What's interesting is the one of the more common criticisms of Los Angeles is that large swaths of the city feel foreign and are described in a way that usually carries a negative connotation. But when the question is asked with a positive connotation, as seen in this thread, that same place rarely gets offered.
And?
Something negative that is rightfully criticized doesn't just become a positive because of how a thread is worded on an internet forum page.
The large swaths of slummy areas in LA doesn't become any more desirable because it doesn't feel American.
You should have quoted your own posts in order to not make this sound so ironic. Spelling things correctly might help as well.
He writes after editing. And misusing the word "ironic". But just a tremendous post!
I’ll help you out. You’re trying to claim Los Angeles simultaneously feels like a foreign country AND feeling like it exists within the US. It doesn’t depend on how the question is framed, only what bias you are trying to justify. Next time, just ask for help.

I edited the post because I realized this forum has a PG language rule. I edited a part out because I knew it was going to make you cry and get me in trouble. It was quite predictable that you were going to use the editing part as an excuse so I did have to think about it a little though.
I don't even understand what the hell that last sentence was suppose to mean. Before making ironic posts about how others are "misusing" the word ironic, maybe you should learn a bit about how much space to put in between sentences. When you are not busy misspelling words you should have been taught in elementary school that is. Or after figuring out punctuation use.
Speaking of foreign countries, your display of English could very well have been excused if you actually were from a foreign country. But I'm pretty sure you are from around Los Angeles. So maybe that's where all this bitterness comes from.

Well, I'm happy that got you thinking. But mostly that you didn't make me cry or get yourself in trouble.
However, if I could pick anywhere in the US where people live, I would pick Little Diomede, AK. I've never been there obviously as it's one of the hardest places to get to but I can't imagine being any more different than the US while being in the US than there. It's on an island in the Bearing Straight about 2.5 miles from Russia, 1 mile from the international date line, no banks, and no grocery stores, and it's believed to be 3,000 years old. Oh, they also use a community "washeteria" that serves them with laundry machines and showers.
Basically, there is no city in the United States where the children of immigrants are not expected to learn English (if they don't know it already) and eventually assimilate with mainstream American society.

sort of sounds like the late owner of Genos in S Philly
That said America is a melting pot that blends new cultures, probably always will to an extent. That said Spanish is more common then ever though few especially second generation do not assimilate into English. We are lucky in a sense that we have the native world business language. Nearly all the Int'l corporate world does Int'l business in English unless the only participants are of some other primary language
