If L.A. is "fake" then what cities are "real"? (Los Angeles: places to live, cost)

They're just as arrogant & ignorant like the rest of the country & overseas to believe in this climate/geographic elitism. How they're so intelligent to live in this 24/7 tropical paradise to be flawed. Especially a person like myself to depart from SoCal when I entered in the USAF. So I can travel & see the country & globe to observe various cultural & philosophical perspectives. Whether or not, I disagree with them. Overall it helped me really broaden my horizon & wisdom. However, my family & other people in SoCal tried to convince me not to leave b/c there is no place like it & the rest of the planet is crap compared to SoCal. It maybe partially true, but mostly it is false.

You would have to be a friggin idiot to live here and thinks it's tropical. NOBODY here thinks that.

You have never even visitd here, but your long-distance trolling is flattering. LA is your "girlfriend" who moved to Canada.

Flattering, but really, really sad.

That one (the Lucifer character) also writes as if English isn't its mother tongue.

Okay Moderator cut: see note,

Guess you didn't travel too much. How sad.

You sound silly, those are 3 of the most urban, vibrant, walkable, and structurally dense cities in the country. LA is like a small country, too massive to even determine when the limits end because much of it looks the same. Which is why most people from the East don't see it as a "real city" where people walk to the corner store and hop on the train before going to work. It's like going to Disney World or something. Plus it doesn't even have 4 seasons!

Oh wow,

You finally realized that LA is NOT so tropical 24/7. Okay LBC clown. Guess you didn't reply to my other blog comments. Please go read my multiple comments on this thread for you to know that I was originally from LA. It's aloof pompous like you that never left anywhere & how CA is so dysfunctional aka land of flakes.

shocker:
folks from other cities decide to pop into the LA forum with the express intent of putting those horribly "shallow" and "vapid" angelenos in their "rightful" place. seems like one of the favorite pastimes on CD.

i don't know whether this is comical or pathetic; perhaps a bit of both.

while a few people here have made some interesting points, threads like this unfortunately tend to attract the LA hating trolls like flies to a steaming pile of dung.

I would comment in this thread, but I'm too busy being fake. I think I'll make a date with this thread and flake on it later. Toodles!
