Los Angeles: best city in the USA

Why would anyone hate on Los Angeles or California?

We are number one!

>Port of Los Angeles is busiest in nation

>World leader for entertainment production including movies, tv shows, motion pictures, video games and music creation

>Best access to transit systems

>The highest rate of income growth in the country

>The biggest design industry workforce of any American city

>The most sports training facilities in the USA. Fuck fatties.

>Best Mediterranean weather

>Home of the richest companies in the USA like Northrop Grumman, Bank of America, 20th Century Fox, Guess, Tesla, Walt Disney Co, Facebook, etc.

>Successful people

>Weed

Yep that's right

>"Hurr durr too many shitskins"

Well, if you ain't poor and smart you don't have to deal with them

That's right
I live near Los Angeles and I have never been bothered by shatskins

>tfw rich engineer

>>Best access to transit systems
I'm not so sure. I live in Los Feliz and I work in Santa Monica. It's a 1 hour trip by car during rush hour, 2 hours by bus, and 2 hours by the Expo Line to Colorado Blvd.

Which makes me wonder what they were thinking. If the train along the I-10 corridor takes twice as long as driving, why the fuck did they build it?

I'm an advocate of public transportation, but I don't believe that the city and county is taking all important factors into consideration.

Kinda wish I could have lived in WASP Los Angeles back in the 19th century. Now it's spic-central. I love reading about old LA but now it's just trash.

Bump

LA is the epitome of urban sprawl and the traffic absolutely blows. Phoenix is much more /comfy; and has better weather. The only thing it lacks is a beach.

Liv3d in LA for 8 years , downtown, in eagle rock and in long beach . It has some of the best food in the world period and I miss.that... I worked in hollywood as a production assistant and rose up the ranks eventually to prop master.. I got to see every side of that city good and bad and it was a ride
>sped 4 hours total every day in traffic
That's 2 hours average each way, traffic is the worst and pollution is bad. I am no hippie earth saving faggot but the air quality is horrible and litteral.bum shit everywhere...
That being said I havnt been back in years and I can't wait to visit for a week and eat some
>taco trucks
>Korean bbq
>great sushi

Because everybody likes Choo Choo trains

yfw gentrifying

Homeless hep a and weaponized hiv. Whats not to love?

Bruh.... The fact that you love LA this much shows that you've never left the shit hole.

Los Angeles is the worst. Terrible traffic, unaffordable, shitty public transportation, hardly a white person in sight in most places, only thing people care about is your income/looks/status, and gentrification along with immigration is eating up every last bit of culture that used to exist from when it was majority white. It's a terrible place to live and an even worse place to raise a family. At least East Coast cities actually feel like "cities."

>(((Hollywood)))'s sexual predator industry and promotion of degeneracy
>Doesn't have enough water despite being next to the ocean
>Increasing non-White population
>Not enough rain, too many wildfires threatening your home investments

came back from the grove just now. you left out that los angeles literally has the most beautiful women per capita.

The terrible people that fill it

>Excited to one day visit Arizona bay!

A lot of streets are unwalkable
Bicycle unfriendly
Terrible and slow public transport
Constant smog
Le 56% epicentre

>degenerate ads and billboards everywhere

>You can't drive anywhere between 7am and 10am and 3:30pm and 7:00pm.
people here are pretty idiotic with their living choices in all fairness. you work in DTLA and choose to live in the Valley? guess what you're spending a lot of time in your car.

>parking is a hassle, meters, vouchers, garages, tickets
yeah whatever, it depends, but life is much easier with uber now, and transit is growing.

>lines at the grocery store
implying this isn't applicable in any major city

>people everywhere
implying this isn't applicable in any major city

>noise all the time
implying this isn't applicable in any major city

>no wild nature
you're kidding right?

>multicultural distrust
i'll give you that.

>status seeking sycophants fueled by celebrity culture
i'll also give you that, people are fucking horrible here

>housing is really expensive for what you get
also true...don't expect to own a house in/around LA city.

>helicopters flying overhead all the time
this bothers people?

>a wrong turn off the wrong freeway exit and you're Sherman McCoy
huh?

>Hard to find down home cooking
define "down home cooking"

>air quality sucks
somewhat true but not as bad as other places in CA

>degenerate ads and billboards everywhere
implying this isn't applicable in any major city

>de facto leftist haven
literally cannot feel the effect of leftists in this city unless i read LA Times comments sections. nobody on the streets or in real life cares about politics. everyone is too passe to get actively involved.


it's really not that bad a place to live. good and bad. people forget it's the 2nd largest city on the planet i think and expect some sort of suburban experience, but no matter where you go you're in the thick of it.

>Well, if you ain't poor and smart you don't have to deal with them
My grandmother lives in the nice part of Pasadena
Even it is full of trashry nouveau riche foreigners

Lived there 2 years, an absolute shit hole with the worse people than I could have ever imagined. Glad I got out. But hey, at least the weather's nice year round.
