one of the many hellholes of the us. way overrated and overpriced.the only good things people define la by are the beaches, weather, size. other than that, it's a total nightmare. most people are either phony as hell or rude as hell, and don't give a fuck about anyone else. people who you thought were friends will backstab you when you least expect it. everyone has some agenda (be an actor, director, star, model, millionaire, etc.) people aren't upfront about anything. everything is covered in smog and filth, except for the extremely wealthy areas like beverly hills, santa monica, malibu. nobody walks anywhere except in the designated shopping areas. people look at you like you are a freak or something if you are walking. people judge you based on your car and bank account mostly. there are illegal mexicans everywhere. they are rude, loud, obnoxious and disgusting. the rent is so high now that it costs about $1000 a month to live in a dumpy little single apartment in a sleazy, rundown neighborhood. people will smile in your face, then stab you in the back, over and over again. it takes hours to get anywhere on the public transportation, and traffic is always terrible. oh, but the weather is warm and there's lots of entertainment.

THE city which could be considered a microcosom of the entire planet: architecturally, ethnically, politically, and geographically (taking into account the areas within a 2 hour radius).

Everyone from Miami to Seattle, San Diego to New York (and everyone in between) seems to hate L.A. It's the national "sport" to be an "L.A. hater". But people in Los Angeles don't give two squats about the rest of the country, that is what is really funny about it all.

A nice place to visit but dam if you want to live there. The city of the angels. The silicon and plastic surgery capital of the world, thanks to the Hollywood culture and Beverly Hills. People are often confused at the term “Los Angeles.” The truth is that there are 3 Los Angeleses: the city, the county (the most populated in the U.S.) and the greater metro area (which includes Orange county). The 2nd largest city and metro area in the United States and home to over 14 million people--10 million in L.A. County alone. It is a hub of commerce, industry, transportation and motion picture production. L.A. is notorious for street gangs (more than any other U.S. city), car chases, traffic jams (the worst in the U.S.), police corruption, earthquakes, wild fires, mudslides, air pollution (the worst of any metro area in the U.S.) and superficial pricks/fake people (your car labels you) and an outrageous cost of living. The metro area is nicknamed “a hundred suburbs in search of a city” meaning that there is no real city center like in most cities. Its native Angelenos probably do not even know where the “real” downtown Los Angeles actually is. The city of Los Angeles covers well over 400 square-miles and is actually composed of a number of included communities as it expanded such as North Hollywood, Encino, Van Nuys, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Reseda, Van Nuys, Northridge, Tarzana (all in the sprawling San Fernando Valley), Hollywood, Bel Air, Westwood, Watts, Venice Beach, Palisades (all in the L.A. basin) and a number of others.

The cultural center of the US through film, TV, and music.

a place where, even though it may be filled with whores, gangs, smog, and the most superficial fucks in all the world, i and about a trillion other pathetic bastards want to live. unlike me, most want to be famous. a place where a lot of the dreamers in the world come, and a place where, unfortunately, many dreams whither and die anyway. maybe it's ugly, hot, and charmless, but despite this i have hope that it has it's finer points... the parts of it past the gunspray, money, and snobbery. right? right? ugh.
