My sister lived there for 25 yrs. I visited often. Our son went to USC. I visited LA often.  Live in rural area 3 hrs east of Chicago. 3 hrs west of Detroit.  Could be an age thing, but I’m over the traffic, and the decay I’ve seen in large cities in here in the US. Fun - maybe - to visit for a couple of days.  Rural life - on a lake - much, much better.
