Los Angeles

A city that is constantly being unfairly criticized and isn't even given a chance. One might actually enjoy what this city has to offer if they so much as have the decency to let go of those annoying and ridiculous stereotypes.

It's a city that many don't understand and that's what's to love about LA. You never know what to expect and anything is possible. It's a place that breaks all the rules to what an actual city is. It is not a collection of suburbs. It is a car dependent city but has a decent metro system and continues to grow as we speak. It is one of the most fascinating cities in the US as it's one of the most ethnically diverse cities in this country, second only to New York City. Research will tell you that. It is also the second wealthiest city in this country, behind New York City. Research will tell you that. Los Angeles County has the highest number of millionaires in this country. Research will tell you that. It has the most diverse geographic landscape of any city in the US because it has the mountains, beaches, and deserts in one area and is all accessible in one day by car. It is not beautiful in terms of architecture but in terms of natural beauty, it is indeed very beautiful. It is a city of extremes, from the multi-million dollar mansions of Bel-Air/Holmby Hills to the poor and homeless district Skid Row. Research will show you that Beverly Hills is not part of Los Angeles, the city nor is Compton. Research will tell you that it is the third safest big city in the US, behind New York City and San Jose. Shall I go on?

The point is, I bet many of you haven't been to LA since the past 5 years and you're basing your opinions on experiences that happened in 2001. No one wants to let go of the damn stereotypes and negative attitudes. Your perceptions of this fantastic city is just out-of-line and ignorant, so much so that it needs to be refuted. Despite all of this animosity, I stand firm on my opinion that LA is one of the most interesting, cultured, hip, trendy, and influential cities in the world. Like it or not. I'll continue to enjoy this great place in which I call home and I think I, a native Angeleno, would understand this city far more than one who ignorantly believes what they want to believe and or what they see through their television screen. Just shows you how powerful and far-reaching Hollywood's influence is on peoples' brains...if they even have a brains.

Los Angeles is one of the best cities in the world because it deviates from the norm and continues to fascinate and intrigue.

los angeles

A large city where you can't survive without car and without being strong and imposing. The optimists know L.A. is the place to be if you don't negative the things.

1) The people in L.A. are very warm, friendly, nice and have love for everybody.

2) In L.A. there are everything you need and want from shopping malls and beaches.

3) The sun is the symbol of happiness. The rain is known to be dark, negative and depressing. In L.A., it never rains and the sun is always there.

4) In L.A., you find the finest women in the world, you can't be on a place without having beautiful women around you.

5) L.A. is simply beautiful: beautiful palm trees, beautiful houses, beautiful people, beautiful mood, beautiful sun, beautiful sand, beautiful water, beautiful hills, beautiful freeways, beautiful cars, beautiful food, etc...

6) In L.A. everything is possible, you can do anything you want to only if you have the ambition.

7) L.A. is a melting pot of cultures, mexicans, blacks, whites, iranians, arabs, japanese, europeans, chinese, etc...

8) L.A. is always active, never sleeps, is energetic, you always have something to do all day long and all night long.

To live and die in L.A. (los angeles) is the place to be, you got to be there to know it, what everybody wanna see.

It never rains in Southern California.

L.A., californ-i-a, city of all love, hollywood, we love it.

los angeles

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.

"i wanna go to los angeles cause it looks so glamorous and exciting on tv!"
"i didn't get enough attention growing up, so i'm gonna move to los angeles and become a star!"
"los angeles is a cesspool."

Los Angeles

A city where everyone is praying for everyone else to suffer and fail. Any time something bad happens to you there, no one will help, but there will be no shortage of people to smirk at you, not realizing that while they're distracted by doing it, they're only about five seconds away from walking into an open man-hole themselves. A city filled with embittered non-white racists whose only pleasure comes from tormenting the pathetically passive (yet still more productive)white population, but who can only use this to forget their own misery for mere moments. The Randy Newman song "I Love L.A.", if you actually listen to it, has lines in it like "...look at that homeless guy, he's screaming' to himself..." That's the real L.A. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

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).

l.a. has it all.
