  • San Fransisco is SO MUCH better than LA. Sorry, but it's true.

  • Stop with all the racism crap. A race does not ruin cities; uneducated people who are low-income are susceptible to that life style because life has not been good to them. I'm a Mexican American, my mother grew up in Mexico, and am I cancer to my community? No, I attended a top tier university and work a very good job. It's not race that matters, it's a person's circumstance in life.

  • Hey huys; i'm looking for recent documentaries on LA. If anyone has recommendations, pm me, thanks a lot! :)

    Oh, and please don't fight over which of NY and LA beats the other because both really are two great cities to live in imo!

  • I'm sure somebody else said this, but I'm too drunk and lazy to check the earlier comments, but why ya gotta be so racial 'n shit? Spanish language signs, dumpsters, a mention of the overwhelming population of Armenians living in Glendale... But seriously, good job. I like this video.

  • I wish the quality wasn't so pixilated

  • American a dreamer city

  • wtf dont make my city look stupid cuh

  • People defending LA:

    At least we don't have to wait in this god forsaken traffic! Ah, the subway.

    People defending NYC:

    Have fun sitting in the damn snow while we enjoy the beach!

    In the end, no one wins. So STFU!

  • This Video is about "L.A"......Why are people from New York here? Are you guys JEALOUS of the beaches we have, the GREAT weather have here all year long, the rich culture and diversity? Maybe you guys are STILL mad because Tupac > Biggie....Buahahaha

  • NYC > LA.

    NY STATE > CA.

    East Coast > West Coast

  • @Nynik8 Thats why we currently have 90 degree weather while you guys are sitting in the SNOW.....LMFAO

  • @maguawashington lmao to be honest i love the snow, and cant stand the shitty heat. i'll vacation in FL if i want that haha.

  • Im from LA, lived there my whole life, now I'm stationed in NYC.. i love NYC. But LA is still my home, and in my eyes is still better than NYC.. i do absolutely love THE CITY only worth being called a city though

  • Burbank a suburb? It's a city which was founded in1887. The L.A. suburbs are nowhere near Burbank.

  • Why you gotta yell

  • nyc is still better

  • @CharlieSnipes1 LA > NYC. but NYC is more beautiful than LA. but i'd rather live in LA.

  • @scooby172 l.a is more beautiful ..nyc looks more luxurious but i wanna go to l.a fuck my city nyc

  • Comment removed

    George Vreeland Hill

  • fuck ny la forever we got the best weather in the whole usa

  • there is african people in america because they were use as a slaves long time ago, now every body is complaining about them because they are the gangsters. americans made them like that alwas pushing them away. if you treat somone nice he or she will treat you nice, do somthing stupid to them they will do somthing stupit at you, so please dont complain of your mistakes. every body have a good day.

  • All mexicans should leave here.

  • Good work. I like the narration. Good location shots. The resolution could have been higher, though. Would make it better.

  • California is an old mexican territory quit being mad americans.

  • @ralphfirst I'm not american, but i live in the U.S. and i have to say that even though we took your land like a long time ago, you guys are already illegally immigrating your asses over here and now there's a whole bunch of ya. So you guys aren't any doing us any good either.

  • @909secretmodel we took your land? <---- yeah ok no! you first of all didnt do a dam thing. Second, the usa didnt take whats his face gave him california because he was being told he was going to die, now if your a pussy ass like sanatana you probably woulda handed it over. If Mexico was to look at paperwork Mexico would be able to take California back because there is no treaty signed.

  • It's the MEXICANS and BLACKS who destroy neighborhoods cause they don't give a shit!

  • LA; too many MEXICANS!

  • cool video I'm from Europe Romania

  • "the things we do here affects the world, and that makes me proud"

    what is it excactly which makes you think somehow L.A. is good for the rest of the world and how can you be proud of it?

  • Is Santa Monica or Burbank are part of LA or it's another city?

  • @98bigbutt yea there part of L.A

  • best city in the world!!! I'm from New York city but LA is the best!!! i'm moving there soon

  • yup...i'm gonna live here! :) someday

  • ass

  • Fella your a good narator. you should do movies!

  • hey dude are you from holland or something(because your van gogh)

  • Downtown LA needs revitalization NOW!! It's overpopulated with all these latin american stores that make the city look cheap and dirty. Those people don't respect the city and where they live. Close these businesses down, bring back the Broadway theaters, and move in some decent retailers that EVERYONE will be able to enjoy. Downtown LA will be cleaner, safer, and a better place to visit.

  • Thats LA for you. if you dont like it GTFO

  • @jghobart AND That would be a very communist thing to do btw

  • @jghobart Closing business down? those business are everywhere and they contribute taxes to the city. the money that make it great. AND maybe YOU dont like tacos, burritos, chineese food, etc yes its just NOT mexicans that live in LA. and if those stores close down A shitload of people wouldnt be happy. so it would be worse dumbass. in the aspect of clean. just clean it up and if dont like it you can GTFO

  • @jghobart that's right vote @jghobart people! hahahaha!

  • they just gave the money to Mexico so that the US wont look bad to the world. you really think that Mexico would actually be willing to sell that much territory??

  • nathan you are  a retard

  • Would USA have been placed in Europe - you would have had numerous wars and conflicts with your neighbours, and you would never reach your now-economic level. But thankfully, you deal with TWO neighbours only, one of them Canada (please!) and Mexico - which is bullied by USA constantly. I wish I could see you in European environment, with neighbours just as tough as you, bullies are. And please, stop bragging how "great" you are and how everything starts and stops with USA- you are 200 yrs old!

  • @varnahelloyall

    USA will still own!!!

  • @varnahelloyall

    We are great, I like all cultures but the USA is special.

  • @varnahelloyall "Mexico which is bullied constantly by USA" You think thats wrong? Someone has to bully Mexico into shape otherwise the drug gangs would be ruling that place.

  • @varnahelloyall

    GET REAL! You don't have to be racist to realize the problems that exists in America.

  • Ok, for those who complained about Mexicans - this is ridiculous - whites conquer these territories, you had multiple wars with Mexico with the help of England and France - you've actually forcefully annexed huge territories from Mexico (California, Texas - you name it) you've killed numerous Mexicans ON THEIR TERRITORY, I mean, c'mon, you should know your own miserable history. You've wiped all native people out(indians), this is worst than holocaust.

  • @varnahelloyall you know mexico sold those states to the usa ?

  • @zalien6 dude enough about saying it used to be mexico's. It was only mexican territory for like 25 yrs. It's been American territory for like 160+yrs. and SPAIN ruled all of this territory including Latin America for over 300 yrs. So L.A. is American territory whether you like it or not. Thank God it's American territory too.

  • @varnahelloyall actually the English, French, Spaniards, Portuguese, etc. came on over here WAY before there was a United States of America. You guys came here to colonize and you guys killed many native peoples.

  • NEW YORK!

  • @fallen250 You got that right NYC

  • i love LA, but you're pathetic

  • How is LA like no other city? What to the people who live there & never visited anywhere else in the World? I could say the same about the city I live in...

  • LA sucks.

    I am planning my travel for the USA ... but man, I don´t see anything "interesting" in LA besides the fake Hollywood´s world.

    Well ... i have to say ... Cape Town, Rio de Janeiro ... better than LA.

  • Pretty good documentary, I’ve lived here in Los Angeles for 27 years, I form Central America and I still haven’t seen all of L.A. Can any one recommend other places to see? Where my beautiful Asian wife and I can go and relax.

  • @yovani29...what area do you live in (2 major cross-streets). I can recommend some coolplaces for adults, kids and family as a whole. Holla at me.

  • SHUTUP 4TH COMMET U know nothing about L.A down town LA is where all the skyscrapers is .. and it is near HOLLYWOOD and it is american no matter how much immagrent there ALL and it a free contree so dont, mind , them EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...now do you know LA

  • da life lol my favortie rapper lives in l.a may b u seen him around the game

  • @kryptographos lmao yes everyone should come to compton.there is a motel on longbeach Blvd

  • I'm high and this video was great because I want to travel to LA!!

  • what racist comments..guess where you all come from, americans! from europe, most of you! don't forget that! your ancestors were foreigners and took over a country that wasn't theirs, by killing the natives! so who's proud now? there's nothing wrong about latinos, they're humans like you and me. you dirty american, come to my country, and then we'll see, who is the foreigner. bloody hell, i can't believe what i just read about mexicans. i feel ashamed how humans treat humans.

  • Living in a culturally divers city like Los Angeles is the best experience anyone could appreciate, but humans need to show a little consideration for their community! Have some respect for your heritage and society, Quit Trashing LA and All of California!

  • i wanna move here so bad when i can but never evn been to CA and your all sayin its a bad city should i move there?

  • I love LA , I luv it, I luv it, I luv it...been there last year for two weeks and had a FANTASTIC time. Im definitely going back there a few more times.

  • @DaygoJer you are making it seem like Latinos are dirty .. guess what we are not!! so stop being racist.. oh and guess what else... latinos are taking over this country so get used to it or get out :)

  • @DaygoJer YOUR A FUCKING IDIOT!!!! IGNORANT, we dont want to turn LA into little mexico??? WTF LOL, tijuana is fucking disgusting and our best decision was to sell it to USA, and you mentioned chicago, san francisco has beutiful cites??? dude every city has got there ugly side and in my opinion LA is a way better city then the ones you mentioned. downtown??? downtown is fucking ugly bro and Hollywood lol....do you live here?

  • @drumbum4628

    Downtown?? ummm yea the areas where its infested with you insects! the new areas with the skyscrapers is what im talking about. yes i have a home in los angeles stupid, my mom lives up there and i go up every now and then.

    i have love for Los Angeles all the way, the only thing that bothers me is how MAJORITY of you mexicans don't want to put an effort into speaking english just because your people know their are translators around for you. You ppl want spanish everywhere.

  • @DaygoJer i'm mexican and i lived in L.A for about 5 years or so, and yes you'r right we don't take as much care of the city as americans,and that alwayas pised me off, but i'm glad you said "MAJORITY" and not "ALL".....the insect part, i didn't like, but i guess that's what you think of us... too bad.. take care dude...

  • @drumbum4628

    And yes, i said San Francisco, Chicago and New York City. Majority of people in the nation would choose those cities rather than Los Angeles BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE AMERICAN.

    YOU WOULD THINK LA IS BETTER!! YOUR MEXICAN!! DUHHH.

  • @DaygoJer Man Fuck You! My family has been living here since this was Mexico! And guess what? We like it much better filled with Latinos! U can leave if U dnt like it here! L.A. California is Origianlly Spanish/Mexican territory! And underneath it all, it still is! Our numbers are only growing! L.A. will Never be the city you want it to be!! So get with it, or fucken leave!

  • @DaygoJer hey pendejooo do not be ignorant to start all of us living in America are Americans already there is a South American Americans etc.

    racsistas gringos why in the world are so hated and everyone will want to put shit bombs

    I live in mexico and I hate the damn gringos junkies and queers

  • @DaygoJer

    LA has no ability to be a high-rise city. I'm sorry.

  • @jerzkid87

    they actually do... its just the angelenos arent used to all that high rise culture.. they're so glued to suburbs and private transportation. the high rises are there and ppl are moving into them... so some angelenos see that vision as well, for la to go back to urban city living, we just need a way for the rest of la to see the advantages of mass transit and living in a vertical city rather than a sprawled out one

  • @DaygoJer really you think Chicago is beautiful? Yeah their downtown maybe but take a trip to the south side and west side and add the gray cold weather with disgruntled ppl. Wow haha

  • @DaygoJer ya all you need to do is get rid of those Mexicans to make things better right??? you racist/ ignorant prick

  • @DaygoJer I bet u r Latino.

  • he only showed one side of la. what about the west side?

  • Burbank? Burbank is like living in El Monte, but a little closer to downtown.

  • yeah but burbank is part of the L.A. metro area. In fact its surrounded by L.A. city limits pretty much on all sides. You leave out burbank airport on the backside and you land right in North Hollywood which is a district of Los Angeles city limits located in San Fernando valley. You guys act like he said Victorville or something. LOL

  • I can't wait to move to LA! (Northridge) one more year till school for me

  • hey its the same for me! :)

  • this i what i saw from this video" a dirty subarban lookin city full of mexicans" only the endin of the video it got better, but by the looks of it...... MEXICANS PLOTTING TO TAKE LA BACK TO MEXICO, lol if thats possible.

  • @sexyrican77trey

    Quit watching L.A videos then . You are just Jealous

  • @sexyrican77trey omg your stupid......

  • Nice video and nice to watch

  • Why is he so boring?

  • Simplemente feo, San Francisco esta mucho mas mejor.

  • *** es MUCHO MEJOR... NO mucho MAS mejor.

    El MAS esta de mas... y estas diciendo un disparate. :)

  • About L.A: It's like everywhere and it's like no place on Earth.

    ( I heard this on 106.7 KROQ)

  • whoever made this video is ignorant.. its sad....

    fucking asshole.

  • Come on, after 3 years you must already know that Burbank is an Independant City and NOT Los Angeles and Burbank is, by far, better in every respect and is NOT a good example of bad Los Angeles.

    I am a 45 year Native and Veteran of Los Angeles and have seen its utter destruction by all those seeking their dreams. I say to all of you...."By all means, move to Los Angeles to follow 'YOUR' dreams, BUT if you dont find it here, do not stay and become 'OUR' nightmare.

  • Born and raised in L.A and i completely agree.

    Ive lived everywhere from the hills of Glendale to the heart of South Central so i guess you can say im a vet as well.

    Im just sick of all these new comers. L.A is loosing its originality with all of these newbies.

  • My uncle said the same thing in 1968.

  • what do You mean by loosing its originality with the new comers?

  • Comment removed

  • This video reveals typical ignorance of the history of California.

    Typical Europeans descendants believe that "America" shouldnt look like another foreign country. And real original American Americans are white like George Washington of course. Why are all these brown people living in "America"..

    They dont belong here. Why are they messing up the place "my American homeland"..

  • I hate to inform you that all of the brown skinned people are descendants of people that have lived on this land AMERICA LONG before the Europeans even thought about coming to America.

    In fact the word American was first coined by the earliest italian explorers, which was used to describe the native people in this land - the "Americans"...

    All the brown skinned people are descendants of these ORIGINAL AMERICANS whether you want to face it or not .

  • The earliest settler's (spanish and indians and their descendants) land was stolen, they were kicked out, and had no aggressive nature to take arms against their aggressors have had to deal with the selfishness of Europeans for over a hundred years.

  • They were forced to live in the shit hole your forefathers dumped on the docile and peaceful native people. Those dumpy neighborhoods are the fault of the greedy Europeans who dug up all of the land and turned into cheap suburbs with shit architecture. GO back to the midwest with your idiotic sense of what is America.

  • yeah glendale! the best place ever, paradise for us armenians. altough i now live in vegas. (which really sucks) i whant to really move back to my home city. god i miss la.

  • It's sad but that's the way of the world! And if you don't have to drive in LA, then don't because it can make a person lose their mind! Take the good and the bad.

  • ITS CALLED MEXICANS!!!!!!! 1:29

  • hey dopesince1990 you think you're funny with your stupid comment? stop smoking that shit and get a job or something asshole!

  • fuckin deuschbag tourista...go back to the midwest or wherever the fuck your from...

  • Born and raised in LA! One of the best places to live. The Spanish-speaking community isn't new. Yes, they've grown in numbers, but they have always been part of Los Angeles.

  • who's the girl at 0:25?

  • There are good parts and bad parts like any city in the world, I live near Seville, Southern Spain, and i go to Los Angeles nearly every year, as I have family in Larchmont, I love LA for me its my second home and I take with me a bit of Seville when im there and i bring back home a bit of LA in me. Seville and Los Angeles are for me my favourite Cities.

  • Media x puppet is right and im from south central

  • good perspective. i hate it when people who don't live here or have only been here once think they know everything about LA and it's culture. they start rambling about gangs and car-jacking. it's very complicated, and i love it for that. LA is a safe city as far as i'm concerned. even the rough parts. if you stick out like a rube you're going to be treated like one.

  • omg burbank seems to be a poor part of los angeles, in the video you think it´s a poor part of mexico city, everything in spanish.. but hollywood looks really interesting.....

  • born and raised

  • the last sentene in this video is great.

  • tortellino23 - good, you and the narrow are two retarded guys!

  • how would u like to suck my dick, retard?

  • Los Angeles is the fusion of Mexico, Japan, China, Korea, Vietnam, and the United States. I love this city even if she has some problems. She is honest and warm, and by warm, I mean literally.

  • Gotta go to LA someday. It looks like Chicago.

    *with the exception of the Palm trees. LOL

  • this video is almost it's a tour for little 5 year olds, the commentary is slow, and most of the info are too vague and plus the fact ppl who haven't been to L.A knows way more than what you've described

  • LA use to be part of mexico until they lost a war against the white americans, thats why their is so many mexicans their.....and white americans a originaly from europe so they aint really from their u would be naturaly much darker!!! i love LA it's the only place i'v been where so many people are smiling at once!!!

  • Actually, California used to be a sparsely populated outpost of Spain before Mexico's independence, and Mexico only had it for about 25 years. Mexicans didn't start moving to California in large numbers until after the Mexican Revolution of 1910. It's a myth that Mexicans were always in LA, the "Mexican" identity didn't really exist until well after they got their independence.

  • to tell the truth i i dnt beleive that, if you think logicly mexico is like an hour and a bit away from l.a. still part of the same land. spain on the other hand is like thousands of miles away so before these man made boarders it was defo one place wich happend to be called mexico not a myth a fact you can feel it when your there!!!

  • Before the Spaniards came to what is now LA, the area was populated by the native Americans, specifically the Tongva. There are Tongva living today, they just don't have their own reservation like other native American tribes. Try telling them that they are Mexican, or any other native tribe in soCal like the Pechanga tribe or the Chumash. I think they will disagree too.

  • I agree with you. I go to California every year for a month, I love it very much but i get shocked when i get comments like,!!! I Dont Need To Go To Spain When I Have Mexico Next Door!!!. When Spain is a sophisticated European country, thats what makes me angry when im in California, the ignorance that exist about Europe is shocking.

  • and also most of the mexicans we see today aint the original ones

  • El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora de los Angeles de Porciuncula is now Los Angeles, founded September 4th, 1781. If there were enough people to form a city then they had a geographical ethnic identity that was formed by a mixing of indian and spanish cultures.You must discuss the entire southwest CA, AZ, NM, and Texas when talking about the original settlers,Indians,Mexicans,Span­iards. Typical ignorant white US citizens want to claim this land was empty so they can be the only Americans.THEY ARE WRONG

  • then was then and now was now. probably best not to instigate the divide. i enjoy southern california because of it's mixed diversity. i love that i went to a mostly mexican high school. i love how the lesser diverse white folk with their opinions on my home. at the same time i was born here against my will and nobody can tell me i don't belong here. i'm just as much a native who belongs here as anyone.

  • robaron amexico los angeles¡¡¡¡

  • y ni nos duele esta feo...

  • I luv L.A there is no city like this

  • =)  Very nice!!!!!!!

  • no not seattle. tac-town we got knock outz,crips,bloods,and folks u name it we go it.

  • Great video i have learnt alot from this thank you for sharing :).

  • nice video, As a LA county native, I welcome you to the socal fraternity, consider yourself blessed.

  • bet cha wont go down to south central LA not downtown but the white people r start to move back to the SC-not southern california, and the blacks r movin out to the valley and even futher, sad but so wat its all LA,its more than just gang bangin alot of other nice things like robbery,car jackin, u know all type of shit
