You were very observant, Mars.
With the exception of a few neighborhoods, the general "unkept" look of the freeways is due to the fact that most of LA proper is now indistinguishable from your garden-variety 3rd World S-hole. (I pointed out the same a few months ago regarding the Harbor Freeway "slot" through Downtown.) Sad, because most of the cities surrounding it (Tri-Cities, South Bay, etc.) are still fairly well kept.
But don't take my word for it. Potential mayor and native Angeleno Rick Caruso sings the same song......
