This is patently false:


You sound like a troll.

I agree! What kind of New Yorker complains about that? If you can survive in NYC then you can definitely survive in LA and not have those things bother you to start a thread about it. What part of New York City is this weakling from? Probably from upstate New York but trying to claim NYC.

This thread makes no sense whatsoever.

I am confused!

What is this thread about?

Some 14-year old had too much time in the departure lounge.

One of the best posts ever!!!!

Levels of pollution are higher in the hills actually, so those who live in the hills will have their health/looks destroyed faster.

ps: I have to say that there's plenty of this attitude everywhere in LA, including from physicians. I came to a big name physician in Bev Hills for a small procedure I have to have done once in a while after a car accident... as soon as he figured out the sales pitch for expensive stupid surgeries I don't need doesn't work for me, he loses interest immediately and basically doesn't even want to talk anymore--for the same money as I paid for his service in LA/beverly hills, I had *much* more extensive consultation in San Francisco, and much warmer attitude. Couldn't even get a glass of clean, bottled or filtered water in his expensive Beverly Hills office--only tap water! While was offered great selection of organic teas in SF surgeon's office.

The same with gyms--in SF, I got so much attentive, helpful service from 24 hour fitness trainers, all for free. In LA, 24 fitness is a major DUMP with a**hole trainers, in every location, pretty much. Rude employees that are only interested in selling expensive services. All of this is due to over-crowdedness of the city... Or, say, if you get lost in LA and ask for help at gas station--people try to sell you the map--in other places, people will often offer to take a look at the map or atlas for free to help you.

When I lived in LA, I tried to stick inside my immigrant community when it came to many things (except partying)--this had shielded me from the coldness of this city, to a degree.... but even my community was very much affected by these attitudes.
