People bury their Tecate cans in the sand at Santa Monica. You think compost is a blog page. Ever hear of the Puente Hills Landfill? It's the world's largest dump , and it is in your backyard.
It contains million tons of garbage and stands feet tall. If 'Garbage Mountain' was a high-rise it would be one of your largest skyscrapers City Hall. Its estimated by Dontwastela. One of their findings is that your current system lacks basic recycling services.
I know recycling is a new concept, but try and resist the temptation to throw that Dr. Pepper bottle away with your Styrofoam. Want to do anything in L. Lace up your Nikes and get ready to walk You didn't move to L. They are fantastic if you get there. Warm sand, cool water, and lots of eye candy for all But a day at the beach is usually more like a day trying to get to the beach.
Actually, it seems like a day doing anything, is really more like a day trying to do anything. That includes Canada folks, and we all know its congested as shit up there. So, San Franciscans get a little rowdy sometimes and, arguably, get out of hand with their protesting. That's when we walk places and take in the fresh, occasionally foggy, air. We can be damn full of ourselves. We think our city is European, our parks are the prettiest, and our people are the most liberated and interesting.
God knows, I call on only the craftiest of our local artisans to make my veggie sandwich.

Which brings me to People often talk about L. Some people come here to gawk at the area. Others accidentally make a wrong turn and wind up here. No matter what - lock your doors. Now, the only real difference between Skid Row and the Wholesale District is a line on a map.
However, the Wholesale District is technically even more dangerous and poor than Skid Row. Our next stop along our undesirable drive through LA's worst neighborhoods stops in, surprisingly, downtown. The downtown LA neighborhood is, well, downtown, and while many places here aren't the worst part of LA, some of the worst parts of LA overlap downtown. So, technically, the downtown neighborhood of Los Angeles has some okay parts and some don't ever go there again parts.
The statistics for downtown LA indicate there's no real reason to live here if you have a choice. That's one reason homes are the 3rd cheapest in all of LA. Believe you me, if this area was desirable, every wanna be hip LA cool guy would try to live here. Sure, entertainment wise, there's a lot to do in the downtown neighborhood. But the people who live downtown don't really have the money to do them. The West Adams neighborhood, located south of the 10 between La Brea and La Cienega, west of downtown, is a pretty crummy place to call home, that's for sure.
This neighborhood is one of the oldest in the area, and there are actually a few mansions strewn about. Those poor mansion dwellers. This was actually one of the wealthier areas to live back in the day - it's where USC professors and some of the more edgy actors called home in the thirties. But Beverly Hills became the place for people to move, and everyone left West Adams. Here, most of the residents live at or below poverty, and you have a 1 in 20 chance of being the victim of crime if you spent a year here.
Wanna play a joke on your friends? Tell them you're going to a party in Watts tonight and watch their reaction. This neighborhood, located just north of the on Compton Boulevard, is basically a one big housing project.
Things are so bad in Watts that this neighborhood has a Wikipedia entry. And a very lengthy one at that. In Watts, that gets you a single story, square foot dump with bullet hole patches on it. They've tried to make Watts better. Southeast Los Angeles sure is no walk in the park, either. Next time you're driving up the , headed towards downtown, look to the right. That whole wasteland down there is southeast LA. That's bad. If you find yourself lost, don't ever get off on Slauson.
That's Southeast LA. You've probably heard of areas like Vernon, Huntington Park or Southgate. They're all near here. KTLA usually talks about this area at least once a day for some ghetto reason or another. What makes southeast LA such a dive?
Believe it or not, house prices are actually far cheaper here than in South Central, about 5 blocks to the west. That's because People are poorer, crime is worse, and, well, its certainly not a place to get ahead in life. If you took your beat up, lowered Honda Civic from the Staples Center and headed east along Olympic, eventually, you'd see about ten taco trucks. Then, you'd come to our next crummy neighborhood, offically called Central City East.
That's still twice the national average, but good for an LA hood. People in Central City East are some of the richest' of any other neighborhood we'll be visiting, which puts into perspective how poor lots of the areas in Los Angeles are.
It's just north of Inglewood. Here, things are bad, and getting worse. Residents here have a slightly better way of life in terms of salaries, but the home prices are far higher than in South Central. That's one reason why nearly 6 in 10 residents here rents their home. Schools and crime were rated a C-minus by Niche. And for some reason, this neighborhood got an A minus for entertainment, despite the fact that the only actual thing to do in this neighbor besides the McDonalds playground is an adult club down on Florence Blvd.
Now, many people are probably thinking our next neighborhood, South Los Angeles, might be atop this list. Home to what used to be crips, bloods, grape street gangs and every other form of low life you can name, this area has actually gone from really really really really really bad crime to just really really bad crime.
They voted to rename it South LA' in since South Central was known world wide as a really horrible place to raise kids.
Here, at the Junction of the and the is home to a variety of homes lined with rod iron fences, where you still cannot venture out at night alone. Unless you're selling ice cream. Then, everyone would want to be your friend. If you ever attend a USC game and have to park in this part of town, be aware that you may come back to your car on blocks or windows smashed. Hurray for Hollywood! But despite the fact that just about everyone on the planet has heard of Hollywood, it's actually a really crummy place to live.
Now lots of people think Hollywood is a City. They're wrong. It's actually a neighborhood located in the central region of LA. Home to the famous Chinese Theater, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and really annoying wanna be actors who dress up in Halloween costumes and try to get you to take selfies with them.
Besides the whole, fake people, dirty streets, nowhere to park part, the statistics we measured say Hollywood is crummy, too. To figure out how bad a place is to live in, we only needed to know what kinds of things people like and then decide what places have the least amount of those things.
