ok there's alot of bias and misinformation in these reviews that i feel the neccesity to correct.
First and foremost: DRIVERS! the drivers in LA are NOT bad..this is a big misconception. think to yourself, "how can LA drivers be bad when they drive everyday in constantly risky conditions?" The drivers in LA are some of the best and they know that, they're not bad only risky.
VIOLENT CRIMES: there's alot that is not exposed in the media, numerous times while finding my way back onto a freeway i have found myself in sketchy situations. i've accidentally driven into a block in South Central while a search helicopter was overhead-shining the searchlight into the adjacent apartment building, i pulled off to the side to check my map (once again in south central) then looked to my left and saw a group of black gangmembers surrounding someone on the floor-stabbed or shot, driven past a murder scene/investigation. these incidents all happened in South Central and were witnessed on every visit to the area. and to add...aside from further misconception, Compton is also bad during the day. My little cousin went to visit a friend in Compton and in broad daylight was held up for 3 dollars at knife point.
This goes for most of: South Central, Watts, Compton, Willowbrook, Huntington Park, East LA, Lynwood, and parts of: South Gate, South Bay, Venice and Santa Monica.
Robbery: most of LA is shady this way at night, especially Downtown, and Hollywood.
DRUGS: if you're street smart and you're able to analyze the street, then you KNOW that drugs are everywhere here.
OVERALL: As far as tourism is concerned- LA is a young city, younger than New York, which has peaked; younger than Boston-which is ultimatley insignificant in this country's progression, younger than Chicago; and younger than San Francisco which has also peaked in city status and is also more a collection of culture rather than a creator.
If you were to explore the dark side of LA using soley your feet and public trans, you'd be screwed. on the real, though. Stay out.
