I just notice---and ironically too----that Cody, or at least the company he works for, is based in the city that ranked on the top of the list at that link. I personally don't agree with the POV that led to those results, with Portland #1, LA on the bottom. So, yea, that IS ridiculous.
But just cuz I'm pointing out such ppl's opinions doesn't mean I approve of them. So remember: Don't shoot the messenger. Even more so since I----unlike a particular SSPer who shall go unnamed----do not get a kick out of saying it as it is. I don't get a buzz in slamming LA, & describing the city as hopeless, & saying that it's so bad that it can never get better. If I thought that way, or believed it wasn't any better today than it was 10 or 20 yrs ago, or definitely 50 yrs ago, I'd give up on it.

I'm curious about what the parts of Paris that remind you of LA look like. I don't think LA is as fugly as some ppl make it out to be. But for any number of reasons, the city does cause alot of ppl to want to apologize for it. That includes even one of the most well known ppl identified with LA's history:
