― omar little, Saturday, 3 May 2008 18:45 (seventeen years ago)
- lack of decent public transportation from one side of the city to the other - hollywood/the strip are completely insufferable after 9pm on the weekends - all the best bars need to be driven to - the suburbs like to dump their homeless people on skid row in downtown, courtesy of the cops
― omar little, Saturday, 3 May 2008 18:50 (seventeen years ago)
^ to all those points from Omar. Especially the first in that list.

- amoeba has killed or marginalized every other record store in a twenty mile radius imo - d-bag councilman garcetti apparently wants to fill hollywood with skyscrapers - most people involved in that writers strike was totally self-righteous in the worst possible way - the dj scene here seems to revolve around has-been actors, steve aoki, or random kcrw bores

NIMBY-ass residents in the hills who care more about the value of their houses than clearing the adjacent brush that could prevent another 5-10 year major fire disaster for the other 90% who have to evacuate or loss all their shit -- also applicable to other ecological disasters.

- villaraigosa is starting to worry me a little - la weekly is bullshit - eventually it will probably take herculean efforts to prevent all the cool neighborhoods from turning into miniature versions of the grove
xxpost those kcrw dudes always dj at clubs, especially on the west side it seems. hollywood is for aoki, masterson, samantha ronson, et al
― omar little, Saturday, 3 May 2008 19:07 (seventeen years ago)
- the airports - downey and torrance - mutually contradictory parking restrictions in hollywood (e.g. NO PARKING M-F 8AM-8PM, EXCEPT T-SU 12-4, NO PARKING 6PM – MIDNIGHT EXCEPT P OR J)
― remy bean, Saturday, 3 May 2008 19:07 (seventeen years ago)

i've only spent a weekend in LA and the one thing that sucked and made everything else suck was that the girl we were supposed to stay with us "flaked" and never answer her phone so we had to stay in a seedy motel and eat at denny's the whole time.
i hear flakiness is a thing out there.

lax is not a place i would go to dine or look forward to a significant delay, but all those little terminals with like 20 gates are totally painless and efficient in my experience (except the big intl. terminal, that's a bit heathrow)
― caek, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 22:31 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah, dude. LAX is FAR from high on the list of things to hate about LA.
Good CHRIST, I hate these people. Thankfully, I don't know too many of them, and the ones I do know are actually pretty nice folk, if a little skewed on the concepts of "work night" and "strapped for cash."
I think I hate the passive aggressive "you should just BE out of my way"-ness that a whole ton of people here seem to have. Hard to explain. Related is the seemingly EXTREME offense folk take when you ask them to move. HEY!!! I'm WALKING here!!!!!
I hate the lack of an NFL team. There. I said it.
I hate how expensive it is. Fuck, I pay a LOT to live here.
