Santa Clarita

Santa Clarita is the fourth largest city in Los Angeles County, California, United States. The 2006 population was calculated at 175,314 but it is likely the population is even higher than that as the city continues to grow rapidly. It is located about 35 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, and occupies most of the Santa Clarita Valley. It is a notable example of a U.S. edge city or boomburb. The FBI rates it as the sixth safest city in the United States with at least 100,000 inhabitants. (Nearby Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks, in Ventura County, traditionally alternate between the first and second spots on the list.)

Santa Clarita was incorporated in 1987 as the union of several previously existing communities, including Canyon Country, Newhall, Saugus, Valencia, and portions of Castaic. Its principal boundaries are the Golden State and Antelope Valley freeways; their merger in Newhall Pass at the city's southernmost point gives Santa Clarita its distinctive triangular appearance on the map. Unlike many other hybrid cities' districts, communities in Santa Clarita retain a considerable degree of autonomy, to the extent that some of them, such as Valencia, most notablyβ€”are often mistaken for completely separate cities.

Santa Clarita's most notable attractions are the Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park on the western edge of the city, and the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), both located in Valencia.

Santa Clarita is a suburbs with family, youth sports, and great education.

Santa Clarita

A ghetto just north of the San Fernando Valley. Its the place you have to drive through to get to where you really want to go. If you're not blown off the freeways during the frequent windy weather, you will make it our alive, as long as you stay on the freeway.

Don't even think about it as a place to live,unless you like the ghetto. The weather is atrocious, besides the wind it is either blazing hot or freezing cold. The only plus is the rain, it looks a little like Venice because all the streets are covered in water, so you can't get anywhere. It actually is a nice area if you are into graffiti art, it seems that quite a few people that live here are; to each his own.

It is a nightmare to drive through, your best bet is to travel on a shopping cart, since there are so many lying around. If you haven't had your bike stolen, you could also ride a bike, on the bike paths that nobody uses except the homeless people that like to hang out in the Westfield Shopping Center.

The people are either high on drugs here or else yelling at you to get off their property. It is an extremely stressful place, nobody has fun, and there is nothing to do, unless you want to join a gang and hang out at Magic Mountain, terrorizing all the customers.

Hey Dude where do you live?

Have you ever heard of Santa Clarita? Did you say Santa Clara or something about the Klan. No I said Santa Clarita.

Once you find it, you go past that wall with all the graffiti, take a left at the house with the shopping carts and old car on the lawn.

I live in the nice house behind the barbed wire fence. Don't worry about scary dogs, they don't bite that hard.

santa clarita

suburb of los angeles. it is home to magic mountain, a huge mall, 3 colleges, about 60 public schools spread out through its 5 major incorporated divisions: saugus, valencia, stevenson ranch, newhall, and canyon country. there is some confusion whether castaic is incorporated. about 150,000 people live here. builders like Newhall Farm and Land want to build 60000 new homes because everyone wants to live here, although since these homes will be just slightly outside of the city limits, the city is trying to buy the land away from them to not overpopulate the city.

santa clarita is tight.

Santa Clarita

Santa Clarita, officially the City of Santa Clarita, is the third largest city in Los Angeles County, California, and the seventeenth largest in the state of California. The city has annexed a number of unincorporated areas, contributing to the large population increase. It is located about 35 miles (56 km) northwest of downtown Los Angeles, and occupies most of the Santa Clarita Valley. It is a notable example of a U.S. edge city or boomburb. Santa Clarita was ranked by Money magazine in 2006 as 18th of the top 100 places to live.

Santa Clarita was incorporated in December 1987 as the union of four unincorporated communities, Canyon Country, Newhall, Saugus, and Valencia, all of which are situated on the land of the former Rancho San Francisco.12 The four communities retain separate identities, and it is common for residents to refer to a specific neighborhood when asked where they are from. Santa Clarita is bounded on the west by the Golden State Freeway (I-5). The Antelope Valley Freeway (SR-14) runs northeast-southwest through an irregular east border, and the Newhall Pass is the city's southernmost point.

Santa Clarita is often associated with the Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park, though the park is located just outside the city limits, and the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), located in Valencia.

santa clarita valley

the butthole of the earth, entirely overpopulated and overdeveloped land which was once actually quite beautiful. to date, it is populated with overprivileged and undereducated youth, often accompanied by sad plastic guardians. overridden with police attempting to keep the real scv lifestyle hush hush. contrary to the popular belief of its conservative elder residents, it is very easy to get almost any drug in the santa clarita valley. most youth here become quickly caught in the downward spiral of having entirely too much spare time and cash, and find themselves addicted to meth and sucking it off the back of a toilet through a bendy straw at the hilton or castaic inn. this is regardless of how privileged and sheltered they may have seamed. most people inhabiting this land will die here, only to be buried on its outskirts by the highway leading to the outside world. this custom is believed to be somehow symbolic. also, traditionally, those who escape before their deaths do not return.
