No, LA really does blow. I have extended family there, as well as my sister who's teaching in South Central, and it's always blown.
It's not just the miasma of artificiality, there's a distinct odor of apathy. Imagine a blackout like the one we had here over there. CHA-OS.
I luuuuvs me my New York.
LA BLOWS! LA BLOWS! LA BLOWS! Insert "sucks" for "blows" at your convenience.
