  • @RaphaelNYC Eu amo o Rio! I´m a greek who loves brazilian cities, learning portuguese and I have to say that Rio is more beautiful than L.A. Ok, there are many favelas, but once they dissapear, Rio will be one of the safest cities in the world.

  • Building an NFL stadium by staples will just help to centralize and increase urbanism in Los Angeles!

  • Do you like South Central? I never been to California before & I want to move there. I want to know the good areas & bad areas of L.A. I'm 19 too & my goal in life is to move to L.A. I really want to go. But I'm scared, I want to move to a good place where it's not all expensive & there's no killing, shooting, & robbery. A nice peaceful neighborhood. I want to go to the beach. Is Malibu the best place to go?

  • what happned to the song!?

  • Suggested song to listen to while watching this video-

    Are you a Hypotist?? by The Flaming Lips.

    It's very trippy.

  • new york is by far the greatest city in the world....but i love L.A. more. everything is in L.A.....city of angels <3

  • DTLA not big??okk not big but original and sooo unique..all european cities and even some american cities + tokyo and seoul blabla are just copies of new york u cannot tell if its one over another but LA is so recognasabl and again original and the most famous its soo represent the american dream..i love LA

  • WELCOME TO LOS ANGELES

    NOW GO HOME !

    We already go enough people living here. We're losing our originality because of all the lame asses moving here.

  • 1. traffic congestion

    2. crime

    3. very high unemployment rate, to go along with very high foreclosure rates

    4. very high cost of living

    5. highest auto insurance rates in nation

    I am sure there is more I am leaving out, but why the hell would anyone want to live there--seriously? About the only thing L.A. has that 99% of the rest of the country doesn't, is decent weather and you can't say "sunshine" because the pollution there is so bad you don't even get very much of that.

  • You are just mad cuz ur city sucks. L.A is the best.

  • yeah, that must be it--I am just jealous that my city is not ridden with so many problems as much as L.A. is.

    We have those same issues ( like any other city has ) but nowhere in the magnitude that L.A. has.

    The only thing that we have that would be worse ( besides the cloudy skies most of the year for those that bitch about that ) would be the property tax rates.

    Oregon has the highest property tax rates in the nation outside of Hawaii.

  • Okay well stay your ass in Oregon then. Ill be here loving L.A . Ridden with so many problems ? You make a judgment of L.A from a Youtube video and wanna say how many problem it has like you actually live here. You dont see anybody from L.A commenting on a boring Oregon vid

  • You're right. I haven't lived in L.A. and I truly am thankful for that! To be honest, it ( like any other city ) is worth visiting the "touristy spots" and then getting the hell out of there!

    However moron, my father has lived there the last 30 yrs and I spent each of those first 20 summers down there, so I am *QUITE* aware of its problems.

    If you think Oregon is "boring", you obviously have never been here, and please do us all a favor, and stay your ass in CA yourself!

  • Comment removed

  • Oregon is probably one of the most boring states I've ever been too. There aren't any actual big cities (besides Portland, which is more like a big town), the people there are weird, and you can get lost in wilderness if you take a wrong turn off the highway. Screw Oregon, I'm a California native living in Washington state, and I would much rather live in those two states instead of hoe-dung Oregon. A bunch of hick-trailertrash-hippies be livin' all up in there! Seattle and L.A. ROCK!!

  • You haven't been to more than a couple of states then have you? Obviously not.

    I wouldn't call 2.6 million people "a big town". It is almost the size of Seattle, FYI. Odd you say both Seattle and L.A. when my father was up here ( from L.A. ), he said the two cities are similar ( except the weather, crime and traffic ).

    What the hell you talking about getting lost? you can't with any state that has large forested areas ( hint, hint like WA! ) and I wouldn't be talking about "weird" people

  • LA has a wider skyline than most of the cities.

    It spreads wide for 16 miles towards Santa Monica beach. Everything is based on Wilshire Boulevard. 80% of the buildings are in Wilshire Boulevard.

    Guys, stop saying LA has a small skyline. Cause it doesn't.

    Yes, DTLA is small. But Wilshire Boulevard is our skyline.

    For LA, its spreading out and up.

    LA is spreading. One day its gonna become the biggest city in the world BY SIZE god damn fuckers!

    o sorry but neways LA has a big skyline n big land!

  • This is exactly what I've been looking for - the perfect visual to some of the music I listen to. I can't thank you enough!

  • Los Angeles is one of the largest skyline in the world if you combine all of the skylines into one.

    If you include all LA and the counties into one?

    OH MY!

    The world's largest skyline!

  • no =P

  • Note: LA have the most skylines in the USA.

    Example: If you combine Dallas, Houston, and Austin skyline, you will get a very large skyline.

    LA have about 30 skylines. 10 major ones.

    Search it up!

    But then I said LA County, which I meant Greater LA Area.

    Combine all the Greater LA Area and you can imagine how much Los Angeles really is.

    I made this thing up cause I know a lot about California cities.

    Note: LA City and Orange county together about 50-60 skylines.

  • No, not at all. Have you been to many Asian cities? In fact, most major European cities have a bigger skyline than LA.

  • I don't care if a skyline is big or not.

    Sometimes, cities like Hong Kong have hard time getting a nice picture and full-detail. LA is a great size, along with Houston, Seattle, San Francisco, etc.

    LA have many angles. Either large, medium, or dense. If you look at Downtown LA with Century City in the foreground at night, I believe that is the best angle to look at LA's skyline.

    I've been to my hometown HK, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Imma go Taipei. I been to SanFran and always hometown Vegas!

  • One day, if you go to LA, make sure you drive to Santa Monica Freeway from Downtown to the Beach.

    Along there, you see DTLA's skyline, from extreme wide, medium, to extreme dense. Passing DTLA, you're surprised the skyline doesn't end. It's Mid WIlshire. It spreads to Century City, which will be visible. But to the west of Century City is Wilshire BLVD. It supports CC's skyline to Santa Monica. Photographers are impossible to prove LA's skyline is long because of the mountains. Which SUCKS!

  • I love L.A.

    It has it all.

    Some bad yes, but most of it is amazing!

    George Vreeland Hill

  • In "Collateral," when Tom Cruise asked Jamie Foxx if he liked L.A., all Foxx could say is, "It's my home." Objectively speaking, L.A. has its shortcomings, but this is my home. As long as I am here, my love for this city is unconditional! And this video is a beautiful evocation of the beauty, surrealism, and romance of L.A., my home bittersweet home.

  • No.

    If you don't really know the geography of Los Angeles, then I can tell you-

    Los Angeles have about two rivers, lakes, ponds, islands, with Vincent Thomas Bridge connected, beaches, mountains, hills, and steep hills like San Francisco.

    The City of LA is one of the most taken-pictures in the world, with different angles. I like LA skyline because the skyline is small, medium, and wide.

    LA is unique too. It have the techno beauty. Highways. Amazingly, LA have bout 30 skylines=most in America.

  • Thanks for posting this video it is an awsome clip of LA a night. LOL Well nuff said and thankz.

  • Dude, where are you from?

    The people of Los Angeles love talking about reasons.

    Aliens destroying LA? Capital of the 3rd World? LA is ugly, full of crimes, poverty, and garbages?

    DUDE? Can you post a comment that are more reasonable?Can you stop saying things that are repeated all the time?

    Let say YOUR city is the stupidest city in the world?

    Now, how would you feel? That is what you did to us.

    You didn't give us ANY reason why LA is a bad city.

    This video is to explain how beautiful LA is.

  • I LOVE LOS ANGELES

  • "This video is no longer available"

    EVERY LA video says

    "This videp is no longer available"

    Wtf is up with youtube?

    Some Music Videos are available

    BUT MY VIDEOS ARE "NO LONGER AVAIABLE"

    WTF!?

  • L.A. is a very exciting city but I like Berlin more./L.A. ist eine tolle Stadt, aber Berlin ist noch viel geiler.

  • I was born and raised in this city and I hate all L.A. bashers you can't get past the crime and ghetto parts of it. Endless gems are waiting to be found in this city...and no other city in the world can you sample something from so many cultures.

  • It depends on what you define as "LA."

    Nonetheless, comparing San Francisco or NYC to LA is like comparing Jessica Alba to Paris Hilton. All fucked up, social and intellectual decay, and all media.

  • For those who doesnt know whats Greater LA

    Greater LA is named because many people say that some citys are in LA but they arnt actually. Example: The Beach. The beach is called to be that it is LA. Im guessing its Long Beach. Most cities taht couldnt see Downtown is the ones tahts not in LA. But LA is like a mountain range. Some part of LA couldnt see LA DOwntown.

    LA is the 51th state:D

  • This is what Ill say

    Los Angeles is the husband of San Francisco:DDDD

    LA+SF+SD+SM+LB+OL+S+HW+GGB+P=C­ALIFORNIA

    Los Angeles+SanFrancisco+SanDiego+­SantaMonica+Oakland+Sacramento­+GoldenGateBridge+Pechanga+Hol­lywood+MovieStars+102.7KIIS FM=

    CALIFORNIA!LA MY LOVE!

    That is why California is the most populated state in the USA. Good weather too!

    For those who wonders what is Pechanga

    Pechanga is in Southern California in Temecula(Next to SD) It is a casino spread to Las Vegas

    LA EVERYDAY BABEH!!

  • mAN GO TO GO SO BAD i live in vancouver :(

  • Ooh, Vancouver is a beautiful city too. I visited last summer and had a blast! :)

  • hehe :) you live in LA?

  • ugh!

  • I absolutely LOVE my city!!!

  • im coming to LA in july. im from australia i cant wait.

  • i love this city

  • Greater L.A. has a population of about 13 million people. That's funny to think that a single city can have a population bigger than an entire country.

  • 'greater LA'..woo, americans showing off bigger numbers. he asked how many people were in LA only.

    LA has 4.5million people.

  • Wow... Umm, I'm sure xNaorix knew what I meant when I said "Greater" L.A. Most people use the population of the entire metropolitan area when talking about a specific city. For example, London itself has a population of 7 million people, but the greater London area has about 12 million, and that's the official number. Quit being such an ignorant asshole and dissing on americans when I didn't even do shit to you!

  • bite me, bitch.

  • yeah, but that population figure extends out to San Bernardino / Riverside area ( about 45-50 miles east ), and when you get down to it, it is more like 9-10 million, which yes, is more populated that some small countries.

    Now double that figure, and you have the population of Mexico City metro area, in a much more confined area.

  • Yeah, ok, Mexico City is HUGE, but it's got NOTHING on L.A.!! The City of Angels is the entertainment capital of the world! They've got EVERYTHING there.

  • Nope, you're wrong there too.

    Las Vegas is the "entertainment capital of the world". L.A. has some nice things, but even NY has more to see and do than L.A. does!

    You're right though, L.A. does have "everything" and I listed them all further down this comment page ( of which I am sure I still didn't list all of them--those were just ones that immediately come to mind. )

  • Now I feel inferior LOL. Your mom worked worked for the cartoon network LOL

    I had been wondering if this was a kid I was talking to and sure enough.......please! when you get a little bit older and you can attend the all the sites in Vegas, then we'll chat.

    Until then, just continue to ride your skateboard and big wheel.

  • Comment removed

  • shit, you would sound like my son!

    I'm twice your age--and speaking of L.A. I was spending quite a bit of time down there long before you were even a thought!

  • Seriously, I don't think there is anything new in south central LA you could show me that I haven't already seen, except for more areas that have been tagged.

  • Comment removed

  • I don't recall where this started, but if I remember right, you said something about Vegas and that you're 19 or something like that, and I said when you can attend everything in Vegas ( 21+ ), than we'll chat about what Vegas and LA have to offer in comparison.

    Vegas isn't known as "the entertainment capital in the world" just because of its lights.

  • Comment removed

  • Yes it does make sense.

    You're 19 now right? Ok, then in 2 more years, send me a message and I will fill you in what I am talking about, including exact locations of where I'm talking about.

    Wanna know what I am talking about with Vegas? Think L.A, San Fran and SD rolled into one times 10, but on 1/5th of the scale!

    Trust me, if you aren't 21, you can not see what I am talking about, because the cops and the Clark County Courthouse in Vegas are strict about enforcing it!

  • it's my dream

  • Can you believe this city is nearly 500 sq miles big!

  • lots of pollution

  • @zkunit That's not Angeleno's fault. LA is in a basin, surrounded on all sides by mountains and hills that hold in the smog and all that. That's just the story with LA. hehe

  • What the???? Out of all the videos on the Internet, this is the only one that doesent have a watermark, copyright or anything else on it to find out who made it or who it belongs to! WHY? I want it in HD so bad and I cant find it anywhere on the internet, only in this crappppppy resolution that youtube provides :(

  • Where could I get this video in HD and .avi or .vmw format? Its so good....misses a slow relaxing instrumental song....but its good the way it is also.

  • Los Angeles has a lot of poverty, drugs and garbage. San Francisco or San Diego are better cities than Los Angeles

  • Los Angeles has a lot of poverty, drugs and garbage

  • do you mean colombia has a lot of poverty,garbage,and especially drugs.

  • I've been there 1 time

    i wonder why it looks so beautiful the buildings in us even though there are only a few big ones

    probabilly its due to the color??cause there are not so much kinds of color right?

  • The tallest buliding reminds me when The Rock said, "...is cookin'."

  • L.A IS THE BEST CITY OF THE WORLD =P

  • Sometimes the americans reminds me brazillians, many people in Rio hate São Paulo and vice versa.

  • I love L.A.

  • go to L.A. first. there many things you can do in Cali

  • witch city do you recommend of Miami and los angeles.. I want to go to one of these places next summer, and i find it hard to choose.. witch it the warmest in the summer?

  • Miami is nice, but I prefer L.A. :)

  • MIAMI PARTIES HARDER &BETTER CITY

  • California is the best state

    You can go out from the LAX Airport then you can eat dinner. At night, you can take pictures in LA Downtown. Stay at a hotel. Then the next day, go Hollywooods then Chinatown or Little Tokyos

    Also, you can visit some malls. Cal has the best malls. Go to casinos then you can choose going Las Vegas or San Diego.(LV perfered)

    Stay at hotels. Then, take the airport at LV to SanFrancisco. After few weeks/days, you can go Oakland or Sacramento. Good weather in Cali too

  • so CGI so Hollywood so L.A.

  • Looks Beautiful, but honestly this looks fake because i dont see a sign of smog in the air or maybe it was just one of those rare clear sky nights.

  • Good point. Yeah well I don't think L.A. has even "rare clear" nights.

    When it goes back and forth from #1 polluted to #2 polluted, and back to #1 again ( alternating with Houston ), you know things are bad there....

  • trust me, every now and then L.A. gets a clear sky at night. I live down in the South Bay area of L.A. and I can see the downtown L.A. skyline from Dominguez Hills/Carson on Wilmington&Victoria or Central&Victoria. I can see it really good, like super clear, HD type shit. And thats like15-17 miles south of downtown.

    And what is up with everyone reppin and going hord for their city/town/state?

    Its bizarre.

  • Needs some music. I'd suggest some of the cues by Vangelis for the movie Blade Runner.

  • Thanks, but I don't know how to add music :(

  • kingzach's momma got pregnant by Fred Thompson. Then ol' Fred paid for the abortion.

  • Your mom's a ho and should have aborted your gay ass.
