Anyways. I disagree.

This is what I said: LA’s the only metro area that contains decent coastal beaches, snow-capped mountains, sprawling deserts, and semi-remote islands (note the plural). I think that’s pretty straight-forward.* As such, one could reasonably make the case that it has the best geographic location based on how the question was framed.
How much more weight one assigns to what (e.g. proximity to vast mountain ranges over sprawling deserts) has no bearing on the overall premise of my argument.
* If you don’t think so, what other populated place of 3+ million has those things within a 50-60-mile radius of the city center? This is strictly quantitative. It has nothing to do with individual preferences.
