>There is a large encampment two blocks from our house. Multiple times, homessless folks have slept or showered in our driveway. I feel the same way about Los Angeles. What once was a funky chill city, has rapidly turned into a massive homeless encampment. When watching recent shows based in LA I've never seen a tent on the sidewalk. So you have a fantasy which gets broadcasted. You can either complain or leave. Since I've left LA every aspect of my life has been outrageously great. Had a girlfriend within a month , cut my living expenses by a 1/3rd. I haven't owned a car in years ! I think people get too attached to defending the idea of their hometown. I know the LA I loved is long gone. But life moves on, I had to estrange myself from much of my family to move, but frankly a life in LA isn't much of a life. I do enjoy reading these articles, no matter how liberal you are you get sick of homeless people commiting various crimes without consequences. You get sick of paying 10% in state income tax for practically nothing.

“Since I've left LA every aspect of my life has been outrageously great. Had a girlfriend within a month” I had no idea that women are more willing in other areas of the country. Good to know :)

  If you want to know how easy dating will be in a city, just checkout the gender ratios. LA has one of the worst for a straight guy. This means someone like myself would never find a partner. Imagine two cities 4000 miles apart. In PoorCity unemployment is 45%, and due to bizarre zoning laws a 1bdrm is 3800$. In GoodCity, unemployment is 3% and a 1bdrm is 1100$. Which city would you rather live in ? Where do you think life will be easier ? You can read a dozen books on finding a job, won't really help if your in PoorCity. Likewise dating books are essentially useless since I've never seen one address gender ratios. I've had no trouble outside of LA. In fact I dated a girl who took the initiative to introduce herself. She was beyond great! More than worth moving for ! Did I mention I really really hate driving ? I'm saving so much money now that I'm car free.
