Overall

I've lived here for three miserable months and can't wait to get out. Sure the weather is enjoyable (if you forget about the fact that L.A. has the most polluted air of any city in America). For brevity's sake I'll whittle down this citiy's worthlessness to three points: 1) Lack of public transportation. The rail system is a joke and the buses are incredibly unorganized and unreliable. Absolutely pathetic for a city this large. You can't walk anywhere, both because of safety and how spread out everything is. You MUST have a car, and even if you do, it takes you forever to get anywhere. 2) Safety. Just glance at the L.A. Times' homicide blog if you want to know more. 3) The people are jerks. Angelenos make New Yorkers and Parisians look like Saints. Do yourself a favor and try New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, San Diego or Miami (or really anywhere else) instead.
