You have to live in LA to actually enjoy it. There's sightseeing and attractions of course but LA not the most tourist friendly city at all. Like NY most tourists will be in Manhattan and everything is close together with a great public transportation system to boot. In LA this popular attraction is way the fukk over here then the other places you want to see are way in the fukk over there. You'll need a car and traffic is a bytch. But when you actually live here then you find the nooks & crannies of the good hidden shyt. The bars, restaurants, nightspots, parties, beaches, hills, dimes, views etc. You can have a ball on some visiting shyt depending if you know some good people out here but if you come on some strictly sight seeing tourist shyt it might be good for you OR it might not be what you are expecting. It can go either way. And yeah LA is half amazing and half sh*thole. Its has the glitz, glamour, beaches, bad bytches, wealthy, palm trees, sunny weather, mountains, etc. but on the flipside you have the poor, sh*tty, homeless galore, blue collar, hood as f*ck, low lifes, bad areas, etc. Its literally everything you can think of. Low key that's what makes LA what it is
