^ Red Rock Canyon looks surreal in that photo. It's really amazing to believe that scenes like those are less than 10 miles from the city.
Greater Los Angeles is halfway between Hawaii and NYC, literally and figuratively. Another reason why it is the greatest location on Earth.

Angel's Gate Lighthouse with San Pedro in the background...
From flickr by Chris&Steve  BTW..I hiked out to that lighthouse two summers ago with a group of friends armed with a flashlight; a back pack; bottles of water; two granola bars...at around 10 p.m. at night. The waves were crashing in on one side (which was quite unsettling) and then you had this sense of calmness on the harbor side of the breakwater. One of the scariest and at the same time fun experiences I've had. I would NOT recommend going out there on a stormy day or when it's high tide. Also, I'd make sure to wear bright clothing and a life preserver vest next time just in case I slip on a wet spot and fall in...

Probably one of the best locations in the world yes but it's all screwed up now because of the immense pollution and over crowding population. imo.

^ Air quality is mendable. Mountains, beaches, and deserts are firmly fixed in place.
Overcrowding? What?

LA is way overcrowded if you're from kelowna.
Also, FYI LA has severe overcrowding issues in it's lower-income neighborhoods. Garage conversions are one well-known example of this. LA definitely has the worst air in the country: http://www.dbtechno.com/health/2010/...ty-in-america/ |

^ Exactly. How does traffic, pollution, or (supposed) overcrowding change the fact that we're the only one with mountains, beaches, deserts, and islands? Those three things are a result of human irresponsibility and they exist anywhere with mass population. Earthquakes and wildfires, on the other hand, are legit arguments.
