Los Angeles - California

In the US as a whole, Los Angeles exists in the minds of Americans as more of a concept than an actual place. It is the city that people have traditionally loved to hate. But more recently, it has become a place to which people want to move. When a person comes to Los Angeles, invariably one of the first things that they realize about it is that it is not just a huge, homogenous monolith of Hollywood sets and traffic problems, but rather a diverse metropolis, both in lifestyle and economics, as well as climate and politics. Says Michael Greenwald of this place where he has spent the majority of his life: "Los Angeles is the city of extremes ... and that is what makes us interesting."
