The first time I went to US I went to LA, seeing at all the drugged people on the ground in their tents, knowing if you take a 20 minute drive, there's people living in extreme luxury, excess and more money than my entire bloodline have ever seen, was perplexing to say the least, really matured my view of humans 

 

So in a way, yes :cm:

 

The weather, beach and food was good tho

The fact that you thought of that when there's places on earth where they kill you for being gay. :rip: 

 

I love LA, such a fun city, but I've only seen is as a tourist, I'm sure living there would be a different experience.

IT absolutely is, the most pointless and stupid place on earth, probably only challenged by Las Vegas or the state of Texas

LA is truly one of the worst big cities in the US. I have a hard time even calling it a city. Just a bunch of suburbs smashed together in a car-centric hell hole. :biblio: It has natural beauty around it, for sure, but the city itself is a mess.

I don't know, people wouldn't be flocking there if it was that bad. I feel like the US has some seriously underdeveloped dead areas that are far worse

 

Also your replies don't really match their energy, save it for the trolls. Comes across as try hard

It's kinda hell on earth if you're around people who care for the touristically optic LA. The city has beautiful areas and so many districts of Asian American and Latin culture. If you're going for what you see on social media it will be miserable, ultra crowded, and dirty. Overall though it has its odd charm.

lol at the moral grandstanding on a website that for over a decade has been used to talk **** about pop stars but i'm a bad person for defending myself against people telling me i should "go back to where im from" for calling LA boring.

 

Thank you though, I think I will stay a bit longer!

Highly recommend New York! Each neighborhood is distinctively beautiful, so easy to commute, fast paced city that is truly always alive and the least judgmental city I've come across that has room for everyone. Be prepare to make decent money though or you'll have to share a shoebox with 5 people in a 5 story walk up

I don't think you're a bad person. I just don't know if those comments are helpful, good luck though!

It seems like you don't know much about the world if you think LA is the worst place on Earth :coffee:

 

But I agree. It seems like a very artificial and self absorbed place to live. 

Why is this taking me out :bibliahh:

Car centric cities are shite yeah. A completely siloed existence for anyone that doesn't want to be forced to own a car but has no other options available. It's why I could never live in LA (or most of North America ftm) but I'll still visit as a tourist at some point just to say I've been there. I'm moving to New York next year and I'm excited but the genuine fear I've gotten from transplants that think I'll get robbed or killed. :rip: Idgaf I'm ready for the change of pace

You won't. If you navigate like you know what you're doing you won't be messed with, they tend to target tourists and the unassuming. Even the subways are full of people at all hours of the night I would reccomend living as close to a station as possible. Excited for you!

Out of the major cities in the world, LA is the worst I have been to.  It has all the charm and culture of an American suburb.  It is certainly not on par with Chicago, New York, Mexico City, etc.  

 

Is it the worst place though?  Not really.  It just is a place that has squandered all of its potential in a truly tragic way.

I'm 99% sure that you are more likely to be killed by a car in a car centric suburb than get robbed or killed in New York.   I think people are really bad at understanding statistics and they hear something like "a murder happened in Queens" and get scared and don't understand how there are 10 million people in the city.

I love Los Angeles. It gets a reputation for being "fake" but that's only for a few places in the Westside, most people I met while I still lived in the city were very warm and friendly. I also just love the sheer diversity of the city.

 

I also think that LA's public transportation gets too much hate. Yes, it needs work and is far inferior to NYC's, but you can still get from place to place without a car, especially if you live next to one of the major rail lines like the Expo.
