L.A. County is huge. Ventura,Santa Monica,Venice beach,Hollywood etc. but generally L.A. Is terrible,dirty,ghetto and just unpleasant AF. I noticed when I came back from being gone for 2 months. I was like wow there's a lot of smog and more people were speaking Spanish in the van nuys fly away as the entirety of Puerto Rico it seemed. Especially east L.A. Or South . I've gone to L.A. So many times I can't count but yeah it's shitty. Never been to New York but that sounds shitty too (with exceptions as in L.A.)

I have only been to Chicago, Milwaukee, Greenbay, St. Louis, Memphis, Jackson, Dallas, Houston, Tulsa etc
The most terrifying was St. Louis right around the ferguson shit. Our greyhound bus got surrounded by gang bangers waiting for us to get off. They were shaking the bus, hitting it, throwing rocks at it. It took the police forever to get there and actually do something about it. I won't ever go back to Stl for any reason I will fly from here to Tulsa then bus the rest the way to Mcallen Texas the next time I get a call to come down.

St. Louis and Oklahoma City are both pretty rough

Shroomism said: EVERYWHERE in LA is a piece of shit? Where did you go in LA? You know LA is fucking massive right? 503 square miles. There's like 300 different areas/neighborhoods. I doubt you've been everywhere. Been living in the area for 8 years and I haven't even seen half of it. IMO the west side is the best. Venice/SM that area is pretty nice. Pasadena area is really nice. St Feliz is cool. Silver Lake is cool. Where were you.. Eastside? Skid Row? I like LA. Some areas suck yeah... some areas are really chill and nice.. it depends where you are. It's a fucking HUGE and DIVERSE area.
It's like ANY major city. There's good areas and bad areas. The only difference is LA is like 20x more area than your average city. You can fit like 8 major cities INSIDE of LA - and that's only counting LA city, not all the surrounding areas which are also considered "part of LA".. like Long Beach, South Central etc.. that would add a few more cities.
But yeah I live in OC now.. I prefer it.. less traffic (relatively), nicer roads.. cleaner.. more parks etc. But LA has WAY fucking more culture.
I'm talking about the ENTIRE county of LA dude!!! The entire county is laid out like a grid. Constantly congested, nothing but sidewalks and homes, no green patches of scenery. The places you mention are only SLIGHTLY nicer than the ghetto areas. I live in North Hollywood.

haha.
But no seriously... if you hate it so much..... move? I'm not fond of North Hollywood either.
I'll have to thoroughly disagree with you though on Venice/SM/Pasadena/Silver Lake etc being "just slightly nicer" than the ghetto areas.
Having lived in lets see... Glendale, Hollywood hills, Santa Monica, Venice, Lakewood, Long beach, Pasadena and then Costa Mesa.. Venice beach/Marina Del Rey/Santa Monica and downtown LA/ Skid Row might as well be different planets And Pasadena is a super nice area and dope as fuck I don't care what anyone says.
And I'm not sure what you mean about no parks. There's parks all over the place, tons of trails if you go up into the hills. Not too sure about North Hollywood as I never go to the valley. Down here in OC there's MUCH more greenery. But I know for sure of a bunch of pretty cool parks in LA. Here's 21 of them. There's probably hundreds.

All the parks in LA REQUIRE at least a 20 minute drive to get to and then once you get there there's no parking. The entire county is built on a grid. If uou get a piece of grid paper, that's fucking LA. The only fucking green I see in LA is on peoples' front lawns.
There's tons more parks in San Diego and even more parking.

Virtually all metro cities are on a grid. Philadelphia, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, they're all grids.
If you are a pedestrian, it makes sense to live in a grid doesn't it. You know exactly which direction to go based on whether you're on 1st street or 30th street.
Grids make sense.

Grids also create tons of traffic. Take a look at a map of San Diego. It's not a grid. There's curves in the streets.

I'm trying to make my way down to San Diego but you know there's these things called bills that you have to work constantly for that keeps you from doing shit with your life.

IDK know, great cities attract a lot of dick heads. IDK know this for a fact but I think the cities with the great weather attract even more dickheads. Not that NYC, Boston, Philly, Chicago don't have their share of dickheads, but everyone wants to move to the West prestiege cities since about 1973. I don't really know how many people who moved to the West Coast are actually dickheads, but I know it's the place to go for about 35 years. I hate to keep quoting Don Henley in Hotel California, cause I only partially like it, but I can't let go of that line, " Call someplace paradise, kiss it goodbye".
