LA is awesome where else can you surf, snowboard, mountain bike all in one area, and have world class restaurants; bonus of having a new crop of pretty girls who move to LA every year to be famous. Every downtown in the major US cities has a skid row, so I fail to see what is so unique to LA having a one. San Diego is also full of the destitute. Besides with the sunny weather, little rain, dry heat, and no bugs SOCAL in general is a great place to be homeless. Some pretty LA women.

I am always amazed at all the Rubes who move to LA to be famous and do not want to go home, or all the ex-military Inbred shitbags that stay in San Diego and Ventura. Texas is the main exporter of Inbred military lowlifes. I mean if California is so shitty why do they stay here?
Lastly do not forget California's place in the world; domination of entertainment and tech.
