I was born in Los Angeles and used to visit when I was younger after I moved. Recently, I went back to visit my sister who still lives there. She’s in her thirties and doesn’t have a single bad thing to say about the city. My theory about that is that it’s because she has such a long history with the place. Personally, I can only see it as having evolved into a money and fame hungry, starfucker wasteland with a serious homelessness problem. What happened to people genuinely dedicated to writing and acting? The arts!! It seems everyone just wants to be a celebrity nowadays. $16 smoothies from Erewhon and $300 Pilates memberships have subsequently taken hold of the masses. Have I only recently come to this conclusion because I’ve matured and started paying more attention to the negatives? Or has Los Angeles seriously downgraded?
