[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about Orange county / newport beach?[/quote]

No. I’m in So Cal. Pretty easy going compared to other spots. My kid is at a competitive school, but even so it’s not as culturally cutthroat. [/quote]

[b]Newport Beach is home to the varsity blues scandal. [/b]It is or was a home also to Michael Avenatti, Stormy Daniel's one-time attorney, sentenced for extortion plot.

The city is full of retirees who may no longer be competing. The younger ones, aren't exactly the cooperative types. The city of Newport Beach has a very high percentage of apartments relative to homeowners.  These are often Newport wannabes. It's a competitive environment.  [/quote]

The varsity blues scandal was clueless SoCal types who took the "wrong" way to force their kids into college (bribing coaches, getting ringers to take the SAT, etc.) NorCal, NYC, DC parents do things the "right" way (donations, extensive prep, hired 'reputable' college counselors, etc.) Varsity blues revealed precisely how not plugged in SoCal is.[/quote]
Oh, there were quite a few Northern Californians caught up in the sting. My friend saw the FBI roll up one morning to bust in on her neighbor for the Varsity Blues op.[/quote]
