Why do people hate Los Angeles so much?

Moving to LA was the best decision I’ve ever made. My only regret is not coming sooner. For years I tried to come out to LA. I had family, Aunts, cousins, etc. here. But I’d be influenced by negative news stories and I was apprehensive but I always dreamed about LA. Finally when I was honest about what I wanted out of life my dreams were finally fulfilled. I accomplished what I had set out to do and I’m striving to achieve even more. It’s given me life and spirit again. I’ve lived in many different states and cities and none of them come close to what LA offers. It’s the total package. Food? We got it. Weather? Absolutely. Opportunity? You’re competing against the best here. I lived in NYC and I hated it. Now that’s a city that deserves the rap. Here you’re going to get all kinds of negative reviews from people who couldn’t make it. Naturally they’re going to try to shit on LA. It’s not her fault everybody wants her but can’t have her.
