We watched that freeway being built while in junior high school. I think fewer than 5,000 people lived in the Santa Ana Canyon at the time. The rustic Santa Ana Canyon Road was the main route to Corona (as if anyone really wanted to go to Corona).

When the Anaheim Hills development began, the Superintendent of Orange Unified said he was not concerned about schools for the area because "they are building $50,000 homes! People who can afford that will not have children." When I asked why they were building so many 4 and 5 bedroom houses, he looked at me like I was a pretty dumb kid.

Now there are more than 250,000 living in that corridor alone, aren't there? Thousands more driving 2-3 hours to work from the Inland Empire, and then repeating the trip every night. Life is too short to spend 20-25% of it sitting in traffic on the freeway.
