FYI; You are right. There are many great towns and cities in California but Los Angeles is the worst. It’s ugly sprawl with awful, shallow people. It is like a nuclear powered magnet for the most vapid ppl on earth, which isn’t surprising given half the ppl move there to try and get famous or because it’s warm and they are crazy, homeless drug addicts.As an non-American, I can see the worth in visiting certain places in California. I'd love to hit the different breweries up and down the coast, go fishing for humboldt squid, do wine country, that type of stuff. I can even see the appeal in checking out San Fransisco even if it is an expensive shithole that is filled with homeless, hipsters and failed beatniks as it is a scenic town.
But I dont see the worth in LA. People I have interacted online with from LA always come across as vapid and obnoxious assholes, every American online I've interacted with not from LA thinks LA is full of vapid and obnoxious assholes which leads me to believe it most likely is. Throw in the sprawl, the traffic, the air pollution and the earthquakes on top of all the vapid and obnoxious assholes and I'm of the opinion that jacking off with a fistful of bullet ants would be a more pleasant experience for me then visiting LA.
Hopefully someone pushes the Gunt into the La Brea tar pit so that future generations of scientists can get freaked out by the discovery of a new variety of human Homo Obesus Bibitor.
My last trip out to Palm Springs I ended up having to fly out of LAX and swore I would never set foot in it again.
Day of the Locust is a still a good synopsis of LA, but it is actually it is worse now that it was in West’s time.
