LA is the worst city I’ve ever been to, it’s just endless miles of paradise paved over. It’s a city sacrificed to the automobile.
I tried taking the bus while I was there and it was almost funny how hostile the transit system is. One stop was literally in the middle of a freeway that was only accessable by taking a set of stairs off the overpass. The entire time you’re waiting for the bus you’re trapped in a concrete cave that amplifies the already loud freeway noise, it’s horrible
You know that trope of a little kid that follows a theme park mascot and then sees them take their helmet off to see it’s really some sweaty middle aged dude with a mustache in there? That’s what going to LA is like, all the romantic glitter and glamour of “Hollywood” dissolves and you just see this smoggy, dingy reality underneath it.
The first time my step dad saw the Hollywood walk of fame, he assumed he stumbled upon some cheap facsimile of it because the area just looked so tacky.
I’ve visited once and wasn’t there long enough to develop a sincere and true hate, but I was astonished by its geology and climate. While I was there I tried to contemplate what it was like before the settlers came. Just imagine standing at the tops of those hills with the basin stretching out beneath you. That scene is intoxicating to me even now, years later. And I know that same feeling is one of the reasons it’s not that way today.
But at least Houston it almost makes sense because it’s built on the surface of the sun, so I understand the desire to exist entirely within climate controlled pods.
Los Angeles has the best weather on the planet and should be a walkable paradise

You can put AC in Transit but also Houston was around before the car anyway
Los Angeles is the worst city built in the best location on earth. I hate it with a passion.
I’m not sure which I hate more, LA or Orlando, which is the worst city built in the worst location on earth.

I kind of laugh whenever I see tourists, feels like it must be a massive disappointment. Gonna hate the Olympics being here

Just a big pile of wasted names from La Ciudad de Nuestra Dama la Reina de Los Angeles to Rancho Cucamonga
I haven’t been to LA, but I hate SF for the same reason. Is LA even worse?
LA is carbrain made manifest, it’s up there with Houston with how hostile it is to just exist without a vehicle.
But at least Houston it almost makes sense because it’s built on the surface of the sun, so I understand the desire to exist entirely within climate controlled pods.

Certainly, just want to really extra condemn LA for having paradise and ruining it
