I think part of the attraction of LA is that you can have a wide variety of buildings within a small place. It's a lot of nodes, that rise and lessen in density

I think part of the attraction of LA is that you can have a wide variety of buildings within a small place. It's a lot of nodes, that rise and lessen in density. If you stay off the freeways, you can see a lot (I've only taken them to get out of the city). It's a young city still trying to figure itself out, kind of like the teenager that will dye their hair a different color every month. There's a lot of ugly shit, a lot of beautiful shit, and lot that varies between those two spectrums. Probably one thing no one told you about is the nature - lots of slightly tamed parks and mountains to hike in as well as fun on the water, if that's your thing.
