LA...not real.

pros:
Venice Beach and Santa Monica
CONS:
Fakeness, crime, traffic,
LA is completely fake. This city doesn't have it's own personality, and just mirrors itself from other cities. Let's not forget... LA is gang central.. so safety is a major concern. Hollywood is some run-down slum, just like most of LA. The people in Beverly Hills are insensitive and narrow-minded, and if your not local... you get criticized and stared at in a bad way. LA is for barbi-doll type chicks, half of who had plastic surgery by age 14, and skaters. The city is filled with wannabee actors, actresses, rappers, singers and thats it. No one with persoanlity or intellegence. LA Traffic is the worst among every city. It's like a parking lot on the road. Disneyland? Are you kidding me? My college campus is bigger than this. The rides are terrible, so are the rides and the cost of food, tickets etc. The OC... a bunch of boring, rich beach-front communities, usually populated by the older crowd. Venice and Santa Monica are pretty nice, with a lot to do. San diego is pretty cool too, except the surroundind suburban communities are all full of the rich. It seems like if your a down-to-earth kind of person, you won't fit in So. Cal. Unless you have a big ego and are stuck up, and cockey, you'll stick out like you would not believe. Other than the areas I mentioned.. everything else is a big ghetto. Watts, Compton, Inglewood, Santa Ana, Los Angeles, Santa Monica (After Dark), Hollywood, Long Beach, East Los Angeles, among other areas are unsafe. The public transportation system is horrible too, you need a car.

I like the city of Los Angeles,California,because it`s a very nice place to have fun,look around the city,find some new people and friends,take a picture of the big city,and go where ever you want to.Also,there`s a new town between the city of Los Angeles:Orange County.However,this town is filled with lots of people.Cars,houses,pools and even playgrounds.
