Beverly Hills looks solidly middle class in my opinion. Potomac, MD and Bethesda, MD look. WAAAY better than Beverly Hills. What's the hype over Beverly Hills? It looks like any suburban neighborhood in the United States except with palm trees. There aren't any futuristic buildings, and on top of that they have neighborhoods and streets that look run down too. Californians may be upset when I say this but Los Angeles looks like a developing nation. You have an epicenter of a rich area, say encino or burbank (which actually look middle class comparing it to other cities), and all around the rich cities are dirt roads, shanti towns, and vacant businesses. LA's dirt roads are those alleys with trash everywhere (I've seen some in beverly hills), LA's shanti towns are those one level condos that have gates as garages that you find in Africa, and LA's vacant businesses are vacant businesses, which you find everywhere.

Where are there run down streets in Beverly Hills? Serious question. Encino or Burbank are "rich areas" now? Did you just hang out in the Valley? I mean, there are def poor parts of LA, but you seem like you don't know very much if you think that Beverly Hills...like the actual hills above DT Beverly Hills look anything close to Maryland. Does Maryland have anything that look like Palisades, or Santa Moncia, or Manhattan Beach? Or maybe your just a troll. i don't really know.

The answer is no. There is nothing in Maryland that looks like Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Palisades or Manhattan Beach. He has no idea what he's talking about.

I'm speaking from an economic development point of view. I think that Chevy Chase, Maryland looks more economically developed than Beverly Hills, CA. They're both very nice areas. I exaggerated before when I said Beverly Hills looks solidly middle class, in reality it looks middle to upper middle class, with spots of multi million dollar buildings/homes. Los Angeles is the best place in the world but as a whole it doesn't look as developed as other comparable cities in the United States. There are too many poor neighborhoods and too many vacant businesses.

The better houses in BH cannot be seen from the street.

every large city on earth have depressed areas. NYC, CHI, DC, Miami...Not sure how you could argue that any of those cities as a whole are any different. Difference is that cities that have centrally located business districts do a better job at aggregating the nicest parts. I'm sorry but you don't sound very traveled.

I beg to disagree. Los Angeles is poorer (dsitribution of wealth per capita) and has greater income inequality than its comparable cities nyc, london, tokyo, and this is seen through looking at the ciry in street view. Im pretty well travelled, I've been to madrid, lisbon, seville, accra (ghana), monrovia (liberia), all over the united states plus more; that is why I can make these claims. You proved it yourswlf that Los Angeles has 27% of people in poverty and you can see that while walking around, sorry that ithe ruggedness seeps through in beverly hills, encino, burbank, and orange county hahaha.
