I find it rather funny that people keep trashing LA just b/c of the stereotype that we're all actors who wait tables. That's really all it is. A stereotype. I've lived my entire life in CA and have never waited a table in my life nor had any desire to join the theatre. The cities I've lived in have included Los Angeles, San Diego, Compton, Long Beach, Bellflower, Downey, Riverside, and Brea.
What I like best about having lived in such different cities in CA is the fact that not one of these cities is anything like the other (well, except for Bellflower & Downey since they are literally right next to each other). The people vary from city to city. That's what I like in cities. I like diversity but I do understand that diversity is not for everyone.
I don't have any cities I hate simply because I have found both good and bad things about cities. Why waste my time hating a geographical location? There are both good and bad things about living in any cities. To each his own.
Why trash talk a city if you've never been there? It's fine if you've been there, experienced the culture, nightlife, etc. of the city but it's pretty stupid to hate any city just based on stereotypes you have based on watching TV.
