As cliche as it sounds, Los Angeles has the best weather. Mountains, beaches, cities, suburbs, gardens, and the list goes on. My favorite thing about Los Angeles is how diverse it is!
Los Angeles is definitely not the cleanest city considering how populated it is with residents and tourists. I personally have traveled to many places and Los Angeles is cleaner than the rest!
The cost of living has gone up but so has the minimum wage which I believe is one of the many reasons why more people have been moving here.
Commuting by car is not easy due to so many new forms of transportation causing more traffic in the streets and freeways. Train routes are constantly getting expanded and one can travel from the busy downtown Los Angeles to Santa Monica beach in a breezy 20 minutes when riding the Expo Line.
I can go on and on about why I believe Los Angeles is the best city and guarantee anyone will have a good experience!

As a Southern California girl born and raised I do have a slight biased towards loving Los Angeles. Still, every city has pros and cons and LA is not excluded. To start, the public school system is a bit of a joke and there is a very widely accepted notion that if you can afford to not send your kids to LAUSD, don't! On that sour note, general safety is questionable depending on which area of LA you're in.
Switching gears to LA's well-deserved praise starts with the incredible diversity--diversity in people, sub-sets of the city, cuisines, cultures, art, architecture! It creates in incredible ambiance that cannot be described via words alone. Lastly, and arguably one of LA biggest perks is its healthy-lifestlye promoting restaurants, gyms, and wellness centers that are found in just about every part of the city.

Los Angeles is a beautiful place to call home. We are surrounded by the natural elements, from the mountains to the sea. We have a fabulous diversity of people from around the world. Inspiring art scene. Amazing food. Fun night life. Top notch shopping. Hikes that are easy to access. World class beaches... My only complaint is with the major issue of traffic - too many cars on the road! And I would also have to mention the smog - air quality is always of concern to me. Otherwise, life is good here in LA! Real estate and rents are high so you have to be making some money to live comfortably here.
