this video has the same music as the tokyo one, by the way

[LonelyPlanet]

Yes, you are right. It was made by the same filmmaker.

The infrastructure and buildings in Los Angeles are aging. The population is increasing with the Hispanic boom. Streets are littered with homeless people, signs are being posted more and more with the Spanish language, giving way for change since the Los Angeles Golden Age of the 80s. Businesses and stores are closing down because of the Economic crisis, freeways are jammed with traffic from the rising population. But you know what? It's my city, and I love it so much. Things are improving.

LA is the worst place to go, I got mugged for my iPad, screwed on my business deal, and called a terrorist by the LAPD!

Whenever I'm in LA I make a beeline for the "old" Downtown.

People always ask me on finding I'm heading to LA: "you gonna head to the Westside or Venice or Santa Monica or Westwood or Melrose or (insert usual tourist shithole) and I just tell em "I'll be hanging out in OLD Downtown where *I feel most at home*"!

[BungalowHollywood]

If you're visiting Hollywood and need a cheap place to stay, come check out the hostel, Banana Bungalow or Vibe Hotel!!

@SimplyPolitical feel the wame way for some reason I felt in love with la

[Angel7black]

born in Manhattan, but i will die in L.A.

To me, this out of all cities this city, even with all its problems, is the most beautiful city in the world. its kinda like a beautiful popular girl thats constantly in the spotlight and acts crazy as hell. but when you actually take the time out talk to get to know her you realize she's and amazing person who just has some problems in her life. people see her and either lust for her or hate her when they've never even actually gotten to know her

[HackebeilHarry]

Is this LA, California or some 3rd world shithole?

[Gatoona]

If you see past the scarred skin of LA, and look deeper into the city, you will find the indescribable beauty of Los Angeles that has already captivated so many Angelenos. LA, where reality meets fantasy.

That was on point...solid representation.

i miss you LA! i recently moved up to a city right outside of portland, or because it was just too expensive to stay & its a great city, but NO WHERE in the USA can capture the feeling and heartbeat of Los Angeles.
