[quote=Anonymous]LA is a pretty ugly city.  The downtown is bland and sterile and the whole county is a massive sprawl of cookie cutter postwar houses and strip malls.  Nothing is really walkable outside of a couple small pockets, and even then you generally have to drive to that pocket to walk around.  The streets are wide and cars speed by so fast that it's a most inhospitable terrain for walking.  There are a few charming areas with gorgeous houses built in the 20s and 30s but they are now astronomically expensive.  On the whole, most of LA feels very run down and hardly very glamorous.  Don't expect a lot of intellectual DC-style conversations; this is the home of the Kardashian Klan, after all.  Traffic is ATROCIOUS!

On the plus side, the restaurant scene is far superior to DC and most people are much friendlier and outgoing than DC folks. The beaches are nice and the sunsets are gorgeous.

I lived there for years and I wouldn't go back.  For one thing, I'm priced out now; whereas DC still has some close-in areas that are affordable, in LA, "barely affordable" means a 60 mile commute.[/quote]
