- Every city has its pluses and minuses.
- From the weather to the food, there’s a lot to love about Los Angeles.
- Here, 21 people share their favorite things about LA.
No matter where you live — whether it’s a big city or a small town — there are surely things you love and don’t love about it. Although I left Los Angeles almost two years ago for goats in Switzerland, I spent several years living there and have a mental list of my favorite things.
From driving along the Pacific Coast Highway late at night with the windows down, inhaling the scent of the ocean, to going to Du-par’s (an old school diner chain which doubles as my writing office sometimes) for raspberry pie in the middle of the night, there’s no shortage of things to do in LA, and there’s something for everyone. In fact, while writing this piece, I became so nostalgic for LA that I booked a flight back.
With nearly four million people in LA (3,999,759), according to the US Census Bureau’s estimate from July 2017, the city may seem too crowded. Though, to me, that only means more people and things to love.
Here, I asked 21 people for the best things about living in LA, and perhaps you’ll relate or be inspired to visit and see for yourself.

T.J., 50s
The best thing about LA is the escape valves — the outdoors. Within a relatively short distance, you can be at the beach, in the desert, or, best of all, up in the mountains. To go from sea level and craziness to 8,000 feet and solitude is what keeps me here … and sane.

I love that, day or night, you can eat at thousands of restaurants or food trucks in hundreds of varieties, price points, and ethnic traditions. If you want to eat it, you can find it on the streets of LA.
In the same way, the arts community is vibrant, eclectic, and there is always something new to see, hear, and do related to visual, performing, and public art.

In LA, it’s so nice to meet people in a variety of jobs. For me personally, I can be diverse in what I do for work, like switch between my remote business job and then go to an audition the same day.
