"Fortuna and Ferndale are very stuck to their conservative beliefs, they're still trying to live in the '50s"
"[People in Humboldt are] retired or scrappy, you either got retired people who like the weather and the culture, or you have the pot growers or the students or the small business owners making do with what they have"
