A massive tangle of highways and roads, also rumoured to contain people and houses.

I spent all weekend in a traffic jam in Los Angeles.

2. (Los Angeles) (1812↑, 690↓)
Second-largest city in the United States, after New York City. Located in Southern California and home to about 9 million people in about 4 counties. One of the most (if not the most) diverse cities in the United States. The largest city in California and a major financial center for the Pacific Rim. Competes with New York City as the cultural capital of the United States; most movies and television shows are made in coordinated efforts between Los Angeles and New York, although most movie studios have their headquarters' in Los Angeles. LA has about a billion suburbs that are essentially considered part of Los Angeles as a single city, although the city itself has only a population of some 3.7 million. Los Angeles is notorious for smog and gang-related crime; seperate inner-city working-class suburbs such as Compton or Long Beach have been made the subject of rap songs talking about the crime levels that have gained some notoriety and earned LA one of it's less-enviable titles as "the Gang Capital of the World". Fortunately, the beautiful Pacific coastline and the numerous beaches and tropical climate offset some of the not-so-good parts of the city. LA also has an awesome music scene, a great clubbing sector, and countless appreciative cultural institutions such as the Getty Museum to visit that provide the city with a depth, culture and history that are enviable. It's an awesome city. Watch out for the traffic though.

Person who has never been to Los Angeles: Man LA is such a shithole, it has so much smog and traffic and gang-related crime Me: Have you ever been there Person who has never been to Los Angeles: No but I saw Training Day Me: Die please

1. The short version of the full name "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Poriuncula," which is what the city was originally called. 2. The city that represents California to the rest of the country. In reality, Los Angeles is as dissimilar as it is possible to be from the rest of the state. 3. An amazing city that is resented by people in most other parts of the country for assorted reasons. Supposedly, we're all liberal, weed-smoking, anorexic gangsters who drive around in SUVs with a Starbucks fat-free latte permanently grasped between our manicured fingers and dream of making it big in Hollywood one day. Okay, maybe not all at once. LA does have a lot of suburbs, but over time they've all sort of melted together. It is divided roughly into two main regions. The City is south of the Hollywood Hills and The Valley is north of them (there's no definite line, but you usually know which one you're in. I generally go by whether you're north or south of Mulholland. Probably if you haven't been to LA you don't know what I'm talking about). Some sub-cities in The City are West Hollywood, Hollywood, Downtown, Santa Monica, and Beverley Hills. Some in The Valley are Studio City, Pasadena, Burbank, Encino, Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys, and Valley Village. Truths: Usually you don't see people walking like in New York. We drive. There are tons of freeways. There is a lot of traffic and you have to learn how to navigate so that you don't get stuck on the 10 freeway for six hours. This city is immensely cosmopolitan. We have slums. We have gangs. We have good restaurants. We have many studios such as Disney, Paramount, Nickelodeon, etc. There's smog, but it's just sitting on the horizon, not bothering anyone. In fact, it makes the sunsets beautiful. We're not as superficial as people think. Our public transportation is horrible. Our public school system is broke. Our weather is perfect 99.99999% of the time. If we have more than two days of nonstop rain local news stations start a StormWatch2000 segment. People here are nice. If you pass someone on the street they will say hello and sometimes even ask you how you're doing. We have really nice museums such as the Getty Center, LACMA (Los Angeles County Museum of Art), and the La Brea Tar Pits (better than it sounds). We have beaches. It is not surprising to see someone getting arrested or to sit a table away from an actor/actress at a restaurant. We're pretty laid back people. You will never run out of stuff to do here. I can't think of any place I would rather live. Misconceptions: Hollywood is NOT THAT GREAT. If you come here you would be better off at The Grove. Many of us are, in fact, aware of the state of humanity. All of the good theme parks are in Florida. Our Universal Studios and Disneyland get old fast. We're not that obsessed with plastic surgery. We don't have big earthquakes that often, though there are minor ones now and then. I've only been in one serious quake, so all you east coast people can stop freaking out.

Los Angeles isn't as horrible as people think it is. In fact, it's probably one of the less horrible cities in this country. I quite like it.

1. Spanish for The Angels. 2. A city located in Southern California. Los Angeles dates back all the way to the early 1500s. Thats even earlier than when the Pilgrims arrived at Plymmouth Rock. The Spanish governed first, then The Mexican government and now the U.S. L.A. became an official California and U.S. city in 1850. Since then Los Angeles has grown to become a city rich economically, culturally, and ideally. The city has everything you'll ever want. Los Angeles's size in area rivals that of New York's and Chicago's. L.A. has several communities and neighborhoods such as: Downtown L.A., Hollywood, the most famous, and Universal City. L.A.'s population consists of four main races: White, Latino, Black, and Asian. Latinos have the biggest influence ,of all the minorities, in Los Angeles. This a big reason why Los Angeles has developed to be what it is. Ofcourse Los Angeles is not all good looks and glamour. When a city like this has all this to offer you bet crime is not far behind. Los Angeles has its share of ruthless, despicable, and fearful criminals, but what major city dosen't have them? The crime in Los Angeles and all the rumors are what give L.A. it's bad name. All there is to know about this is either stay away or come see for yourself. Anyone who bad-mouths Los Angeles either does not live in L.A. or does but can't seem to get around this avoidable problem. L.A. is for those who have the balls to discover what it has to offer them. At the end of each day the sun sets and until tommorow when a new day is to be made.

Guy from Los Angeles : Yes\! There's a blue sunny sky. It's a beautiful day for baseball at Dodger Stadium. I'ts gonna be a bitch to drive there, but fuck it\!

The only place in the world where a person can be seen flipping someone off with one hand, talking on a cell phone, reading the newspaper and drinking a latte, all while doing 90 in the right lane of the thruway.

When I moved from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles I sold my car and killed myself.

Yes, I actually grew up in a Los Angeles suburb (Palos Verdes), and spent roughly 23 years in various parts of the collective LA area. Here's what it breaks down to: A) Countless suburbs chock full of wiggers, soccer moms, dope smokers, hippies, etc. B) The downtown area, with its "business district" (Don't make me go down there and eat your lunch) -- some of the softest people I've seen in my life. The eight hour workday is the norm here, any more and you're a "greedy, selfish sonofabitch". C) Chock-full of illegal aliens who'll try and peddle everything from flowers to belt buckles to narcotics. The police here can't arrest/deport them unless they're actually caught commiting a crime. D) Crime is a lot worse than the media would like you to believe. Basically, the jail system is so overcrowded you'll get released immediately after being arrested (and never show up to trial), or serve a couple days in the county jail system. It's a true revolving door. E) Getting around is an absolute JOKE. You have to drive to get anything accomplished. Public transportation is not a viable option here. You will spend two+ hours to drive 20 miles on the freeway. Roads and highways are poorly maintained, READ: potholes galore. F) This whole town is built on perceptions -- everyone is pretending to be something they're not. Image is everything in LA. You have countless stuck-up women/whores, "entrepreneurs", people living at home with daddy's credit card, etc. Very little substance, plenty of superficial people. G) The city, overall, moves VERY slow. The entire state is VERY liberal. People in Los Angeles don't accomplish anything; they're too busy taking their poodle to get groomed, attending the latest illegal alien rights protest, etc. Wasting time here is the norm. H) Yes, there are beaches. Yes, the climate is fairly warm most of the time. However, countless times during the year, beaches are closed due to pollution. Smoking is banned at public beaches. The sky is brown due to pollution. I) Hollywood is chock-full of transexuals, gays, drug addicts, bums, and other undesirables. HIV+ capital of the world (outside of San Francisco). J) There is plenty of racial tension, gang wars, violence, etc. LA is home to some of the worst slums in the nation. K) The "educational" system is more baby sitting rather than learning. Schools are underfunded, everyone passes classes regarless of merit, and riots/violence occurs on a daily basis. L) Real estate prices are through the roof (2005) -- even mediocre housing in a low-income area will cost in excess of $500,000. Shelter is approaching and even surpassing Manhattan in many areas. OK, so there are some attactions: Disneyland, the beaches, and Hollywood. Aside from that, there's really nothing more to see in Los Angeles. It's an OK place to visit for a couple days. Trust me, it gets old. If you're considering moving here to "become famous", or "make it big", take a number and get in line. Everyone here is trying to accomplish the same thing, yet nobody actually puts any effort into achieving their goals. LA is a shithole, always has been, and will continue on its downtrend. My advice? STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE\!

Joe: I make $150k/hour, worked at 300 companies, drive a Rolls Royce, and have a ten foot dick. Mike: No way\! I'm moving to Los Angeles so I can be like you\! You were working at McDonalds yesterday\! Vato Loco: Hey holmes, lets go blast on them niggas in tha 'hood.

Guy: Lets go grab some dinner. Girl: Like, no way you fucking looser, I only date guys who are movie stars, and like, have ten foot dicks, like Joe. Forget the fact I, like, screw losers -- I'm going to be a, like, complete bitch 'cause I'm like, you know, a LA GIRL\!\!\!

First off, don't write about LA if you've visited for 3 days on a vacation. You don't know Los Angeles. Los Angeles is one of the biggest cities/counties in the US (2nd largest population and all that). We have more ethnicities in one square mile of LA than there are in the entire Midwest. Gangs? Yeah, if you go to the [CPT] or [LBC]. Not everywhere. Hot guys & girls? Of course. We've got beaches, and we go to them. A lot. Be happy that many of us care about our appearance. Movie stars? Yes. Jim Carrey was filming a movie down the street from me not long ago. Most movies and tv shows you watch are filmed here. In the past year, there were probably a dozen or so shot within 10 minutes of my house (Pirates of the Caribbean, the OC, Fun with Dick and Jane, etc.) Fake people? Where are you NOT going to have them? LA people are stereotypically superficial, and its true for some and completely false for others. It just depends. Gays, Lesbians, etc? Yep. So traffic can be a bitch. The 405, the 110, the 710. It's frustrating, but… whatever. There are no seasons. Always between 60 and 80. Any higher, freak heat wave. Any lower, it must be raining, which happens maybe 5 times a year. BEACHES. They’re beautiful. If you’re lucky enough to visit LA, spend a day at a beach. Hermosa, Redondo, Torrance, RAT, wherever. Various other good features: nice shopping, nice houses, nice suburbs, UCLA and USC, In N’ Out. And bad things: smog, litter, high-ish crime rate, too many illegal aliens, run-down areas, streets that need repair.

Yeah, I live in Los Angeles. [Palos Verdes]. Kid from Nebraska: OH MY GOSH YOU'RE FROM LA?\!?\!?\! YOU'RE LIKE, GOD OR SOMETHING\!\!

12. (Los Angeles) (187↑, 116↓)
1. City that has: lots of traffic, many suburbs, industry, a busy airport, a busy seaport, multiculturalism, beaches, mountains, upscale shopping, the movie industry, strained race relations, a corrupt but improving police department, a decent music scene, a high but declining crime rate, and a major inferiority complex to New York. 2. City that lacks: seasons, a decent public transit system, quality architecture (though Disney Hall is a step in the right direction), an actual downtown, and culture that is not affiliated with the electronic media (theatre, opera, etc.). 3. City that needs: everything that it lacks, though there's not much that can be done about seasons.

Overall, a great city that gets a bad rap for its shortcomings. There are better, and there are worse. As for you, Cukamonga Kid or whatever your name is. I doubt you've been to New York, so quit comparing LA to a place that you don't know about. Out, bitches.

13. (los angeles) (155↑, 95↓)
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.

14. (Los Angeles) (89↑, 38↓)
An oftened made fun of, ridiculed, and stereotyped city. In reality, it's a great city. I'm a native Angeleno and I think I would know my city. All that makes LA a fantastic city: 1. Largest city on the West Coast and in California (by far) with a population of 4.1 million according to wikipedia. 2. One of the ten alpha world cities ranked by the GaWC and is the most powerful city and richest city on the West Coast. 3. Probably has the most diverse geographic landscape in the country with mountains, beaches, palm trees, deserts, forests, etc. Where else can one lay out on the beach and in the next hour be hiking in the mountains? 4. One of the most ethnically diverse cities in the world, up there with New York City, London, and Toronto. 5. A world class city with plenty of culture- a major center of film, tv, music, science, art, fashion, theater, pop-culture, celebrities, etc. that plays a large role in influencing American culture. 6. A city of extremes from the filthy rich Bel-Air to the dirt-poor Skid Row, all of which are living in the same city. 7. Each community is like its own world in that all of them are so different. Beverly Hills - glamour. Hollywood - young, creative, artsy. Malibu - laid back yet still high maintenance. LA being a sprawling and divided city creates for an extremely diverse environment with many different types of people. 8. Third safest big city in the United States after New York City and San Jose. Los Angeles is mistakenly labeled as the gangster capital of the world. While we certainly have probably the most gangs in our metro area, most of them are located in Compton, NOT part of the City of Los Angeles so it doesn't count. Besides, places like Detroit, Philadelphia, and St. Louis (recently named the most dangerous city in the US) have higher crime rates. LA's crimte rate has been declining over the past couple of years. 9. Smog - yes there is LOTS of smog here. However all cities have smog. Sometimes it is smoggy enough here to fully obstruct the mountains. Sometimes we have crystal clear skies (this week has been very clear). 10. A growing Downtown. Will be much improved in ten years. 11. A growing public transportation system. It only took about twenty years for us to have our current public transit system. Summary: Los Angeles is a dirty and superficial city. It is actually one of the safest big cities in the US and is the second wealthiest in the US behind New York City. Los Angeles County has the highest number of millionaires in this country. LA is both ugly and beautiful. West Los Angeles (Bel-Air, Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades) is beautiful while East Los Angeles (Highland Park, Lincoln Park, Boyle Heights) is rather ugly. For the most part, LA is not too architecturally beautiful but we do have some great buildings in Downtown and West Los Angeles has some of the most impressive suburban private architecture. LA is a very beautiful city once you take in account its geographic location. LA is a diverse, multi-cultured, global, hip, and trendy city. It's a fascinating place unlike no other. It has great weather. It is located in close proximity to other major destinations (San Diego, Santa Barbara, Las Vegas, Big Bear). It's a multi-facted city. It's not the best city but certainly not the worst.

Los Angeles may not function well as a city, but it still is an influential city in terms of its cultural offerings.

15. (los angeles) (194↑, 145↓)
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.

16. (Los Angeles) (102↑, 62↓)
The second largest city in America (NYC is number 1). A city where you will always find something to do worthwhile. It has nice weather with much cultural diversity but LA has its reputation for smoggy air, traffic, crime and it's a very sprawled-out city.

Despite its flaws, I wouldn't mind moving there eventually. I despise the lame city I live in called [Portland].

17. (Los Angeles) (51↑, 18↓)
Los Angeles is the second most populous city in the United States (after New York), but the largest in terms of what is considered the Greater Los Angeles Area (which is generally considered to include Los Angeles County, Riverside County, Orange County, San Bernardino County, and Ventura County, sometimes referred to as "The Southland"). Los Angeles County itself is also the most populous county in the United States. When people normally refer to "Los Angeles," they generally refer to the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, which includes only Los Angeles and Orange Counties. The Los Angeles Metropolitan Area is composed of many separate cities that are sometimes mistaken as neighborhoods within Los Angeles as well as many neighborhoods that are sometimes mistaken for separate cities. Beverly Hills, for example, is its own city within Los Angeles county (it has its own mayor, police department, and everything), while Hollywood is merely a district within the City of Los Angeles. People from Los Angeles are known as "Angelenos." Los Angeles is known as the media capital of the world because of the large numbers of movie studios in the city, as well as the numerous television studios and the dynamic music scene that has spawned acts like The Doors, Beck, Eagles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and many more. The first successful movie filmed in Los Angeles is generally considered to be 1914's "The Birth of a Nation." There are four main area codes in Los Angeles proper: 213 was the first area code in the city, and now refers only to a small area downtown. The 323 area code forms a circle around the 213 area. 310 refers to west Los Angeles, and has by far the biggest coverage of any of the Los Angeles area codes, stretching as far north as "The Valley" (more on that later) and as far south as the San Pedro bay. The 818 area code refers to "The Valley" alone (including the far northern parts of Los Angeles as well as the suburbs even farther north of that). Other less known area codes include 424 (a recent overlay of 310). The Los Angeles area has many districts and cities that I'll now try to tackle, though I can't possibly squeeze what people have written entire books about into a small article online. Perhaps the most famous district of Los Angeles is Hollywood, home of the golden age of cinema. While some studios still exist in Hollywood, much of the movie industry has moved out to cheaper areas; nevertheless, Hollywood is still the classic "name" in the movie industry. Nowadays, Hollywood is mostly home to both high-income housing and low-income housing, depending on what part you are in. Generally, the real estate immediately around Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard (which run parallel to each other) is expensive, while anything a few blocks down is cheap and sketchy. Hollywood Boulevard itself is nowadays mostly overcrowded with tourists most of the year, who come to observe the infamous "Walk of Fame," which stretches for several miles. The congestion mostly centers around two of Hollywood's biggest attractions, which are very close to each other: Grauman's Chinese Theater (an icon of grand, classic movie palaces) and the mall at Hollywood and Highland (which is built to resemble the set of "Intolerance," another movie directed by D.W. Griffith, the man who directed "Birth of a Nation"). The area around those two points if interest, while touristy, is often somewhat sketchy at night as it is inhabited by transsexuals and strange people dressed in costumes (though I do recommend getting a photo with one of them at least once in your life). Other attractions in Hollywood include the infamous Hollywood Sign, which is technically in the Hollywood Hills (north of Hollywood). The sign can be observed from many points throughout the county, however. Another famous area in Los Angeles is West Hollywood, which is its own city (it has its own mayor, police department, and everything). Despite the name, it's not techincally related to Hollywood itself, even though it is west of Hollywood. A popular misconception is that natives call this area "WeHo," though I've never heard the term. West Hollywood is most famously home to the "Sunset Strip," a series of blocks on Sunset Boulevard that contains many staples of Los Angeles culture including the Whisky A Go-Go (The Doors had several early shows there), The Viper Room (previously owned by Johnny Depp, actor River Phoenix died there), and many more. The city of Beverly Hills is one of the more affluent areas in Los Angeles county. Attractions include the multiple Beverly Hills signs that dot the city, around which tourists congregate on weekends and during summers to snap photos. Also in Beverly Hills is the famous Rodeo Drive, a street that plays home to the most chic (and expensive) of designer clothing. There are many, many clothing stores throughout Beverly Hills, many of them more affordable than yet still as chic as the ones on Rodeo. Santa Monica is another independent city on the coast of Los Angeles where you can find even more shopping down Main Street, which has several quirky, unique stores along with big names like American Apparel. The 3rd Street Promenade is also famous for its stores. Santa Monica is also the location of most of the county's cleaner beaches, as well as some of the nicest weather in the area, due to its seaside location. Downtown Los Angeles is a district of the city that has several very cool attractions like Dodger Stadium, the Disney Concert Hall, and the Wiltern, though be warned--it is very, very easy to get lost downtown and end up in a very sketchy neighborhood. I highly suggest that nobody goes there unless they're with someone who knows what they're doing, as the neighborhood isn't so tourist-friendly. Other attractions include the tallest building west of Chicago, which is the US Bank Tower. As far as Orange County goes, there is not much there. The community of Laguna Beach was made famous by the MTV television show, but isn't that interesting of a place in general. The only real interesting thing in Orange County is Disneyland, which is in the city of Anaheim. North of the bulk of Los Angeles lies the San Fernando Valley, known as just "The Valley" by locals. It is home to the communities of Sherman Oaks, Encino, Van Nuys, and several other places that aren't too interesting to check out. Strangely, since it's a valley, The Valley is usually several degrees warmer or cooler than the rest of the city (you can literally drive for five minutes and experience a ten degree temperature drop). Yes, Los Angeles is famous for its crime rate, which was the worst in the early 90s, but has since gone down significantly. Cities famous for gang culture in the Los Angeles area include Compton, Watts, and Inglewood, which are all generally south of anything interesting or relevant in the city, so most residents don't go down there. In terms of public transportation, there is virtually none. The bus system is helpful for residents who are willing to take the time to learn its confusing routes, but most people just take cars everywhere, which is sort of easy thanks to the extensive network of highways that traverses the city. Unfortunately, these highways are often backed up, leading to severe traffic when traveling long distances. Yes, there is a subway system in Los Angeles, but it mostly just covers the downtown area (yet some lines do extend north into The Valley and south into Compton). It's generally considered more of a novelty by people who have cars. Public education in Los Angeles is considered by some to be a joke, which is partly true. Public high schools in Los Angeles tend to offer very poor educations, though many elementary schools and some middle schools are top-notch. Los Angeles is also home to a private school "scene" perhaps rivaled only by New York City, with dozens of private schools offering superb educations to those whose parents have enough money to spend on them. I have to mention the weather in Los Angeles, which is bright and sunny about 80% of the time. There is usually a period in late winter when it rains for several days, but other than that rain is very rare and, for that matter, so are clouds. The climate is very dry (we are in a desert, after all), which is pleasant in the summer because the city gets hot but not muggy. Yes, the air quality in Los Angeles is pretty bad, although it's not too noticeable from breathing alone. However, from certain high points in the city, you can definitely see the smog layer over the Los Angeles basin. At dusk it looks really cool, and it makes for great sunsets\! Generally, Los Angeles is a great place to be if you know what to avoid. While it's hard to get around, it's a great place to visit because of all the fun things to do (concerts, clubs, shopping, etc) and sights to see. Sometimes it's a pain in the ass to live here, but for the most part it's a blast\! (I think that I have the know-how to write about this, considering I'm a NATIVE Angeleno. As in, I hail from the actual city itself, not some lame suburb...)

Person 1: Dude, Los Angeles totally suxxxx0rz omg I'm gonna get shot if I go\!\!\! Person 2: Have you ever been? Most neighborhoods are pretty safe, and there's a lot of cool shit to do. Person 1: z0mg but what about the earthquakes?\!?\!?\!? Person 2: They don't happen that often, like once or twice per year. And they're not huge. Sometimes they're kinda fun, actually. Person 1: aaahhhh whatevverrr Im not goin i'm happy staying hereee in my lame-ass suburb in middle Americcaaaaaa Person 2: Suit yourself.

Popular culture is American culture.

22. (Los Angeles) (44↑, 18↓)
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.

One of the best places to live, people who visit don't understand the city and often have differnt opinions. There is so much diversity so racist may not want to live here or visit, plus we dont want you here go back to georgia, but if your cool with mexicans, asians, blacks, whites, and ect... you shouldn't have a problem fitting in. Los angeles is the most important city in the west, with out L.A. All of the South West would be screwd. Los angeles has the greatest amount of rail that connects the entire United states, so all you arizonins driving your Honda Civics remember all those cars came from the ShipYards from Los Angeles and Long Beach and were railed to your shity desert. Apart from being always related to movies and T.v. Los Angeles is the economic capital of all the west, there are so many jobs here and once you are old enough to drive legaly there are endless ammount of places you can go to have fun and just relax. The subway system is still under construction in some areas, but most of the subway has been finished a long time ago. All of which lead to everywhere important. Bad thing is you really need car or you'll be on a train and bus for hrs. GOod news freeways are gonna be renovated and the city is cleaning up both gang related and beautifully. Development is now rising up like NEW YORK, Tall Apartment buildings are immenint in the Future and even know you can see them develop.

Los Angles the most hated and misunderstood city. whats funny We dont give a damn.

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.

I hate L.A. too.

27. (Los Angeles) (34↑, 14↓)
A cosmopolitan, international world-class city, with something to offer for everyone. I've seen some of the scariest definitions and ideas about Los Angeles posted by other people, some of whom claim to be from L.A. Let me first say that I am an L.A. native and I've lived the majority of my life here. Like any major city throughout the world, L.A. has it's problems. There are gangs in many areas, the air quality can be bad depending on the day and as we all know our traffic is downright nasty. Here are some points to consider though: 1. L.A. has some of the most amazing restaurants representing some of the most diverse ethnic cuisines from around the world. These restaurants can be found many of L.A.'s traditionally ethnic neighborhoods: Koreatown, Little Ethiopia, Chinatown, Thai Town, J-Town, etc. 2. L.A. has world class museums and galleries: LACMA, MOCA, the Getty Center and Villa, Petersen, Tar Pits, etc. 3. L.A. has an amazingly comprehensive transportation system, both for motorists and its public transit system. Check out a Thomas Guide to see the massive network of streets and freeways and check out www.metro.net to see the major bus and rail operator's network (which by the way is one of many networks throughout the County). 4. L.A.'s incredible geography and topography allows for a plethora of outdoor activities at its doorstep: hiking, biking, snowboarding, surfing, beachgoing, rollerblading, etc. 5. L.A. has one of the most diverse populations you will find. Though this mostly applies to the urban areas, you are likely to see people of a dozen different backgrounds walking down the street at any given moment in a busy area. L.A.'s problems are largely justifiable given it's size, density, diversity and climate: 1. Crime. Yes there's crime and much of it is gang violence, but the per-capita crime rate isn't unusually high. It's also a given to have racial tension in a place with large populations of ethnic minorities living side by side in many instances. 2. Smog. The reason there is so much smog in L.A.: geography. L.A. is in a basin with mountains behind it. The mountains trap the air coming in from the ocean and the pollutants coming from vehicles, refineries and other sources have nowhere to go. Some days, the sky is yellow and it's not pleasant to look at. Other days the sky is beautiful and clear and the city is gorgeous. 3. Traffic. The reason we have so much traffc: the City is vast and relatively dense for its size. Furthermore, people are forced to live farther and farther from their workplace due to escalation of home prices. Commute times increase and the freeways get clogged. This is a definite problem and there are two solutions (they don't include improving the freeways): build more dense and transit-oriented developments and improve the job markets in outlying areas. Another thing worth mentioning: traffic isn't always bad and it's usually directional; the 405 South through the Sepulveda Pass during rush-hour is wide open. Also, there are many alternate routes including on-street routes which people fail to recognize or use. 4. People. Time and time again, I hear complaints about the "fake" and "Hollywood" types. I'll be the first to admit that these people exist and in some places, they are in abundance. The solution: don't associate with them. The reality is that these people are in the small minority even though it seems like everyone is trying to be an actor.

Johnny: Yo Los Angeles sucks everyone's fake and the air is gross and bums shit on the sidewalk. Traffic is a parking lot everywhere and the beach is polluted. Me: Have you ever actually left your suburban tract home in Laguna Niguel and explored L.A.? Johnny: FU

A giant conglomeration of everything the world has to offer. An alternative to the world, or the capitol? A paradox, a Utopia, a Distopia. Hate, Love. It is not simple. No one can and ever will understand it. Everything you think about LA is false. No matter who you are. I will live there forever, because it is where all the questions are. Other than that.. It is the second largest urban area in America. located in the southwest corner of the U.S. Bad: Its public transportation system has poor ridership compared to other American cities (NYC, Chicago), it lacks a singular defining center, it has poor air quality when compared to many other american cities, it has poor water supplies for its population, ethnic segregation similar to other American cities, and worst of all.. It has made itself famous through the culture industry and simultaneously propogated the myth of Los Angeles as a unidimensional place when in fact that is the only thing Los Angeles is not. Good: Hands down, the undisputed most diverse conglomeration of people, cultures, ethnicities, subcultures, interest groups, etc. in the entire world. Beautiful weather and diverse ecology (mountains, beaches, wetlands, forests, deserts) A unique history that dates back to its founding in 1781. Incredibly diverse Architecture and historic sites. Downtown Los Angeles contains the largest contiguous collection of pre-1930s buildings in America. It also has the most Beaux-Arts (late 1800s) office buildings anywhere in the world. The defining world center for modern residential architecture. A rich Art Deco tradition, including numerous world-renowned zig-zag moderne masterpieces. The only city in the world bisected by a mountain range. Has the largest interurban park in America. Its port complex is the second busiest in the world after Amsterdam's. It is the industrial capitol of America, making everything from textiles and toys to Jet Aircraft and sattelites. Has the largest number of government offices outside of Washington D.C. More museums per capita than any American city. The densest metro area in America. Considerably better air quality than 30 years ago. Most public transit in development than any city in America. Rapidly densifying city centers. River being reclaimed from concrete (originally installed to prevent flooding). Affordable housing, parks, infrastructure, education are number one priorities for L.A.'s first hispanic mayor since the 19th century. Art scene rapidly reaching worldwide recognition as most important in America. Literary scene exploding. High rise residential construction at all-time high. And then, obviously, World-Famous for Entertainment, sports teams, etc. etc. Great changes are happening in LA. It is equal parts potential and kinetic energy. There is no doubt in my mind that LA is developing into THE global example. (right now it is simply the global condition) LOS ANGELES IS THE PLACE TO BE IN THE NEXT TWENTY YEARS.

Although known as a city in the state of California, the city is light years away from Earth. The smog, traffic, overpopulation, corrupt cops, elitist rich, hostile poor and Holly-weird freaks make Los Angeles the haven where many souls come to die. This place is a pretty postcard gone terribly wrong.

How could hell be any worse? And yes, I live here.

The hollywood hills will turn into a lanslide of the rich and famous.

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."

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.

Los Angeles has good weather and is a nice plce to visit but damn if you want to live there.

Oh I have been waiting a long time for this, coming from Ny/Nj area I thought LA would be nice (i was forced to come), since i got off the plane it has sucked, For the last 18 mos i have really kept an open mind and this is my synopsis, LA is a fucking pit. The people cant drive, in sunny weather, let alone a light drizzle, during a light drizzle, the city comes to a grinding halt, schools close and people lock there doors, maybe they wouldnt get robbed, carjacked and burglarized if they had the brains to lock there doors, its 2006 damn it, Maybe there wouldnt be gangbangers if law enforcment did anything, LAPD, who are they i never even seen them, i got held up in a tobacco shop and the cops didnt come for 30 minutes, In Ny the cops would come in 2 sec, guns blazing, besides what do you need cops for, every ilegal turn is standard operating procedure here , its perfectly normal to "flipabitch" into oncoming traffic or have two lanes making a lefturn, they say i have an accent, have you ever heard these superficial moron s speak, its coffee, not kafeee\! look up the prononce in the dictionary "coow""fe", the people have no brains either everyone is an aspiring actor and has an agent, and most these frauds come from outoftown to boot, so basically what your saying is that you are too rich or lazy to work, and people should pay you to prance around on set all day cause your that COOL\!, no wonder this is such a great place, very intellectual people huh? The bus is a NIGHTMARE there is no schedule , well there is but it doesnt come on sced so its useless, the 10 diffrent bus services they have dont connect with out a half mile walk, god forbid you have to take a bus after 10pm, if its more than one bus your lucky to make it half way there, but then you get to walk the rest of the way,(at least the weathers nice rght\!) you could call a friend to pick you up if the la-ites thought you well enough to grace your presince, but thats not gonna happen cause locals will not drive more than two blocks away, cause its to far, except to buy more methamphetamine, because it cures that pesky urge to eat, somthing la-ers could careless about. They all have eating disorders anyway even the men.but its okay cause the only thing to eat is mexican food, try getting pizza outhere, unless it has celery as a topping. People here are scum, yeah the women are pretty, but unless your 50, bald, have a belly and drive a german suv, fogettaboutit\!, jus cause she's 22 and your 23 and have substance, dosent mean she digs u all she sees is a bank account.another thing, trash is in here, if your whitetrash, blacktrash latin or asian trash "AND" have $$$ too\!\!\!\!the chicks flock to you,yes they pick u, theres no wiggle room with this, these freaks ALWAYS beat aroun the bush, there zero chance of somone being straight with you, no, literally, als there all undercover homos here, the guys act straight one minute, next there frolicking around west hollywood in some flipflops or a pr of pink ugz, yes , why , cause everyone in this cultureless hell hole is bizarre, cant dress, where weird shit, act like eccentric, narcasistic bafoons, and think they should get paid for it too.I can go forever with this, Ive been stuck here for months everyday is struggle not to off myself here, i via for normal new yorker who are straight up and have moorals boundries, NEVER AGIN will i live here NEVER AGAIN, i went home for vacation and kissed the FU*&\#N ground when i landed. Its like an old guns and roses video that wont end. I will never comeback again\!

los angeles is the pitts, dont even compare to nyc or nj

Many people seem to be confused about the layout of the city of Los Angeles and think that it is just made of a billion suburbs. Los Angeles County is the most populous county in the United States. The county seat is the city of Los Angeles, which is the second largest city in the US. Other cities in the county include [Long Beach], [Glendale], [Pasadena], [Compton], etc. These cities are much smaller than Los Angeles, but they're interesting. In these cities you'll find attractions such as parks, museums,beaches, and much more.

People often think that the cities which surround Los Angeles are part of the city, when they are actually all part of Los Angeles County.

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.

Contrary to popular belief, Los Angeles is one of the most cultured cities in the US and the world. Los Angeles is a major center for film, television, and recorded music. In fact according to the USC Stevens Institute for Innovation, there are more "artists, writers, filmmakers, actors, dancers and musicians living and working in Los Angeles than any other city at any time in the history of civilization. There are more than 1,100 annual theatrical productions and 21 openings every week." Los Angeles has the third largest performing arts center in the nation, only behind New York City and Denver. It houses one of the finest orchestras in the world, Los Angeles Philharmonic. It also has houses the Los Angeles Opera, the Los Angeles Master Chorale, and the Center Theater Group. It also has an amazing contemporary art scence, said to be the best in the world by many top artists. Its premier contemporary art museum MOCA has in a short period of time, amassed one of the finest permanent collections in the country with over 5,000 works or art. In addition, dozens of art galleries have opened up in Downtown and Culver City over the past few years, making Los Angeles a hot city for contemporary art. Just down the street from the Los Angeles Music Center is the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, the third largest cathedral in the world. Lastly, according to the USC Stevens Institute for Innovation, Los Angeles "boasts the most museums of any city. There are also numerous art galleries and music, dance, theatre, and film offerings." Los Angeles has some fine museums and cultural institutions like Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), which is the largest encyclopedic musueum west of Chicago, the J. Paul Getty Trust foundation which is the wealthiest art instituion in the country with an endowment of $5.8 billion. It operates the Getty Center, the Getty Villa, the Getty Foundation, the Getty Research Institute, and the Getty Conservation Institute. Also, there's the Griffith Park Observatory, a world leader in astronomy, the Hammer Museum, the Museum of Tolerance, the Japanese American Museum, the Museum of the American West, the Skirball Cultural Center and Museum, etc.

Los Angeles is one of the most cultured cities in the world, something most people fail to realize.

Gang-ridden city, where the thugs outnumber cops by 10 to 1. For every cop, there are 35 gang members. LA is the city where if the cops won't shoot you dead, the gangs will. Turf wars, gang murders, killings, rapes, murders, carjackings galore. It will take the National Guard to crush the gangs there.

Yo, this dude got hit up with an AK for wearing red.

The best city in the world. Exciting. Is there life beyond LA? I doubt it. Not at all dangerous, felt safer on the streets of LA than I do in my city of Auckland, New Zealand. LA-ites say "love your accent, so like, where are you from?" My answer is always Utah - and they seem to buy it.

Gang members on Huntington drive asked me to tank their car for free (because of my accent I guess I sounded like a tourest) I to them to go away in Maori (Native New Zealand) and they drove off. I think LA gangs get a bad rap - not as bad as their rep

Good: There are some cool looking neighborhoods, with different styles of houses, each one different than the one next to it. Diverse people, with some really good Mexican food. A few beaches are decent, and Angeles Crest is alright. The ethnic market on Broadway with the old buildings is a cool neighborhood. The skyline is cool at night. Bad: The city will rip you off for everything you have. Parking signs are misleading, I have 1000 dollars in parking tickets in a year, parking meters can cost two dollars for an hour, the city charges you for parking on Sunday without telling you, housing is the 49/50 most expensive city in the nation. The museums, unlike the MET in NY charge you. If you are a museum do not bring your art to the Getty because it is surrounded in all directions by dry brush. The landscape is UGLY, and neighborhoods burn down each year. There is not a stream that is not encased in concrete in 100 miles. There is hardly any public space, and the recreation areas will charge you if you want to arrive there in a car (the only way to get there unless you plan to walk five or more miles). There was no city planning involved in this city, so it takes forever to get anywhere. Traffic is awful, and public transportation is the worst of any city I have been to. I have waited at a bus stop for over an hour until a lady finally told me that they had moved the stop to around the corner without changing the signs. I wanted to see the La Brea Tar Pits without paying for admission, so I parked my car on the street and looked over the gate. Two seconds later my car had a 140 dollar anti-gridlock ticket on it although the sign was on the other end of the street. Although the city apparently spends none of the money it receives on anything useful like parks, it must be in desperate need of revenue. Many intersections have cameras, and even if you stop your car before the intersection at a yellow light and you are over the cross walk line, the camera will take a picture of you and send you a 500 dollar ticket that will takes you forever to contest in court, and you will lose. The city has the largest homeless population in the country. When the city raises your already high (200/year+) garbage collection fees to add additional cops, it deceptively uses the money to pay the existing cops more. Hollywood is a slum and the clubs there are a sleaze fest. Los Angeles in general is the sleaziest city I have ever been to, and many people are incredibly superficial. For a city based on the entertainment industry talent is almost non-existent. Most of the clubs you go to there are rich kids who perform for attention and clearly (at least I hope they don't) practice at all or do what they don't perform because they love music or have any aptitude for it. People are extremely cliquee, obsessed with money, will rarely stop to help people in need besides giving change to people outside 711. The city, despite its casual look, is extremely status oriented, even more than NY, and people attach themselves to people who have similar things. People rarely have their own interests, ideas or talents, all though there are a few exceptions. Silverlake is a bunch of rich hipsters who are just as conformist as everyone else, except they join groups with other anti-conformists who dress the same as they do. Many beaches are slums or dominated by shopping malls. In Venice down to Costa Mesa there are many gangs and neo-nazis, and homeless punks will get into fights and stab each other at night while sleeping on the beach. The only nice beaches are away from the city, Zuma and Palos Verdes and Laguna beach. However these are all at least an hour drive when there is no traffic. The mountains are really not that scenic or cool, and the skiing around LA sucks. Downtown is the most pathetic downtown of the most large cities in the world. The city's major source of entertainment are its cookie cutter malls which offer the same exact stores and are generally banal unless the thing you like to do is shop, which is what most people in LA like to do. The people in general are self-absorbed and try to be just as like everyone else as they possibly can. It is hard to find real friends here, and many people will backstab or forget about you if you are not constantly stroking their ego and talking about them and how fabulous they are. The city is diverse and tolerant for the most part, but people are wary of each other and the city has a history of ethnic tension and riots. The city has a real unemployment rate of twenty percent and unless you have got a lazy entertainment or business job through connections at USC or UCLA, the price of living makes it not worth living here, unless you are willing to share a small apartment with two families or five single guys. USC is composed of a bunch of rich macho wiggers who think they are the shit because they lynch UCLA bears at football games, and UCLA and Westwood are lame and boring. There is nowhere to go to retreat from the city and feel relaxed and calm, and unless you get off writing your name on your buddy's guest list and then showing up at the club and checking your name off and listening to bad bands and talking to incredibly boring people who will either like you because you live the same boring life style as they do, or dislike you because you're not part of their group or you're not wearing what they want you to wear or driving what they want you to drive, LA gets old and boring very quickly. I have been part of a group and not part of the group and they are equally rewarding in LA. I think the people who write good reviews about LA must really hate the place too, but they are too embarrassed to admit it because hating LA is not the trend at the moment. However, if it does become popular, you can expect them to change their minds/ personality instantaneously.

Bob: Los Angeles is great. Joe: Ya dude\! Fred the leader: I don't like LA anymore dude, San Diego is the shit\! Joe: Ya Bob you're a dumbass San Diego is the shit. Bob: Ya man I was joking LOL

Los Angeles is very possibly the greatest city on Earth, actually it is, at the very least, the most influential city on Earth. It is the center of U.S. culture, "pop" culture anyway, which is what is most important these days. U.S. culture spreads though the world via film and TV, nearly all of which is conceived and produced in L.A.

A large metropolitan area split up into a billion 100,000 population "communities" Weather is good, but the people are rude airheads. [Hella] smog, and traffic. People there arn't too smart. Some parts are way to ghetto.

Man Los Angeles sucks, let's go upstate to the Bay Area where it's really poppin.

in a nutshell from a Native. Mid-City is TRUE LA Hancock Park \> Beverly Hills Pacific Palisades \> Malibu HOLLYWOOD IS NOT A CITY: its a rat infested hell hole with prostitutes everywhere. TOURISTS: DO NOT GO EAST OF VINE Long Beach and Compton (CPT/LBC) are independent Municipalities NOT part of the city. Latte sippers live around 3rd/Fairfax at Park La Brea aka "Hipster Projects" while in LA YOU MUST VISIT DINOS CHICKEN ON PICO/BERENDO In Mid-City Everything West of Century Park West is West LA Everything East of Alameda doesn't matter Dodgers Stadium is SAFE. UCLA \> University of South Central *YES, USC IS IN SOUTH CENTRAL ITS SOUTH OF DOWNTOWN. Tommys on Rampart/Beverly. (locals only) north of wilshire 10 million dollar homes, exactly across the street 500,000 dollar townhomes dont go below the "10" if you dont acually need to go there People in Mid-City/Downtown walk mostly everywhere Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs on Wilshire. The Redline is for tourists and valley people THE VALLEY IS NOT THE CITY, ITS A SUBURB. the stereotypes you hate are arrogant transplants. i have more in common with transplant new yorkers than i do with someone from Madison Wisconsin. WE DONT DRINK LATTES, TRANSPLANT MID-WESTERNERS DO. WE DRINK ICED COFFEE.

next to New York, Los Angeles is the second greatest place on earth.

Ok so where do I start? Los Angeles is the greatest place on Earth to me. This is the place that my parents chosed to come to America. They have made no regrets about it. It is diverse and feels like home. Being a Chinese American, I can honestly say that I have not lost touch with my culture because of Los Angeles. It may be sprawling and smoggy, but I still love it. I love the perfect weather and the blue skies. I love the breeze, especially in the summer. I love sitting on the beach watching the sun set over the horizon. I love the diversity of the people and the culture. Best of all, I love Mexican food. The Mexicans here are very nice and hardworking people once you get to know them. Their culture is so wonderful and fascinating. There are plenty of Hispanic/Mexican culture here in L.A. Ok fine, LA might not be what you see on TV like The Hills, Melrose Place, 90210, but what I like about it is that its not the most perfect city like what you see on television. Nevertheless, its still a wonderful city with many great things to do. Another thing I love about L.A is its diverse land and geography. We have hills, mountains, coasts, valleys, and deserts. You can go surfing on the beach one day and in the next hour, you can play in the snow up on the mountains. We have almost all the climate that is suitable for anyone. On the coast, it is very cool but the more inland you go, the hotter it gets.

I love Los Angeles\! Los Angeles is the city that is loved by many others.

Reply to: the Palos Verdes kid who thinks that she knows what LA is all about living in the valley. A) We have social diversity.Not everyone in LA is weed smoking high school dropout. B) Ever been to the business district? I'd like you to introduce me to these "soft people". C) The immigrants arent all negative druggies. I bet the theyre probably better people than you. D) Crime is not something taken lightly. E) Theres traffic in LA. Our city has the second biggest population in the nation, so logically, there should be a lot of traffic. F) We are not all superficial. We have a lot of dreamers and a lot of people who believe in their dreams. G) No one has a poodle in LA. Period. That's just- no. We don't like poodles. Except maybe you. Btw you sound very bitter. H) Um, what sky are you looking at? The one I see is actually very blue. Beaches arent often closed due to pollution. What's negative about smoking being banned at the beach? I) Homosexuals & people with HIV exist eveywhere. That's no secret. Also, hate to break it to you, homeless people are everywhere. J) Violence is a problem everywhere. K) Violence is NOT a problem at schools in LA. Also, people at my school have a 3.5 average. So HA\! L) Homes cost a lot cause theyre historical. There's LOADS to see her. Tons of places to visit around the Stars Walk of Fame. LA is the only city that represents every ethnicity. Dont talk crap about my city. K? K. Go fall in ditch (:

Owen: Hey Sung, wanna go get some Mexican food for breakfast? Sung: Fasho\! We should go surf later too. Owen: I was thinking of going snowboarding. Sung: We can do both \! We live in Los Angeles\! Owen: Oh yeah \! Italian for dinner? Sung: Yes\! Vietnamese for lunch? Owen: I'm down for Pho, foo. Sung: alright\! (at about 11 PM) Owen: Dude, I'm hungry. Sung: Let's get some In N Out\! Owen: I LOVE THIS CITY \!

One of the biggest cities in the world. Major ethnic groups are Mexican, Black, Iranian (especially Iranian Jews), Korean and White.

The City of Angels...Los Angeles

58. (los angeles) (64↑, 63↓)
Not a fucking city at all. Just many spread out suburbs. A place with no soul or culture. Full of punks and hoseheads of every kind. Capital of the devoid. People drive all around LA, what does that tell you? If it was interesting they would walk more, like in New York or San Francisco. A place that exports nothing of value, including culture, but sucks up so many resources to maintain like the dry braindead wastehole it is\!\!

Yo I'm coming straight outta LA, I just got this nigga spray dead in red, cuz he was wearing red. Now imma go piss on a palm tree, sniff shit in the garage, walk round on my circle shape block, then suck some mo LA cock\!\! Surfs up dude\!

Los Angeles - It seems that everything of cultural importance (or nearly everything) in the U.S. revolves around what happens in two places: New York and Los Angeles.

Regardless of the above, I prefer New Orleans, San Francisco, and Boston.

It's a bull-shit, three-ring circus, side-show of freaks here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A. The only way to fix it, is to flush it all away. Any fucking time. Any fucking day. Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona Bay.

"As soon as L.A. is destroyed by a giant earthquake and is flushed into the Pacific Ocean like the terd-city it is...the better off this world will be."

A city in California, famous for [Hollywood]. My Opinion: I have only spent a few days in Los Angeles in my life, so I don't pretend to have an opinion on it (and you shouldn't pretend you know so much either unless you have lived there), but a lot of people hate this city. I find this sad because they assume the rest of [California] is also bad, and California is a wonderful state which I lived in for years.

The movie was made in Los Angeles, California.

63. (los angeles) (33↑, 34↓)
Not a pretty or charming city. Many languages spoken here, many people/cultures live here. Population of Los Angeles (city) is about 4 million and Los Angeles County about 9 million.

L.A. is not pretty to look at.

64. (Los Angeles) (18↑, 20↓)
A cancerous tumor on the bunghole of America. Overpriced, Overpolluted Overcrowded Overpopulated and Overrated. Home of the rudest people on Earth and the worst drivers as well. The weather is always disgusting (constant year round sunshine means a build up of smog and constant drought conditions). The only solution the brain dead politicians here have is to blame everything on the illegal aliens and build another shopping mall. Public transporation is a joke. One more thing about illegal aliens. Most of them are just trying to make a living and doing the jobs nobody else wants. I mostly feel sorry for them. Their homes must be real shit holes if Los Angeles is an improbement. They should change it's name to something more descriptive, like God's Toilet.

Oh God, I'm in Los Angeles\! HELP\!\!\!\! I'm in HELL\!\!\!\!\!\!\!

Love towards Los Angeles... Don't hate if there's nothing to hate

(n.) a city on the west coast; the fake boob capitol of the world. In LA youre either a celebrity, an aspiring celebrity, a thug, a plastic surgeon, or a Mexican. If the earthquakes don't kill you, the smog will. And if the smog doesn't then you will commit suicide while in traffic. And if that still doesn't kill you then a thug will. Like New York City, but with a lower average IQ.

Los Angeles is so passe.

Apparently the second largest city in the U.S., it really isn't all that it's cracked up to be. It lacks charm unlike other metropolitan cities, and gets pretty old.

"What do you want to do today?" "I don't know, we've already done everything in Los Angeles at least seventy-four times, backwards, and with our arms tied behind our backs." "We could try driving blind-folded on the 405 because it's not like the traffic will be moving." "Wow, you live in L.A.? That's so cool." "Yeah, if you enjoy shallow shit."

69. (los angeles) (48↑, 51↓)

I grew up in LA, and like the brightest of my friends, got out, first chance I got. By the mid-eighties, the city had become the worst of all worlds, a place which combined the congestion, crime, and pollution of urban life with the lethal inanity of suburban life. Twenty years later, Los Angeles is even more polluted and dangerous than it was back in the eighties. Foreign tourists have always despised Los Angeles because of its hideous sprawl,suffocating smog and one's inability to get around on foot, but statistics reveal that these days, even Americans prefer such destinations as New York City, Miami, San Francisco, Las Vegas, to America's "second city," Los Angeles. What's more, last year, LA experience a net outflow of native Angelenos. Something is wrong, very wrong, with Los Angeles.

If you're part of the West Los Angeles tribe, bitchin' man\! Otherwise, Los Angeles bites the big one\!

A "city" in Southern California that really will, seriously, sink into the Pacific Ocean one day. That isn't just a joke, most geologist say it will happen. That is probably why every other city in America is sending all of its assholes there, so that when it does sink, the USA will be free of the worst of it's citizens. For whatever reason, LA likes to think it is in the same league as cities like New York and London. It isn't even close. If the San Adreas fault doesn't crack and send Los Angeles plumiting to the bottom of the ocean within the next 20 years, I suggest that we evacuate the 20 or so good people out of it and use it as a nuclear testing site. It already resembles and has the air quality of one, might as well make it official

Los Angeles is going to sink into the Pacific ocean one day, THANK GOD\!

73. (los angeles) (25↑, 29↓)
An interesting city with tons of cultural events, concerts, great museums, tons of ethnic diversity, the epitome of "multicultural". The only thing L.A. lacks is a great public transit system. Yes, L.A. has zillions of bus lines but busses share the road with cars and this makes them innefficient.

Los Angeles is a micro-cosom of the world, except GET MORE DAMN TRAINS, YOUR TRAFFIC IS HORRIBLE.

L.A. is a city whose infrastructure is about to collapse because of overcrowding and financial troubles. Most of this is due to the overwhelming influx of illegal aliens from Mexico moving in at the speed of a plague. They don't pay taxes to help maintain the roads, hospitals and other services that they consume illegally, and for which the rest of us who work and pay taxes have to pay for.

Unless we stop illegal immigration, Los Angeles will become a 3rd world city in the next 5 years.

The undisputed greatest city in the world. Not a collection of suburbs. The smog has severely depleted over the past few years and most other cities in the US can't hold a candle to it. Perfect weather everyday, beautiful skyscrapers and a very eclectic mixture of people. LA is the greatest place in the world and those that complain have either never set foot in it or are envious due to the lackluster city that they live in\!

Movies are filmed here. Amazing beaches. Great people. Immense culture. A city to make you proud to be an American.

Except New York City is terrible. Los Angeles is the greatest city ever. Best nightlife you'll find anywhere. Best beaches and best looking women.
