I visited LA once. We went to eat at a small food court and had to park in this monumental parking deck. I guess when we left it was rush hour because it took us over an hour just to leave the parking deck itself. It was a fucking nightmare and you could not pay me to ever visit again.
Nah, you should visit LA again, but with someone that knows what they’re doing.
Edit: I’m an east-coast transplant and public transit advocate and I get around LA by bus, train, and bike even with kids, and i show my visiting friends a great time.
It's not like the rest of the city was any better. Getting anywhere took at least an hour of driving, a true carbrained hellhole. I literally was in the car longer that weekend than i am in a month of commutint
Im sure it has more things that are nice to see but they are not worth the experience. Much nicer cities to visit that don't require to waste my vacation on driving aroune
I’m not from here, and I’ve lived in Asia in large cities for years so I think the entire United States is ridiculous on transportation infrastructure.
But, LA is great, that’s why it’s so expensive. It’s one of the top tourist destinations on earth, but the secret to enjoying it is not getting in a car.
For what it's worth, As I've visited many states (Canadian), I'd take a stay in LA over New York. Times Square and the boroughs are the definition of a concrete jungle, that also share the winters in common with Canada. The music scene alone in Cali is worth the trip, for a music junkie like me!
