I forgot about the traffic. Yeah, that's another huge bonus. Stop and go gridlock and rude aggressive drivers. Yeah, you can get use to anything. How about painful hemorrhoids? You live with it, but is it enjoyable? Not really. Another treat for the Rural Coloradoan.
But yeah, the dude is in for rude awakening. He's going to see and experience things that he didn't in rural Colorado and it's not good things. Like Dorothy said when she landed in Oz, "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." |
I have lived almost 60 years here in the LA area, although the last 35 in a suburb. I work in LA, grew up in LA and I am among it's harshest critics. That said I have been to the bay area and it has horrible traffic, rude drivers and homeless people. AND everything costs way more than it does here. LA proper is over 500 square miles, it can give you any experience possible, pretty much impossible to describe accurately in any brief dialogue. The same could be said about the Bay Area. I know the NorCal/SoCal rivalry is alive and well, not necessarily a bad thing, but we all have to be honest in our criticisms.
There are good things here, awesome cultures everywhere, food, cars, people, music etc. I bet some might say the same about the city by the bay. Personally it is way too cold there for me, but I loved(Past Tense) riding my Ducati through Marin county, over to Sonoma, Napa, up to Mendocino. I also love that I can be in the desert in 2 hours from here, in the San Bernardino Mountains in 2 and 1/2, just not on Friday afternoon LOL.
Welcome to LA, hope you find a good life here!
