Los Angeles is one of the most beautiful diverse cities in the world which is why it among the top three tourist destinations in the country. In addition to there being endless activities for all personality types, LA affords an abundance of opportunities for anyone seeking to become more adept in virtually any area of their lives; from receiving an education at some of the worlds top universities to becoming a movie star! Since it is such a popular city there will oftentimes be traffic galore, but spending a few extra minutes in transit is worth seeing and experiencing everything the city has to offer.
I think the city is incredibly beautiful, but also suffers from a display of the greatest wealth disparity I've ever seen. The sunshine and palm trees are amazing but they do not hide the fact that there is immensely large population of homeless people on the streets. It almost is as if because there is no pedestrian culture, people are okay with the fact that there are thousands of people living on the sidewalks, under neath the bridges, in doorways of storefronts and even the beach. I love the city but that aspect of it puts a huge damper on living there, because there is huge population of people that no one cares about and does little to fix. I would love to see a massive change in the way, providing more housing and resources for that does not include just giving them a tent and calling it a day!
What I like about Los Angeles are:
1. The weather is the best. You won't see any rainy days if you plan to visit Los Angeles for 2-3 weeks or even a month! Since I moved to LA three years ago, I only used my umbrella twice. This is awesome if you are not a fan of moisture and humidity. Also, the temperature in the winter is very moderate and comfortable. You won't need Ugg boots and down jacket in this city.
2. Diversity is also one of the best values in this city. This is the only place where you can find Korean BBQ meat is wrapped by Mexican tacos shell! Since numerous ethnic groups co-live in this city, inter-racial interaction is very common in any situations and no one feels stranger here. If you want to go to school or get a job, LA is one of the best cities in terms of diversity and fairness.
