Lol!! Personally, I think San Diego skyline by far is much prettier particularly during the summer than both LA & SF. Also, Long Beach & San Jose skylines are really nice too in the summer.
It's really not so much of the "Skyscrapers" but the overall view of the city, particularly in Long Beach because of the beach. Funny thing, I had a few friends come visit me from overseas a few years back (was their first time in Cali) and didn't care too much for LA (said it was too much of a cluster, which it is). But they really liked Long Beach, San Diego and the Ventura County/Santa Barbra areas.
l.a. has a small skyline. when i think of a california skyline i think of san francisco first. and i have seen stockton,l.a. ,riverside,san bernardino,oakland and sacramento but frisco is the best california skyline.
The Skid Row is only a few blocks away from downtown LA, and the Skid Row is where most of LA's homeless people and criminals hang around. It is one of LA's roughest regions. But a few miles north of the Skid Row is LA's financial district/Bunker hill, and that place is where most wealthy people work. Businesses such as the Gas Company and Deliotte & Touche are expensive workplaces in Downtown LA. However, the Skid Row and the Financial District are only a few blocks apart despite these factors.
Torrance, which is a western suburb city of Los Angeles...is home to one of California's largest shopping malls. It's called the Del Amo mall. It's a very large mall/shopping center which consists of accessory shops, restaurants, music stores, and microshops both indoors and outdoors. It's also one of the fewest malls in the US that has indoor and outdoor shops. This immense shopping mall is situated 10-1 miles south of LAX.
There is a really weird-looking building in downtown Los Angeles. It's called the Westin Bonaventure Hotel. It's a 35-story commercial hotel building which consists of a drinking bar, a restaurant, and a revolving observation deck on its 35th floor. Probably one of the most unique constructions I ever saw, especially in Los Angeles. The Bonaventure is the largest hotel in California and is just across the street from the Bank of America Plaza as far as I can remember.
The Gas Company Tower is the 4th tallest building in LA. At first I thought it was Southern California's Electrical Corporation, but it's actually a SoCal's Gas and fuel corporation. I also thought the Wells Fargo Center was the 4th tallest. Bank of America and 777 Tower are taller than the Wells Fargo as well, although they look smaller. Wells Fargo Center looks taller thann 777 Tower, Bank of America, and the Gas Company because it's probably built on a higher elevation.
777 is smaller than BOA. Wells Fargo is in a high elevation- Indeed.
Wells Fargo is quite a beautiful building. Placed in a great spot. I found out that every LA buildings are shiny, and colorful. Even MORE impressive, it is one of the most colorful in US. LA isn't colorful because of junk lights. Look... the glass... and... those signs! About 90% of the LA highrises have colors. Sucks, Wells Fargo isn't visible at night.
Wells Fargo looks a lot larger if your in front of it prob because of the high surroundings and its so skinny.
Bank Of America is a tough one. It is placed diagonally, and fat, with no surroundings.
The 777 Tower have a low surrounding, and larger.
If you compare Gas Company Tower to California Plaza(Nearly the same height), Gas Company is a lot lower than California Plaza. I went to Downtown, and I can even see a far view in the streets of California Plaza. But no view from GCT.
It's been 14 years since I went to the beach with my relatives. But 11 years since my mom tooke me to the beach for the last time before I moved to the Bay Area. But luckily, my parents will send me to the Los Angeles area. Many of my cousins and relatives live down in Southern California, and for the first time in 14 years, I'll be partying at the beach again with them! That's gonna be a huge comeback! Hermosa Beach, Newport Beach, and Long Beach are also great beaches down in LA and the OC.
Another thing I like about LA are the beaches in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas. My mom used to take me down to Huntington Beach every summer back when I was a little kid. I've haven't been to the beach for 11 years, and that's awhile. I also remember one time when I went to Huntington Beach with my relatives. We partied till almost midnight, played volleyball, and had great seafood dinner! It was so fun and I never had a chance to do so.
In fact, some rock bands all around the US, Canada, and some international countries have moved to Los Angeles to pursue in their musical career. Even UCLA has admitted students who major in music, film, and televisions. Many of those film and animation classes at UCLA prepare students for a future career in films and music in Hollywood 'cause that's where most of our movies we watch and music we listen to come from. Truly, Los Angeles is America's headquarters for music and entertainment!
Music, especially rock music is very successful in Los Angeles. Rock bands such as Linkin Park, Maroon 5, Metallica, Lifehouse, Velvet Revolver, The Offspring, Fort Minor, Incubus, and those bands all formed in Los Angeles. Los Angeles is home to over hundreds and hundreds of bands/artists. Capitol Records and Hollywood are also evidences that music and entertainment are very popular in Los Angeles. The Ocean Way Recording Studios and Lavish Studios are among the most popular recording studios.
Century City is located in the West side of Los Angeles. Next to Westwood on the west. Southwest of Rancho Park. Cheviot Hills and Beverlywood on the southeast, and northeast of Beverly Hills.
So what do you think?
Oakland and Century City are somewhat alike.
Century City is about 5 minutes away from Los Angeles, and Downtown Oakland is about 5 minutes away from San Francisco, which you need to cross the two Bay Bridges.
I really love the bridges. It is totally an another world from Los Angeles.
Bay Bridge, Fogs, and there are tall buildings in every block(Not that tall)
But the foods and things are worse and more expensive like San Diego.
LA is still a great place to live.
More cities are closer, and foods are better, also, things are cheap. You shouldn't really say that gas is expensive since we can travel anywhere in less than 10 hours.
LA and SF are very, very different in many ways, and not because of palm trees which SF does have. They are different in industry and type of business that thrives in each city, landscape, style of cuisine, attitudes, style of clothes, car culture, politics, local food, architecture, weather, air quality, etc.
wow i SO wanna go to LA now lol (obivously i would like to visit the other places but my friend lives in LA) san diego looks really nice!!!! is it a good place to go? also san francisco i never knew was so built up it looks really crowded and being from england i love seeing the skyscrapers/high rise cos we dont have much.... and it looks amazing!!! :) thanks for making this!!!
San Francisco is organized, but looks more messy from the air. Los Angeles looks messy only if it is wide. But Los Angeles is more organized than San Francisco.
Oh well the video isnt meant to be unique. Its just meant to say how nice California is in USA.
"LA the King and SF the Queen"

SF and LA are both tied together.
There is no competition.
SF is ranked higher than LA on the ranking system.
But LA has the best layout of a skyline in the US.
This video was meant to show the major skylines of California.
5 of the skylines in this video are from LA. Including Downtown.
So I got to put LA first :D

I should ask my Dad to drive us there someday, since I'm not even the age of 16 yet (though my youtube account is.)
I live in Greater LA, way over there in San Diego, and 2 hours away from Downtown LA.
We have an indoor mall.
It is being expanded and building an outdoor.
Its great to have an inside-out mall.
You can choose to go outside when its hot or go inside for fresh air.

The blue shiny round building.
It appears famous in Los Angeles's skyline due to the beautiful reflection while driving, and the elevators.
Going there at night is the best time ever.
Next time I go Downtown LA, I should tell my dad to park near there. Last time, we parked near Wells Fargo-California Plaza.

Great sites and food in those cities among other things, but L.A. is THE place!

We were suppose to be going to the beach this summer because my cousins came, but we didn't have enough time!
We always go to the beaches in San Diego, since it is closer.
Going to the beach is only 1 hour away! Just like the time to go San Diego!
But my mom is bored of it. The worst thing is that my sister only knows how to stop the plan

Like what I said, Los Angeles have the beauty of a "techno" look.
So all fast, techno, rap, etc, matches to LA.
I'm Chinese, and I know a LOT of movie stars going to LA.
Everyone I know in China wants to go to LA.
Even my relatives in Hong Kong likes the skyline of LA better than theirs, although Hong Kong is rated best!
Los Angeles have the best foods in the US, and they have almost all of the geography types.
I just love LA.
In fact, I go to LA every week with my family!
Go California, too!

Los Angeles probably has the most highways in the US than any other city. LA has so many freeways, I can't count. For example:
Interstate 5: the most memorable highway in Los Angeles (a.k.a. the Golden State Freeway)
Highway 2: that connects Glendale to Downtown LA
Interstate 110: that connects downtown LA to the Pacific shores of Long Beach
Interstate 405: that leads to Santa Monica from the city of Downey.
etc.
Anyways, Los Angeles's nickname should've been "the city of highways".
sp54584 3 years ago
I agree.
Because there are so many cities connected to Los Angeles, we have a lot of highways.
The most major ones are San Francisco, Las Vegas, and San Diego.
Cities like NY and Chicago have very small towns near them.
A lot of highways also lead to world-wide famous attractions, such as Six Flags.
I really love the highways surrounding Downtown.
Freeways, highways, or w/e it is.
I think Los Angeles should be nicknamed "The Techno City"
It has the techno beauty look at night.
LA ROCKS!

Vincent Thomas Bridge.
I believe it crosses one of the rivers in Los Angeles.
The bridge is blue-lighted at night, and Aqua-Colored at morning.
It crosses to an island in Los Angeles.
You know what, I never knew there was an island in Los Angeles!
So LA have everything San Francisco have, but San Francisco doesn't have palm trees!
So LA is the most natural city in the world, including most geographical land!

San Francisco is good if you love taking pictures.
Los Angeles is good if you like to eat and play or go to amusement parks.
San Diego is good if you want romantic.
Obviously, if you start from San Diego to go Sacramento it's worth it.
Go San Diego to Chino Hills to Irvine(10)to Long Beach to Los Angeles to Century City(7th) to San Jose(4th) to Oakland to San Francisco to Sacra.
San Jose is between
Century City, SanDiego, and Irvine is close to Los Angeles while Oakland/Sacramento is near SF.
