Its hot, dirty, smoggy, brown-colored, full of traffic, and generally shitty-looking with a few gems here and there. Oh, and expensive.
what's wrong with people who are of different skin color?

Continuing with the theme of No's...
No fresh air
No unconjested roads
No good food
No good public transport
After visiting LA, I don't think I'd recommend it even to visit. But apparently it grows on people after a while.
Before the demise of the Red Cars, the system was bought up by General Motors, Standard Oil and Firestone Tires, among others, and the service began to suffer. Over a comparatively short period of time, with the management of these automobile-affiliated companies the Red Car system lessened in quality, service, and subsequently lost many formerly satisfied customers. Perhaps not so coincidentally, this formerly popular and efficient service had quickly fallen into disrepair. Once the new owners "proved" the ineptness of the Red Cars to the (notoriously corrupt) city officials, it was agreed upon that the transit system would be shut down and dismantled. Sadly, you can still see skeletons on the old rail system on some of L.A.'s traffic ridden streets.
Compared to where I live not even the beach has fresh air. Speaking of, LA beaches are a bit of a joke.Fresh air by the coast usually
FTFYPlenty of open roads (as long as you avoid the entire county)
I'll grant you that. But I ate out pretty much every meal during my month there, and most meals were either very cheap or very not worth it.Food all depends on where you go
Sadly Auckland seems to be going the way of LA on the transport front. We don't even have your low gas prices.I'll give you that on public transport, for which we can thank oil, tire and car companies

LA is a huge city. clearly you have no idea what you were doing or have no palette.
It's funny, but despite our food being consistently twice the cost of food in the US, and our minimum wage being much higher, with taxes and tips our restaurant food isn't significantly more expensive and I'm more consistently satisfied with the quality here.
Or maybe I'm just a philistine who prefers my hollandaise to come from an egg and butter in a bain-marie rather than from custard and cream, or worse, from a powder in a packet. Or my steak to actually come cooked on both sides (as opposed to at one place which shall remain nameless). Or for it to come medium rare when I ask for it medium rare (not ranging from blue to well done, as I've experienced; thankfully that range was not through the one steak).
you can get all those things, you just gotta know where to look. where you shouldn't go would be like, cheesecake factory.
so pardon the obvious, did you take any of our suggestions?

rofl you have no idea about the food scene in LA...the botom line is you get what you pay for...you go cheap you get cheap...Yes, actually.
Slaters 50/50 was alright, but it wasn't fantastic or anything and it was pretty expensive.
Langers was pretty good. Tommys was pretty good too.
Places like Mastros and Pacific Dining Car were pretty far out of my budget.
I actually went to the Cheesecake Factory, and the food wasn't too bad. The actual cheesecake was shit. Like eating cream cheese that had been subjected to a machine press.
In 'n Out was alright. The first time I had it the beef was a bit dry. The second time was a lot better.
In general, I liked the food in San Francisco a lot more. The LA places I went to seemed to have a philosophy of quantity > quality.

Stop by in central europe, we still have the most hot women per sq mi.And that's the problem we have, it's so awesome, too many damn people live here so we get traffic, but then in turn we get mixes of the hottest women on earth and the best mix of foods anywhere.
I have lived in LA for 10+ years and have only been to a couple of those places. The key to food in LA is the hole in the wall ethnic restaurants, not the super popular places you may have heard of. I have lived in multiple big cities in the US and LA has by far the best diversity of food and most of the food is pretty cheap.
Except for "Mexican" food. Those beans are disgusting.
