Pavement Princess Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 (edited) 3xcuse the candidness but I am a bottle of wine in and would like to let something off my chest. After having lived in Chicago, San Francisco, NYC, and now LA I have felt the most unenthused and most disappointed by Los Angeles! Everyone here is self absorbed, lacking substance, and dangerously uninteresting. Everything closes early and so spread out. And yet this city is occupied by midwestern transplants who seem to defend the taste of vanilla with their life! I made a silly TikTok tonight criticizing the Los Angeles Sunday night and was met with hostility. Please let me know if I am simply in the wrong or if LA deserves her flowers.

Aston Martin Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I've never been there so I can't comment one way or another but the back and forth in your TikTok comments has me screaming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatyPrismSpirit Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 your responses to those tiktok comments Honestly, I wouldn't know. I've never been to the US, let alone LA. I actually always thought LA was the most exciting place on earth, where everything of importance seems to happen… but many people who actually live there tell similar stories to yours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brraap Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 On earth, no. Examples : Congo, Gaza In America? most likely. Every influencer that talks about it says it's like a soul sucking void where everyone is so low vibrational 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attitude Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Depends what part of LA. I could never live there due to the traffic. Anyways... San Diego>>>>>LA I hate that it's being overran by San Francisco and LA transplants who wrecked their own city and now want to wreck ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Life Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 (edited) As an LA native I can tell you with certainty that the transplants that complain about people being, narcissistic and fake are almost always talking about themselves. Like attracts like. They say the city is full of fake people but I literally grew up there and practically never had to deal with them so what is the truth.gif The city does have a heap of problems though. It's an unwalkable hellscape with abysmal traffic, an ugly layout, constant fires, impossible real-estate prices, a homeless population that's reaching critical mass and a government that seems perfectly content to sit and collect endless funding that mysteriously evaporates right before any improvements can be made. I left for alot of reasons, but the people weren't one of them. Edited September 23 by Pop Life 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexrex Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 (edited) It seems like you don't know much about the world if you think LA is the worst place on Earth But I agree. It seems like a very artificial and self absorbed place to live. Edited September 23 by alexrex 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feanor Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I visited for a week a few years ago and absolutely hated it outside of a (very) few highlights. It's one of my least favs out of all the big metropolitan cities I've been to over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermouth Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 (edited) Look LA has its issues like all cities do. It's unwalkable, the traffic, the lack of public transport. But worst place on Earth? Compared to say Caracas or Kabul? I think not. Oh and the weather: Coastal LA has one of the most pleasant climates on earth. If you've lived in Northern Europe Nov- March in the wet, cold, and dark ( do you guys realise how f****** dark it is in December?) you appreciate that a lot.

Khal Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 The people certainly are up there as the most hideous (not physically), slimy people to ever exist. Never met a city where everyone felt like a grifter and was like LinkedIn coming to life- you're only as valuable as your status/how much you earn. The views are pretty though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolce Vita Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 (edited) you whacking the people in the comments but yeah la can be rotted; depending on where you live it's cool but often times you're surrounded by extremely jaded, unhappy individuals. i go back and forth for family/work related things and i'm very glad i don't live there permanently anymore Edited September 23 by Dolce Vita 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrier Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 It was definitely by far the worst place I travelled to in the US, the endless highways and traffic omg its like nothing Ive ever seenAnd I come from a car oriented country Unless you're there for work I feel like its crazy to live there 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
