to be more near the freeway or have more races in the area north is pretty much the way to go. If you live in south Torrance you'll just see straight up white people. If you go West Torrance still straight up Whites but you'll also see a lot of Asians. Old Torrance is still a lot of whites but you do see more Hispanics and blacks the closer you are to Western Blvd. North is where you see African American's, Hispanic's, Whites, Asians, and Muslim's and Indians and all that. You basically got a lot of races and ethnicities over here. In North Torrance we do have a lot of apartments mainly around 182nd, Crenshaw, and Yukon. We are next to the Torrance Refinery so I can say the air is more polluted over here. But I can say one thing and that is that in Torrance there isn't much to really do like its pretty boring and stuff not much happens. You don't really got anything much to do at night if your like younger in your 20's. The city itself is more or less just a place where people like to settle down and stuff but I can say this, Redondo is better looking then Torrance but is way more expensive but if your looking for not so higher prices try Hawthorne, Inglewood and Gardena one of the 3 neighboring and close cities.

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

Yeah, it's the definition of a bedroom community. Borrance

[@haotengma-lt8uh]

Thanks for so many details about Torrance! Is that possible to have a compare list between Redondo Beach and Torrance on the six items you just talked in the video to see any difference between these cities? I have heard that there were a lot of wells in Torrance area which may have environmental or earthquake concerns for living there. Also for Redondo beach, someone says the air is smelly in the area near the industry facilities. Are these true?

[@ShiraAdatto]

Those questions are outside my scope of expertise (environmental and earthquake). As for comparison, in my OPINION, Redondo Beach has more charm/character and is definitely more walkable, better air quality, similar weather but Redondo can be a tad cooler because of the ocean breeze. I have not personally experienced any smell by the industrial areas.

[@Navigatorbythestars]

Thank you so much for keeping it real! That is so important always. Something else to mention is it terrible Fire department ( it’s bad enough to watch them TRY to put out a fire , but there medical decisions are constantly being brought into question). I feel except for that factor, it is a great place to live!!! I lived there for years ( from the 1969 to many later ) I loved living there! Torrance does cost a bit more to buy a home , however… you pay for what you get. Torrance has a great feel to it, we’ll worth anyone looking into living there!

[@ShiraAdatto]

@@Navigatorbythestars I definitely agree the good outweighs the bad.

[@ritchievernon8099]

I don't even know how far the ocean is from Torrance? And Google doesn't have a clue

[@ShiraAdatto]

@@ritchievernon8099 It depends from which part of Torrance

[@DeezNutsTheChicken]

hello, i was wondering if you knew of any abandoned places in torrance maybe near Del Amo Mall. I live here and my friends and i are so bored with just going for bike rides and staying at home. we want to explore abandoned building and unfinished construction that were never fully built. Thank You!😁

[@ritchievernon8099]

I was born in Torrance California didn't know much about it as a kid I was only there about five years and never once got to go to go to Disneyland

[@erikjames8463]

Well Torrance is just down the street from Disneyland. Sepulveda Blvd turns into Willow in Long Beach, that turns into Katella in Orange County. It's just 35 miles down the street....

👏👏👏👏

[@ShiraAdatto]

Glad you found it helpful

[@toiseywoisey]

You didn’t mention the influx of homeless in nearly all the parks, bus bench’s, parking lots and on the streets.

[@dadayahh1651]

Thanks to your governor

[@maedaaruto1211]

not as bad as downtown LA

[@tatsumaki9397]

Don’t forget the racism towards blacks and Hispanics

[@rebeccarobinson2547]

How bad is it?

[@tatsumaki9397]

@@rebeccarobinson2547 Karen’s bad

[@davidrubinstein5359]

⁠@@rebeccarobinson2547well I’ll put it this way… the Walmarts and Footlocker’s aren’t getting looted so yeah… pretty harsh that you can’t recklessly commit crime.

[@toiseywoisey]

Being fair skinned I love all the gloom and discourages all the non-Natives from crowding the beaches I’ve been here 65 years and the city will never be as nice as when I grew up in the Sixties and Seventies.

[@davidrubinstein5359]

Demographics reveal the standard of living.

[@lordsatan8609]

Torrance is bad. A lot of pretentious people and homeless. Awful special education for kids (the worst was Torrance high). Everywhere you see is a godam Mcdonalds, 7-11, strip malls. Big malls, gas stations oil refineries all mixed in with suburban houses and apartments. Expensive af too. California also taxes you for driving on the roads and if you want to move out the state you get taxed. It’s pretty much a dystopia trying to look like a utopia but that’s pretty much everywhere in cali
