Is LA the worst (developed) city on earth for vacation?

>>212572777 (OP)
There are actual places to visit to whore for instagram likes. Try something like Cedar Rapids instead.

>>212572777 (OP)
aren't all your cities the same outside of new york?

any city in texas will easily surpass LA in that metric

wtf are you gonna see in LA? Stupid ass walk of fame, an open bus tour to see 1/8th of Mel Gibson's back yard and the Getty. I can't even think of anything else. Maybe those tar pits?

Phoenix is a generic American suburban sprawl but in a desert hellscape

>>212572801
whats there to see in LA besides the shitty beach, the shitty (((boulevard))), and overpiced stores?

>>212572808
That and all their suburban and rural places are all the same with no exceptions.

>>212572864
You can visit the heckin’ Hollywood sign, the heckin Beverly Hills, and heckin’ Venice Beach! Now what’s there to visit in Cedar Rapids?

>>212572863
its just a boring old residential city though, its not even in the game to be considered the worst city for vacation.

>>212572893

National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library

I was there 2 weeks ago for 5 days and had plenty of fun. For Beverly Hills to the blade there is plenty of stuff to do. I coulda stayed 2 weeks probably and still had stuff to do. Food was Pretty cheap too

>>212572990
you can also visit the authentic german town of leavenworth, WA!

>>212573016
Yeah, even for a huge city LA has an insane amount of options for recreation

I should also note that getting around in LA as a tourist is extremely inconvenient due to the infamous traffic and useless public transport, and the fact that point ms of interest are all miles away from each other.

>>212572808
Not even close

Wilshire Center is a relatively worthwhile neighborhood for a vacation, Pls consume the businesses there

>>212573202
>Korean vacation is “consuming the businesses” (whatever the fuck that means)

>>212572846
Santa Monica pier
Hollywood sign

Universal Studios
3rd street Promenade
Venice Beach
Griffith Observatory
Malibu Beach
LACMA
California Science Center
Disneyland
Knott's Berry Farm
LA Zoomers
Getty Villa
Natural History Museum
Norton Simon Miseum

>>212573261
Grim

>>212573261
some of those are legit like Disneyland and Universal Studios but I refuse to believe that people consider beaches and a fucking sign as a worthwhile landmark

>>212573275
That's a lot more than there is to do in you're Podunk flyover shit hole

>>212573279
The Hollywood sign is iconic. There's a whole trail that leads up to it and a park at the top from which you can see all of LA
The beaches aren't just a beach, Venice Beach is a whole thing, Malibu is iconic too

There's a lot of fun places in the Greater LA area. It's actually a great place to visit, not so great to live in.

>>212572777 (OP)
Los Angeles is sovl

>>212572777 (OP)
>pic
Thats not even LA, LA is all the way in the top of that picture.

There’s an unbelievable amount of shit to do, it’s just more social/nightlife-y things and less museums. LA food, music, parties etc are peak. It’d definitely be better to go visit someone who lives there instead of just rolling up solo without a plan for that reason.

>>212575895
>it’s just more social/nightlife-y things and less museums
LA has a retarded fuck ton of museums and top notch art galleries if that's the sort of thing you find fun to do on vacation.

>>212575895
>it’s just more social/nightlife-y things and less museums.
Is it? LA feels DEAD at night
>It’d definitely be better to go visit someone who lives there instead of just rolling up solo without a plan for that reason.
This is the only way, the cool things to do in LA are all hidden/gatekept

>>212572846
los angeles is fun to live if you have friends there who live in a house that has its own pool. its more about local gatherings and events. not a very tourist friendly city

>>212572777 (OP)
No there's tons of nice places to go as a tourist in LA. It's actually one of the best places to visit as a tourist on the planet. It's a fucking shit, awful place to live though.

Source - lived in LA county for years

>>212575884
I'm convinced Los Angeles isn't even an actual area. If you live 11 minutes away from a point of interest people from there tell you it isn't LA
>wtf are you doing all the way in alhambra
>i though you said you lived in LA

>>212573186
i don't agree that people saying public transportation sucks, la metro stations were cleaner than i expected and was surprising that you can go to tourist areas, even santa monica, and long beach without transferring. going to san diego by riding oc line too. the city bus service to beverly hills, west hollywood, san fernando valley, lax was systematic, and there were shared scooters everywhere. i think it's basically at the bangkok level

>>212572846
its where girls like this live

>>212572777 (OP)
my sister went sf and la earlier this year and said that out of everywhere she went to (all across europe, nyc and thailand), it was the only place she felt unsafe. said the walk of fame was a shithole full of sketchy people but that's true of every big city in the west now.

>>212576234
In practice, "L. A." is like 13 different cities

>>212572808
No

>>212576962
Foreigners think Hollywood is all glamorous and shit but it's full of homeless and druggies and smells like piss everywhere. I used to live off the strip on Sycamore, the city's a toilet

>>212577018
yeah she said there were some nice shops but she was eager to get back to sf asap because she felt safer around all the chinks though her hotel was right next to the ghetto. its ok though she brought me some chips ahoy back so it wasnt a wasted trip.

bay area/ new york area/ boston are the only important areas in usa
if you dont live there youre a schmuck

>>212576962
LA and SF are completely overrun with schizoid and drugged out homeless. It is genuinely dystopia that the government allows them to ruin our society. Activist district attorneys just don't charge the homeless with crimes.

I wish I could go back in time and see what the area was like before it was colonised

Obviously there's a gigantic city there because the area is perfect for humans, but I bet it was amazing before it was all paved over

>>212572893
Art museum, czech village, tour the brucemore manor, pickle palace, go drinking and fuck college age white girls in iowa city, downtown bazaar farmers market in the summer, boating on the lakes and cedar river. Plus lots of hiking and camping in top-tier nature but there's more than enough to fill a single day besides that. You can do a lot worse than that part of Iowa honestly. Waterloo, davenport, dubuque are all shit. I don't even know what's west of Des Moines. It doesn't make sense to exclusively vacation in CR (unless you're looking for something lowkey), but it's a short enough drive from Chicago that you can just make a daytrip of it and get something out of it. The art museum is great, though sometimes the exhibits of the season are kind of eh.

It's a mid-sized blue collar city anon. LA is a major metropolitan area. Cedar Rapids punches above its weight, but comparing the two is nonsense.

>>212579271
>short enough drive from Chicago
>400km

>>212579374
Yes? What's the problem? Were you expecting to walk it?

>>212579603
It’s not exactly considered a short distance IN GERMANY. It’s the same distance as between Frankfurt and Munich lol.

>>212579271
stealing this miku

>>212579642
It's at the upper end of what I'd consider for a day trip, but it's not that bad. Sometimes I forget Europe isn't so spaced out and you guys aren't used to highway cruisin'

Listen, the trick is get the right car. It should be big, have soft suspension, and most crucially it should have plush seats. It'll melt those miles away. An econobox or something sporty (or anything new, really, since everything is now sporty with hard seats) will just make you tired. In a proper American boat like a Lincoln Town Car, the drive is a comfortable and a small joy. Very zen.

>>212580046
>you guys aren't used to highway cruisin
We literally don’t have speed limits on autobahns IN GERMANY.

>>212580129
Highway cruisin' ain't about speed mein freund. It's about taking it easy. Keep that cruise control locked on and the AC cold. Crack a sugar free monster, maybe. Get some ambient techno bumping on the stereo and enjoy the ride.

>>212573360
>Venice Beach
I was expecting it to be "chill" and "vibes", people act like dick heads

>>212580389
Oh, I drove in the US before. Highway crusin’ is about hogging the left lane and not letting anyone behind you pass you over. I prefer driving on the autobahn when you’re actually obliged by law to keep the traffic flowing smoothly by moving to the right whenever necessary.

>>212580046
How is 400 km a day trip? That is 5 hours of driving, back and forth 10 hours. If you start at 6AM which means waking up earlier and want to be home by midnight then you have 6 hours to do stuff being exhausted from waking up early and driving

>>212580809
You're obliged by law to do that here too. I'm glad you're happy IN GERMANY. Stay there!

>>212572808
>you dont get it niggerville has Walmart and Costco while faggotwoods has Walmart and home depot. They're completely different. We are like 51 different countries o algo

>>212580879
You aren’t. Why are you lying?

>>212576902
From what I've seen the metro in LA is good but doesn't cover enough of the city, compared to even SF. In this respect it's probably comparable to the metro in Rome, probably cleaner and with less petty criminals though.

>>212579054
>area is perfect for humans
anon, if it weren't for moden marvels of technology california could not even support 1/3 of its population.

>>212580998
You are. South Dakota is the only state without left-lane laws.
In all states it's a traffic violation to hold up traffic in any way, too.
https://www.goupstate.com/story/news/nation-world/2019/10/25/driving-in-left-lane-state-by-state-guide-to-when-its-legal-when-its-not/2447573007/

Nevada seems like a cool place to live, I don't care about parties, gatherings or meeting people, I like to do things on my own, someone tell me more about Nevada.

>>212580389
This makes me a little unamerican but I fucking hate driving.
I regularly avoid trips because I can't stand being in a car for hours at a time.
Traveling with normies is fucked. They will spend 4 hours in a car and then force you to run around doing shit at whatever destination you arrive. They will try to avoid staying the night at the destination because "we can make it back in time" so when it's over they rush back to the car for another 4 hour trip to try to make it back home on time. After all of this my mood is totally fucked, I hate everyone and I wish I never went.

>>212583951
I'm too anxious when I drive, like full alert schizoid. I also don't like being the passenger because I get motion sick easily, the constant motion of braking when there's traffic makes me nauseous, I'm pretty sure 95% of drivers in the world can't do limousine stops.

>>212572808
There are some nice small ones in the older colonies on the East Coast, like Charleston, Winston-Salem, Savannah, etc

>>212584371
If that's your criteria, don't sleep on New Orleans

>>212584443
too fr*nch

>>212572808
they are, flyovers(non New-Yorkers) will seethe and tell you it's false though

>>212572808
no the cities are different, but the culture is the same (besides Miami, maybe SLC also since the majority of people are apart of a 19th century cult).
They vary in weather and how much they are like a city vs a conglomeration of suburbs
>>212572863
Phoenix has done a decent job building a light rail system and building density around it, especially in Tempe
>>212584371
Winston Salem is a shithole lol, you gotta be confusing it with something else.

Both Charleston and Savannah have a very expensive touristy old town area but then are surrounded by generic sprawl. Charlotte is the best city in the Carolinas, its 'soulless' with a lot of sprawl but they've built up a fairly nice urban core and it attracts people and companies from around the country to move there.

>>212584552
>Winston Salem is a shithole lol, you gotta be confusing it with something else
I just meant that it has a nice historic district that gives it some character.

I was just trying to be nice to America, every city in the US has urban sprawl. If you discount every place with urban sprawl then you'd never compliment anything but a handful of Massachusetts' fishing villages

>>212580929
New Mexico and Arizona are more different than Poland and France

>>212584502
Chicago and Austin are very different.

Americans are very mobile so there aren't many regional cultural differences, but that doesn't mean the cities are all the same. There's categories of course, growing sun belt cities (Austin, Atlanta, Dallas, Charlotte, Phoenix) are all very similar, and rust belt cities (Detroit, Cleveland, St Louis) are very similar. Chicago is a hybrid, the downtown and north feel like New York, while the south feels like a rust belt city.

>>212583946
You can get that in any state, most of this country is not densely inhabited, but especially anywhere in the west. I guess Nevada's good if you like desert. There's desert in other states too though.

It’s way too low-density
And developers are trying to build it up more, but the retards on city council won’t allow people to build apartments.
If they were a little denser you could easily walk around and take public transport.

>>212584854
LA urban area is more dense than NYC urban area. LA is dense for American standards, its just polycentric.
>>212584684
NYC also has a lot of sprawl, but no one would ever say that makes Manhattan not urban. I agree that sprawl doesn't automatically make a city bad.

But Charleston and Savannah's cores just aren't that nice places to live in. I would rate Charlotte and Atlanta above Savannah/Charleston, they're nicer places to live even though they're not picturesque.

>>212584854
>the retards on city council won’t allow people to build apartments
And of course these apartments will all be 30% reserved for black people for stupid low prices subsidized by taxpayers and residents that actually have jobs or something. There's a reason that boomers have such a strong knee jerk response to apartments. It's a great way to just nuke any semblance of community. Which is actually extremely ironic given how soulless suburbs are. The solution isn't increased density, it's giving up on this garbage dump of a nigger loving hellhole and going to asia.

>>212584987
Manhattan is cool

>>212584987
>NYC also has a lot of sprawl, but no one would ever say that makes Manhattan not urban.
Well, that's also because how exceptionally urban the central parts of the NYC metro are, where you could live your whole life without ever leaving it.
