Most Segregated Cities In America - Business Insider

4. New York
7. Chicago
16. Philadelphia

I like how she calls everyone here ignorant, yet seemed to know next to nothing about LA and didn't even even bother to visit before moving in. Did she leave? I hope so.

God forbid some Angelenos love the hell out of their city and would never dream of living anywhere else. How dare they! They need to escape their bubbles and follow Random Internet Guy to greener pastures.

Guess you didn't like the truth? FYI, can you please link me to your research on the MOST SEGREGATED CITIES IN AMERICA - BUSINESS INSIDER. There is something wrong to click on it? I would like to read it in order to find out to be your solid evidence on those 3 cities. I've been to all 3 cities & I didn't have any racial problems, but in LA I did & no I'm not white.

Guess the truth hurts about the realities of LA to be in some sort of a bubble? Can you please relink me on your research? MOST SEGREGATED CITIES IN AMERICA - BUSINESS INSIDER. If you were able to provide some solid evidence? I tried to click on it, but it won't allow me to connect. I've been to all 3 cities & I didn't have any racial problems, but I did have some problems in LA & no I'm not white. Yes, many major cities have rich vs. poor gap, but in LA & other unfortunate nice tropical cities have too much of it. Too much fun under the sun can make you complacent.

Link works just fine.

California, and Los Angeles in particular cater to the illegal population.
Politician know it is only a matter of time when they will be the major voting block, and for that, they bend over backwards to do all they can to garner their votes.
It's as simple as that.
For any one who doesn't think the Hispanic population in California is taking over, just look around and see what race of people are gaining in numbers to elected positions.
Los Angeles is still a great place for many, and their are opportunities if you seek them out.
If you are making a move here without some extended education, or employment credentials, you are in for a very rude awakening.
Fortunately for me, I made "my way" long before demographics had such a stronghold on this city.
I availed myself of the opportunities presented, without fear or concern that some illegal would step in and offer her, or himself as my replacement.
Bob.

I always find it funny and ironic when a dominant culture complain about a race taking over. LA is getting even more amazing with the new metro lines being built. Can't wait!

Finally, I was able to click on your link about the MOST SEGREGATED CITIES IN AMERICA - BUSINESS INSIDER. Don't forget, LA is ranked as 24th along with the other top 25 US major cities. Whoopy do again, all 3 cities are ranked above LA as the MOST SEGREGATED CITIES. Have you seen all of the diverse demographic colors in NYC, CHI, & Philly? They're very beautiful!

Since all 3 major cities are built in the center & have very EFFICIENT mass transit systems than LA.

YES, I've experienced folks in LA to flake out b/c of its mass suburban sprawl in order to commute by vehicle to be a nightmare drama. Trust me, it wasn't too fun! When you plan the time & money to expect the people, who you are friends with to get together & hang out. Unfortunately, many Angelenos are stuck in the past such as their high school days. How sad that they didn't seem to mature & go forward such as their career professions, travel around the world, or just to have a mindful wisdom of life. I forgot again, Angelenos don't seem to discuss & interact about constructive intellectual, philosophical, politically incorrect, or reality subjects on this planet. Furthermore I realized that LA folks are "LAID-BACK" aka "DON'T CARE" or "NOT TO HURT ANYONE'S FEELINGS." This is where I can understand about this female blogger's disappointment in LA. LA has a lot of soul searching to do b/c of the artificial & shallow culture it brings out. WAKE UP LA!

Sorry nobody wanted to hang out with you... You seem like just such a fantastic isn't person to hang out with.

I think the reason they flaked out on you is because you're an annoying whiner, not because of transit issues.

Yeah, thanks for proving our point. We ranked at the bottom of the most segregated cities. Can you comprehend what the list is? 24 cities ranked ahead of LA for how segregated they were.

Well thank you very much! Why should I hang out with you too? Sorry, but I'm not gay & I hang out with people to have depth, intelligence, & wisdom in their lives. An example is a person, who traveled around the country & world other than LA & its HW culture (LV included) to be superficial.
