Its my opinion and I can choose to say what I was thinking, just as many on this board choose to say what they like or hate about LA. I didn't insult anyone, and I really didn't put your city down. To me most west coast cities, and including LA does have a rather depressing look when its cloudy.
I think most of our western cities look much more colorful and vibrant whenthe sun is bright. Only to eastern cities because of its design (mostly red brick and less colorful) looks charming during those dark winter months.
I can't help how feel about my opinion, but they are mine to make. Because of my thoughts, I was given a back hand insult. So I came replied letting this particular forumer know not all of us Californians have any plans or some great desire to move to the northwest as many of you believe. You really need to stop wearing your feelings on your sleeve. I don't even know you, and was not talking to you. I would hate to see how you would react with all of the insults this board throw at LA.
EDIT: Oh and if you really paid much attention to my comments in the past, I have pretty much said very nice things about Portland. Just because I said I don't have any desire to live there, or didn't like how depressing it looked in these photos. This does not mean I hate it, or will never go back and explore the city a bit than what I have seen.
