Nothing on Homeless? Skid row? Hollywood aka Pedowood "holier-then thou" losers?
The "Hollywood" you are referencing is not geographic. Yes the film studios are in Los Angeles but hollywood celebrity culture is not a property of nor exclusive to Los Angeles the city.
And what about the homless population? Yes it is a problem that there are so many unhoused people. But is it really surprising that they would congregate in a city with such mild weather and access to social services? Do they not also have a right to live their lives?
Sure. It is a "free" country after all. I have no dog in the fight since I am not in the US and do not intend to visit LA any time soon (maybe in the 70s I would have).
All I am doing is, pointing out the reality of LA.
You are commenting on a post about the _experience_ of living in Los Angeles without--by your own admission--having visited the city.
No, I have not visited but I have seen and heard enough to stay away. Maybe win/win!
Food wasn’t one of those but it was 100% due to our bad choices.
However, Hollywood Bd truly was an horrible disappointment. It’s probably the place during this trip where I felt truly unsafe.
But that fortunately was not enough to spoil my good memories.
