los angeles is, for the most part, flat - a developer's dream. so is california's central valley. this gallery is of the final leg of my latest cross-country amtrak adventure - through the central valley on the on the san joaquin from emeryville to los angeles and then the pacific surfliner on to san diego. i don't understand why people, who aren't farmers or ranchers, would want to live there. it is so far removed from any sense of "california livin'", yet new housing developments are sprouting up like weeds.
