Los Angeles Reviews
Rating 4.03 out of 5 1,791 reviews
I have lived in Los Angeles for 3 years now, and it has become home. Of course I love the weather, but what I like most about my life here is the people I have met and continue to meet. There is such a diverse range of people with endless intersections of identity, interests and goals. It's been a wonderful place to find and continuously grow a community. There is also abundant opportunities to get involved with different local communities and activities. Almost anything one would like to do is possible to make happen here!
Like any great city, LA does come with it's challenges. I would love to see some progress made in the on-going struggle for affordable housing and resources for the homeless and unsheltered, as well as those experiencing mental health issues, addiction and dependency disorders, and growing displacement due to gentrification and cost of living. These issues are present across most U.S. cities, but is a particularly heavy issue on the hearts of us Angelenos.

Less homelessness population, too many people living on the streets that need help and are on drugs or just not doing well. I think there needs to be more help for them and better and cleaner streets. Native people who were born and raised here end up leaving because of gentrification. Prices are high for rent, food, and basic necessities are high. They increased the prices on everything just because of the name "LA". It makes it hard for those underserved communities that don't have high-paying jobs to afford the necessities. We are barely making ends meet and it's not fair that these big companies or rental apartments are charging ridiculous amounts of money!
The amenities are tremendous. Traffic, smog and homelessness need to be corrected. Enjoy the fish fry at Redondo Beach. Do not forget to order the bread clam chowder! Cocktails at Tony's On the Pier are fantastic. Enjoy the beautiful sunsets after your cocktails. Check out the fantastic views at the Japanese restaurant in Hollywood called Yamashiro. After appetizers, travel down Highland and pick up the awesome chili cheese dogs at Pinks. After class at Cal State University Los Angeles, travel down to King Taco for tamales, tacos, burritos or their delicious rotisserie chicken. If you like to sing, there are a number of places you can go for karaoke in Culver City on and around Sepulveda Blvd. There is the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center. The Los Angeles Clippers are there also until their arena is built in Inglewood, California. Inglewood is adjacent to Los Angeles and hosts the Los
