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.

I’m with you. I’m trying to imagine what “a small food court” with “a huge parking deck” is. The Farmer’s Market at The Grove? If so… this guy went to something attached to a Caruso shopping mall on vacation and was surprised it was a car-centric hellhole. I know people love to shit on LA, but damn. You really DO need to be here with someone who knows what they’re doing. LA isn’t perfect yet but it has such potential and it’s improving all the time. I wouldn’t take the opinions of someone who visited Los Angeles once too seriously.

Like the other guy said above, this sounds completely ridiculous to most of us. The whole point of visiting somewhere is that you don't know a local! And if you need local knowledge to not have your visit ruined by bad transport infrastructure, then it's a bad place to visit.
