@maija @allison @meso @sjw Staying there is not living there, wherever "there" is; again, you haven't said which area. It's like someone saying they hate Chinese food and they turn out to have only had the SF-Canto style food. Having been to a lot of cities, I can say that the "rich part" is usually not the nice part, and it's definitely the case in LA. People that see nothing wrong with telling me that my home is a shithole tend to be oblivious in general but they also don't seem to venture outside the containment zone. Fine by me if they leave with a bad impression: it's already too crowded here anyway. It's a perfectly reasonable reaction to bristle if someone refers to your birthplace as a shithole twice.
At any rate, it's a very big place and it changes pretty rapidly if you stay on a street. Little Tokyo's not anything like WeHo but they are right next to each other on the map.
