LA metro and downtown in general is really gross. Whole place smells like p*ss. I was staying there for a concert a few months ago and I felt like I was living on skid row. I went after that super meth stuff came out though, I wonder what it was like before. I personally didn't see anyone doing drugs but the number of homeless people was astonishing. Not just normal homeless people either, most of them looked like they were on something/acting crazy. Was really disappointed that people were living like this in the richest country on earth. People like to crap on Chicago but the public transport is great comparatively. Still usable by the average person. Not sure why this is on hackernews though, not really related to tech is it?
