1. The people 2. The people 3. The people 4. The trash 5. Too expensive.
coldest people in the us, detached plastic people. I wasted too many years there!
sh(i)thole....
So true!! I wasted 3yrs of my life there. Glad I got TF outta there!
I lived in LA for many years and the complaints about the traffic are valid but there are many silver linings - first off, you become a master driver when you live in LA. You've never truly learned to drive until you drive in LA. Second,you can find so many awesome radio stations, discover new songs and find your voice whilst sitting in traffic on the freeway. Third, if you look around at all the millions of other people driving along side of you or in front of you or on your tail about to kill you, you might be reminded that we're all united. And lastly, you can always take the surface streets and watch the magic unfold....
You always hear about how bad the traffic is in LA. I went to LA for the first time and thought, "Wow, these people have never been to Chicago."
Mannnn. Chicago has to have the worst traffic. I live 5 hours from Chicago. I've visited a lot of cities, LA included. I was ok with LA traffic. Stayed there for 10 days in LA. My Chicago trips are just for the weekend. Chicago in 3 days is way worse than LA in 10
I was born and raised in California and lived in LA for 25 years. The Cons list far outweighs the Pros list so I got out - I moved away. Best decision I ever made. LA is "hard living" like NYC, but you don't get NYC. You just get Kardashians. LOL.
I purposefully avoided looking for work in LA because of the traffic.
Hope you happy where you are now. Sad to know,I lived there and loved it in 2001.
LA peeps are nice but not good.
@@kaveh1836 HELL A. Maybe that's why it is so hot and never rains.
LA is home but when I had the chance to move back it just made no sense. I now live in NC and it feels like the Valley when I was growing up. Looking in from the outside it just looks insane.
I grew up in LA in the 50's & 60's. Worked for 30 years for the city of LA and moved out. Is LA liveable? Maybe for you but not for me. I remember the old LA when you could go out and around anywhere day or night and actually feel very safe. The beaches, downtown, or the valley had restaurants to die for. The cost of living was more affordable for average workers. I know times change and you have to adjust to what is. It hurts my heart and soul to have to say how wonderful the old LA was. Good times with wonderful people are gone.
Lucky you. You had the chance to live in the Golden Age of Los Angeles. Things change, like you say, and undesireable people always want a piece of the pie and always ruin things everywhere they go.
@@BillGreenAZ
who are the undesirable people?
@@shyphyre People who always make things worse for everyone else.
thank you for the great video
Thank you for taking the time to comment :)
I was raised in California moved because I was young enough that I had to go whit the family. I always said I would go back but hell no you couldn't pay me enough to live in Los Angeles its a complete nightmare now
I’ve in Boston my whole life and I always thought LA had worse traffic than here or NY but I guess it’s not so bad… thanks for the info
Detached people, traffic, and the tents ! Yuck! Expensive housing and taxes.
They like to see the west coast is the best coast but damn is no different than New York and I can say that cuz I am a New Yorker but I like when they bring things like this up because when you hear about Los Angeles is only just the good stuff the Hollywood the beauty the lights the songs never really some of the reality truth about it good stuff
How did you limit the list to just five?
It depends where you live, I live in a nice area and enjoy my town.
I am so happy I moved….the high rent forced me out but I’m so happy in my new state.
LA would be more livable if they destroyed half of the freeways. It's a city of freeways made for cars, not people.
This video is very informative. I love LA and there is no place I would rather be. I was born and raised here and my family has been here since before California was a state.
I agree. LA sucks! I've been living here since 1975. It's gotten worse. The upside is that my home is now 3X what it was worth when I purchased it. Not that I plan to sell, because I'm very set in my ways, but the neighborhood isn't gross either.
Best part of LA was when I left it lol. Oh yeah, I HATE THE 405!!!!!!
Where can you get an apartment for under 2k!?
The San Fernando Valley and some places in Downtown are quite affordable.
@ B.B. Somewhere where you’ll have serious security issues, catalytic converter theft, crime, and section 8 housing where your taxes pay your neighbors rent that refuse to work. You have to be poor enough to qualify tho
You cannot even walk a block without being harassed by a homeless person. They are aggressive and will hackle you if you ignore them.
The best thing about L.A. was leaving it....Two years of my life that i'll never get back...
Too crazy with tailgaters!!!
When I move to LA we gotta grab a bite to eat. Lawd!
You had no clue. I have lived in So Calif for over 40 years in the past. The worst part was high cost of housing, which forced over 80% of people live in lower cost housing outside L.A. County over 50 miles away, and commuted average 2 hours one way, 24/7. That was 1,000 hours on weekdays, not 120. The rush hours are 4 A.M. to 10 P.M. I now, I commuted from Inland Empire every day up to 2008.
Dude spent 30m bitchin about traffic. That's like living in Alaska and you hate the snow
Why does everyone brag about the great weather in Los Angeles? Do you all actually not realize that water is the most important factor which sustains all life?! Typical Californians unaware that decades long droughts will eventually make their million dollar shacks worthless. Because the value of their property is all that matters to them.
Wry true Ms. Nancy!!!
You can make water, there’s a large water source there to the west.
Dealing with a lot of ignorance!!!!!!!!!!!
The price of a house in a nice area of LA is totally out of reach for all but the very affluent , so stop pretending otherwise please.
So true!! 👍🏽
Only 5?
Smell A
There's nothing positive in California.. lower property tax is worthless topic.. if you pay more in Texas but your cost of living is far less you're ahead. But on the other hand, I moved out of California.. didn't stay long and moved out of the country. I know live in Alast, Belgium..Best move I made..
Belgium. Are you a citizen?
@Daniel Fiore no, long term resident. After 5 years I can apply for citizenship.
Leave then
Why don’t you talk about the property tax of Texas? Is this a one sided argument?
@@rick4946 Texas is dependent on revenue from property taxes. Property tax collection have risen more than 20% since 2017 according to the Texas comptroller’s office. (Texas Tribune article 4/22/22)
Prop tax in LA is ~1.3%+ w/the added junk.
The only good thing is the property tax is capped at 2% increase per year and not reassessed at the crazy inflated cost of houses now.

Las Vegas off the strip might surprise you. 😮
Las Vegas is turning into Los Angeles east.
Too crowded and the people suck. At least the people on the east coast aren't phony and tell it like it is.
True!!! I live in Arizona, there somewhat better than California.
I had to leave and I only recently came back to live and work in LA as I got a better job earning 3x more than I did in Texas. Cali is ass.
Worst city in the worst state.
San Francisco and San Diego as well…..dumps 👎🏽
Left LA last year for Dallas 😳. I bet if people left that place for 6 months continuous they’d take a trip back and see how they are getting shafted 😂.
I HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO LIVE IN THAT TIME TAKING PLACE EVER AGAIN ✌🏾.
@@kaveh1836 It sucks the goodness out of people too. Spiritual darkness and decay.
This guy has no idea. Hes lying or being paid to speak nice of it
