Whether for better or worse I have lived many places in the United States. I am always interested in what makes a place "great" for those that live their or have just visited the place.
Granted to there are many drawbacks one of my favorite American cities: traffic, occasional air quality, taxes, cost of owning a home. But for an interesting lace to live (I am not so sure as a place to visit) Los Angeles offers me the interesting environment. Frequently, when learning I am from L.A., don't you miss the weather, sometimes I am truthful, and say what I really miss about L.A. are the people.
Far from the "layed back" complacent place that East Coast folks have loved to look down their noses at as they try to cope with visiting the city. Angelenos are a hard working, industrious folk although it is true they are less full of themselves and more open to new ideas and different experiences than their peers in some other American cities.
But what I like best about L.A. is the incredible variety of experience that the city offers. Whether it is the wide variety of ethnic neighborhoods that make up the city, or the range of locals (beaches to snow covered mountains in Winter), or the fine cuisine of some of the best restaurants in the country to faire on offer from the food trucks and mom and pop cafes. No other city comes close, except for NYC.
