Start your own city and collect taxes. It allows for your own corruption, grifting, fraud, etc.

I was just surprised you said you live in actual LA because most of your ride pictures appear to be out in the middle of nowhere.

Some of my club rides and solo rides are in the Santa Monica mountains which is an unincorporated area. Or from home I can be on the roads in the San Gabriel mountains pretty quickly.
Riding in the city of L.A. sucks for the most part. The valley where I live used to be better but crowding and psycho drivers have made it less appealing, or maybe I'm just tired of those streets. I hate going over the hills into L.A. for any reason, by car or bike.

Most of my ride pics are from out of the city. The hills/city limit is actually about 200 feet from my door. My usual Tuesday ride meets in the City of Santa Clarita and we generally ride east out of that city's limits.

Buckeye is possibly the most ridiculous city around here.

I don't know if we in NorCal have Ohio buckeye, but it's currently "avoid the buckeyes in the bike lane" season. Which comes just after "run over olives in the bike lane" season.

I don' t know. Just googled buckeye tree range. On the same search I also see this nifty map. Could be a stocking stuffer for an arbor mapfan.

In Portland at this time of year it's watch for the buckeyes and all kinds of wet leaves that are slicker than ice
