I've never been there. I'm turned off about LA mainly because I can't stand the egos and political views of the actors. I also understand that it's a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants.
LA is decent but it's nowhere as desirable as some Angelenos here want to believe. Go ahead, flame me all you want, but you know (or should know) that it's the truth.
It's not as "loved" as say, NYC, San Francisco or Chicago.
Wait so now your saying you live in L.A?
yea sure, on HERE because theres just a bunch of chicago boosters trolling the forums
but go out in the real world and los angeles and manhattan are the real two megapowers in the u.s
I think for the most part the representation on City-Data is close to that in real life.
You have to be kidding me! The regulars who post on this site are not representative of America generally. Most of us have a particular interest in cities, planning, development, or something similar that most average Americans do not. Most people on blogs/forums like these are not the average American and stats show that too.
There is another thread from a while back that has stats for different sites and it showed the differences of typical City-Data users compared to the average American; generally they tend to be whiter, more educated, etc...

I should have clarified. I meant that because a state has a greater population that they will be better represented here. People's views as well because people from the same regions tend to have a mindset similar to most others regardless of race.
FYI, a majority of Kansas City's metropolitan area is in Missouri. Same goes for the population.
California exists because of people looking for something better. Many of them learned otherwise.
Yes, the Ozarks are heavily flooded with ex-Californians. Trust me.
Yep, I can attest to that, and I'm a native San Diegan and was able to locate the Ozarks on the map,lol, which landed our family outside of Springfield, MO. We loved it there and really loved the 4 seasons and actually having some weather!
I like LA to visit but we couldn't wait to get out of California, not because of the high housing prices, but more because of the huge population of illegals, which in my opinion, makes LA so undesirable.
Californians are leaving by the boat loads, alot of my family and friends have made the move out of state. I didn't want to relocate anywhere near the west coast, I wanted something totally different! Now we are in Georgia after spending a few years in Missouri. We've seen so much of the country that we only read about in history books. It's super cool! We are now getting ready for another move, to Virginia! No desire at all to go back to CA, but I do miss so cal mexican food, taco shops!

Hope you are happy w/ yahoos/Biblebelt fanatics. Your lost, California's gain
