Having lived in LA for 12 years I can attest that, yes, it is a city and therefore has typical city problems. But however unnerving it generally feels to be enveloped in what feels like an inescapable expanse of concrete, atrocious air, and a sizable population that thinks celebrity and affluence are be-all/end-all, the city is not without its charms. It does in fact have a laid-back vibe as compare to every other major city I've known, the weather is nearly ideal, and the variety of life and culture available there is remarkable.
