Los Angeles?
I love it here. One of the best places to live in the world.
Is it just me or does media seem to make out it's a really rough house place, I've never been obviously but I rarely hear it talked about positively. Thoughts?

Probably just movies and tv showing the worst places
There is a lot of bad places to be honest lol.. Tons of low income cities and gangster riddled towns, but Los Angeles is so damn big, you also got a ton of great little cities mixed in as well. Throw that in with perfect weather almost year round, beach, hot chicks, and great places to eat it's a place that would be hard for me to move from tbh..
IMHO LA is extremely good/bad. The nice parts are really nice if you can afford to live there. Houses in the good areas are ridiculous. A $100,000 house in a decent neighborhood here in SA would cost $1,000,000 in a decent area in LA. Great weather, good beaches, tons of stuff to do. The traffic is ing awful.
Nah, it's like that in real life, just like New York is constantly under alien invasions and attacks by supervillains.
At least they did the right thing and nuked Houston though.
It takes a while to get used to turning left on red. If you don't you will never get where you are going.
Skid Row is no joke, but as CC said there is good and bad.
LA people are rather kindhearted in general (you know i ain't referring to none of the immigrants living there)
I turn left on red here. It is legal. I learned this in drivers ed 17 years ago.
However, you may only turn left on red if you are on a one way street and turning onto a one way street.
I don't think what people are describing is solely an L.A. problem. Each and every major city has its gangs and blight. I think the fact that you have a diversity in which you cannot find in the majority of cities makes it worthwhile living in. You can go from one ethnic enclave to the next in a matter of minutes if not seconds. Furthermore, you can venture into the 'less-than-savory' places if you don't look like you're asking for trouble. Perhaps that is more or less the product of me growing up in the area but it isn't as bad as the media outside of the SoCal area makes it out to be.
I'm talking about two way traffic intersections. They typically don't have left turn lights like we do. They have left turn lanes but just the standard 3 light stop lights.
People turn left after the red light stops the oncoming traffic...maybe 2-3 at a time.
Put your foot on the gas when your light turns green and you are getting into a wreck with people turning left on red.
one time in grade school, i borrowed a nickle from this cholo and he told me that if i didnt pay him back a quarter he was going to kick my ass.....so it is really bad.
It's one of the most fun places to live imo.
I love LA, beautiful skies and women and good food and oxygen bars. Yes, it's rough and the bums are a huge problem...but that's kinda the charm - that you can experience the beautiful skies, women, food, and oxygen bars, and those in' bums have to sleep in the ATM lobby at the bank.
Went there once and disliked it; wouldn't go back. Certainly not to live.
This. You could never get me to go back to living in TX now.
and the city officials must be re ed to put traffic lights where they're never needed tbh
Population of LA is ing massive, it's like 50% of entire Aussie population which is hard to imagine
Go sc! But damn that neighborhood is ghetto.
So then it shouldn't be hard to imagine that there are good neighborhoods and bad ones. Just like almost everywhere else in the world.
Yeah, just don't go anywhere, just be stuck in San Antonio.
Nah, I like the northeast US.
Just don't care for LA based on having gone there.
Honestly, though, there's not much of America worth seeing multiple times. It's really about finding one place that isn't too goddamn expensive and has some decent facsimile of first nature that isn't too distant — that's where I'm comfortable settling.
Yea USC is in a hole. One part I never liked going through as a kid. I heard south central ain't as bad anymore tho, this true?
I grew up in Anaheim about 30 min away from downtown
