People that shit on Southern California completely baffle me. I read bullshit like Urian's post and wonder if we're talking about the same state.
The Movie industry? Are you fucking kidding me? Who the fuck do you even know in the movie industry? Good friends of our family are extras for films and commercials, and that's the only people I know that are even remotely connected with Hollywood. I don't consider them "the movie industry". The closest I've ever got to "the movie industry" was a damn movie shoot that closed off the 105 on ramp right by LAX when I flew back to Taiwan, and I freaked out because I thought some horrible highway chase had gone wrong.
Seriously, fucked up police cars all over the damn place, it was rad.
I know a bunch of people in the movie industry, but that's because of my background in theatre. I was also hiring actors for a while... which sucked. A lot of them tend to be fickle self centered fucks.

Fun Fact: Los Angeles is a large city and most of the people who live there have nothing to do with the film industry
most things here are more expensive than they are in other countries like cars and clothes because the dollar is so weak
property in this city is stupidly expensive and I would hate to live in Brisbane or Perth right now were inflation is like a million percent because of the mining boom
things are cheaper for ME there
Perth was pretty awesome
and yeah a mining boom
we had one of those back in 1849

Something about a place saying, "You know what's going to be the future here? Mining."
Makes me think it isn't a very good place to live.

Seriously, what's with all the hate? LA isn't that bad. I like getting to go down there. If I could afford it I wouldn't mind moving there. And the people aren't all bad. There are plenty of really nice people (though apparently we have bad road-rage or whatever).
I love living in California.
But LA can go fuck it's self. Nothing good has ever happened to whenever I go there. Even when just driving up or down the I-5 in LA.
The traffic is fucking horrible, it's always overcast or smoggy as fuck. It makes me feel sick whenever I make a trip like that.
But the second I get to Orange County, everything clears up, the traffic, the weather. Shit, even the fucking birds are singing because they know they're not in LA.

I guess I'm just used to the bad air. I've never had trouble with it. And, like my uncle said, I'm a 'city-girl'. Said as such because I am as listless as humanely possible when taken to go camping. Man, that sucked.

Ok, cool, you have a different opinion than mine so obviously becoming an asshole is customary. Don't try to insult my intelligence if you just have a different stance on a topic. You may see nice people, while I may see mean people.

That was probably them filming Die Hard. We got warnings on base that we'd be hearing explosions so don't call the SP's

I live in Carlsbad (San Diego for those who don't know where Carlsbad is) so yeah I am a typical socal'er, but you have to have a lot of money to live in Santa Monica, much less L.A.
I don't know why the fuck anyone would want to live in either of those places, unless you dig the hollywood scene. But then again i've lived here since I was born, so as soon as it's viable for me to move, i'm moving FAR away, maybe even Europe. Just because I like movies doesn't mean I respect the industry. I think the people who work in the movie business are absolute scum (while some can be very good people, though).

no, only downtown san diego is san diego, where the homeless people are angry that you're encroaching on their turf, when they're not busy making the general area smell like urine
The only thing I do not like about where I live is that the nearest Red Robin is in Glendale, which is like a fifteen minute drive even without traffic.

I see your point
Who's next?
I am, of course.
It would be nice if San Diego had greasy douchebags blocking the sidewalk so they could try to give you a little flipbook of porn.
be it San Diego, LA, Las Vegas, and ESPECIALLY Seattle
'Cause man, I love me some Red Robin.
