Los Angeles is the largest city on the west coast, and the second largest city in the United States (after New York City). Appropriately enough, LA is the opposite to NYC in practically every way: the weather is the same year-round, public transportation is virtually non-existent, and few buildings rise above two stories tall. Like New York, however, it is very polluted.
Much of Los Angeles is covered by ghettos and ruled by gangs. One Angelo equated Los Angeles to "the Bronx, multiplied by six." However, the area also boasts some of the most affluent neighborhoods in the world, including Beverly Hills and Newport Beach.
It is rare to find someone at Columbia who is from Los Angeles who did not go to Harvard-Westlake.
