I lived in LA for a couple of years and it eventually just wore me down. It would be cool if you had plenty of cash and could live in an area where you didn't have to leave very often, but if you are someone who has to commute or drive around a lot the traffic is insane and I found most of the people to be fake, schemers. Although, admittedly I was working in the movie business which seems to have a higher rate of douchbags than a lot of other industries.
Eventually the traffic, smog, crowds and bullshit got to me enough that I had to leave.
