So, to paraphrase Jon Lovitz, "that would be less."

a Jon Lovitz Reference, gotta love it

I bet Mr. Kessler did what many Americans do and lumped SoCal as "L.A."

Cali has 37 million people, about 12% of Americans live there. If you look at the SoCal counties:

1 Los Angeles 10,245,572
2 Orange 3,072,336
3 San Diego 3,066,820
4 San Bernardino 1,991,829
5 Riverside 1,953,330

That gets ya right about 20 million people in about a 90 mile radius.

Not trying to make apologies for Mr. Kessler, it's just that this is a common way of looking at "L.A."

Edit: Which, of coure, is still less than Scandinavia!

For me, LA is anything below Bakersfield.

CA has four metro areas: LA, Santa Cruz, SF, Eureka. Ok, maybe a fifth, if Yosemite, Sacramento and Tahoe are lumped together. Hmm, I think maybe Sacramento needs to be moved to SF metro since people are doing that commute anyway. That would put all those "hetero-mountain-vegetarian-skier-women" (you know what I mean!) in one group.
