  1. Cute, but living here is not so cute. The people are emotionally stunted, for the most part, with emotionally stunted, drug-addicted children; old people are exploited and abused in every way conceivable; and, it suffers from the worst form of white trash perversion imaginable. If you exterminated all of the white trash cockroaches, disinfected the town for a couple of decades and razed all of the meth labs, it might be a decent place, considering the mountain terrain and the pretty views of Big Bear. Sigh...really. What unparalleled filth, what sublime trashiness. Mental cripples, pretty much all Yucaipans
