Ah, you're probably in the wrong place for that. Come to Santa Cruz, and you'll have natural food stores and gluten-free menu options on every corner.and don’t cater as well for gluten intolerance so I can’t always find something I like. There are only so many bunless burgers I can eat and I miss my veggies (not that the UK is always good on veggies eating out either). Not much in the supermarket compared to the UK which often has a whole aisle of GF stuff.
Cars, we're split maybe 50/50 between oversized pickups and hybrids/EVs (lots of Teslas and Priuses). Yes, many tattoos, including among the senior crowd. Everybody here brings their own reusable bags or just carries things out without a bag. When walking on sidewalks or trails, you need to be alert to dodge manic bicyclists and e-bikers. (These things are mostly true in California but not everywhere -- it's a big state.)
