That was part of my point. But I do recognize that CA is not for everyone. You actually have to have an open mind to live here
Ok, I kid, I kid. But like NYC, not everyone is equipped or inclined to live in LA. It is rather unique as large world cities go, and if you don't have the stomach or personality type for it, then it can be miserable. No value judgement there...people are different.
That said I don't think I could live in a small town. While I appreciate the beauty and relative calm of certain areas, I go stir crazy pretty quickly. But I'm born and bred SoCal so being in a cultural stew is natural for me.
One place or preference isn't better or worse than the other. I understand why people don't like LA, just like they might understand why I don't care for most any place outside of CA. But I do think that LA gets a lot of undeserved black eyes from people who really don't know the place.
Oh wait, I forgot. Yes...this place is a PIT. Earthquakes every day! Illegals raping and pillaging. Heathens and gun control. Did I mention earthquakes?
