Los Angeles might be a good place to live in a few years!
LA is kinda weird and while not my favorite city the biggest myth is that it was the first major US city to "be built around the automobile." It was the first major city to be built around the streetcar, instead of pedestrians, which is why it has an annoying level of density. Too dense for cars, not quite dense enough (anymore) for walkability (obviously there are walkable places).
