At least in Phoenix, you can get off the main highways and take side streets to where you want to go. In L.A., you can't. You're stuck.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In L.A., I don't really want to go out because traffic sucks so bad. I'm sorry, I'm not going to spend five hours a day in my car, so you have to choose where you live very carefully.
In L.A., it's the sort of city where you have to have a car to get around.
A lot of times, L.A. is desaturated, and cement and freeways, and downtown.
Being a pedestrian again is very exciting because in L.A. you live in your car, and you're on a freeway all the time.
Everyone lives under their rocks in L.A., so it takes a long time to find your lane.
If you live in L.A. long enough, you get into having a cool car.
I've gotten super into restaurants in L.A., so I try to go to different restaurants all the time... that's a good way to explore L.A.: you can drive to a restaurant and discover a new neighborhood.
I think I have lived in every part of L.A. except downtown. Everywhere from Topanga Canyon to Toluca Lake.
I would never want to live in L.A., and I made that decision years ago, so I never chose that path for myself, although I have much respect for those that do it at a high level.
L.A.'s kind of, like, seven really cool towns. It's so laid-back. If you go in the right spot, you can walk around, and you don't need a car.
