BLDGBLOG: Greater Los Angeles

“L.A. is the apocalypse: it’s you and a bunch of parking lots. No one’s going to save you; no one’s looking out for you. It’s the only city I know where that’s the explicit premise of living there – that’s the deal you make when you move to L.A. The city, ironically, is emotionally authentic. It says: no one loves you; you’re the least important person in the room; get over it.” I haven’t ever heard someone sum up LA so accurately. This is exactly what it’s like to live there, and why I love it so dearly. (via Kottke)
