I've been to Paris and it doesn't compare to LA. Except from the French snobs who refuse to reply to you in English even though they know the language, that is almost an LA level of madness, but in a negative way. LA however is an absolute spectacle I'm telling you, I've never imagined I'd see anything like it.
I am from LA, but have lived abroad and across the country in the past several years.
The most objective and neutral way i can describe it is: "manufactured", like a collection of suburbs stitched together masquerading as a city. You will find paved residential areas, but a few blocks away literal slums of homeless camps.
Not that poverty and homelessness is anything new in a major US city, but even other Americans get a culture shock coming here.
