I like the views of skyscrapers. Views of urban sprawl are fascinatingly disgusting.

Grew up 1.5 hours north of there, so we'd have to go now and then for big things. The only time I ever went to the skyscraper part was for surgery. It's all offices, not housing. So even though lots of people work in them they all have to drive there. From said sprawl.

Yeah. LA is such an ugly city.

There's a line in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy about it looking like it's made of of junk mail, and I never fully appreciated what that meant until now.
