I was shocked to read on this website that my beloved town of Los Osos "tends to lean conservative." I have no idea why such a statement would ever be made, as we are very proudly liberal, feel extremely safe in expressing our progressive views, and do so regularly. We're very solidly, and very proudly, very blue.

Good for raising a family because you can let your kid roam free and not have to worry too much and there's lots of nature to explore. Terrible once they reach around middle school age cause nothing exciting to do. The parties are lame.

Los Osos is a small community. I moved here when I was 20-years-old, so I do not know about the school system here. This community is slow-paced, quiet, and mostly retirement age or elderly people.

Wonderful small town. I enjoy all the wonderful weather that it has. I currently work here and enjoy then locals and parents. I'm currently looking to live here myself and enjoy the days and the evenings.
