LA (the city) mostly sucks. I live in Cypress CA. I'm about 30 seconds from LA county by car. Whenever I go to LA (city) I'm saddened by what a shithole it has become. It used to be a cool city 20 years ago. Now, it smells like piss and the whole city looks like that house down the street with 6 broken cars and 69 cats living in the front yard.
