Los Angeles; like a Boschian hellscape, only worse


Things I hate about Los Angeles:

Abundant use of gasoline-powered leaf blowers; the weather; right-turn on red; pedestrian-unfriendly streets and sidewalks; smog; the proliferation of SUVs; cell phones cemented to drivers' ears; Bluetooth wireless ear pieces that make people wearing them look either a) crazy (you look like you're talking to yourself) or b) like egotistical jackasses (are you REALLY that important that you must have a piece of telephony attached to your head at ALL times?); the lack of police patrols on foot; homeless, homeless everywhere; the lack of water restrictions of any kind even though LA is a DESERT and is experiencing a DROUGHT; people who say that they love the weather even though they go from their air-conditioned home, to their air-conditioned car, to their air-conditioned office, and then back again; aggressive drivers who have no idea how to drive; sprawl; crappy public transportation network; freeways; the lack of road tolls to combat congestion; and the lack of decent pizza.

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of for now.

While not as funny as your list, I have a few things to add: no Dunkin' Donuts, no bike paths, dearth of cute geeky lesbians (not that I need more than one), unrelenting heat, bad Greek food.
