If you look up the term “infamous”, you’ll quickly see it’s not a positive one. Neither is urban sprawl. Factual terms can have positive, neutral or negative connotations. The ones used happen to be negative. If you are still in LA, try exploring more than your commute and routine life afford. You’ll be surprised. While not as much Victorian-era architecture has survived as in say San Francisco, there are many interesting pockets to see and neighborhoods to understand. Many generations of immigrants left their marks, with neighborhoods passing from one group to the next, yet their traces remain (such as ethnically specific churches/houses of worship or other long-lived institutions). And if it’s not for you in the end, that’s great too - not everyone enjoys every part of the world. Explore and find what you like best.
