Torrance is my hometown (I’m in San Diego for school right now though). I don’t understand why everything thinks it’s not worth it. I think it depends more on the area of Torrance you go to. If you’re inland, yeah that’s the crappy part. But the areas bordering Redondo and PV are nice. I live about a 10 minute drive from the beach in a nice house in a nice neighborhood and I love it. Sure, a lot of things are being remodeled to be modernized, but I think that’s inevitable in any growing city. It’s actually kinda fun coming back every few months and seeing what has changed.

Sometimes Torrance can get boring because…if you’ve lived there your whole life, there isn’t much to do anymore. Once you’re of driving age though, you have so much at your fingers. LA is close by and there’s tons of stuff to do there. I think it’s an ideal place to live: close to the beach, far enough from a freeway that there’s not a lot of traffic but close enough that you can get away anytime, not a lot of crime, good places to hang out/eat/shop/play, safe, clean, etcccc. I wouldn’t mind living somewhere like that when I’m older.
