I'll affirm and agree with the sibling comments here: I know lots of people who live in / spent time in LA and they report the same thing -- that lots of people there are just flakey on plans. I don't think the fact that lots of people do it makes it OK in any way whatsoever. If the culture is to be rude and flakey, you don't have to conform to that, and you don't have to accept that from others. I'm friends with some people in LA and we all know that flaking on plans is a no-no regardless of what city we're in / from.
