So, You're Thinking of Visiting LA? Good Luck with That.
Los Angeles. The City of Angels. A place where dreams are made, and so are traffic jams. It's a city that promises sunshine and stardom, but delivers smog and skepticism. If you’re planning a trip here, buckle up, buttercup, because you’re in for a wild ride. Let’s dive into the things you really shouldn’t do in LA.

| What Should I Avoid In Los Angeles |
Don't Fall for the Hollywood Hype
Hollywood is a place where people go to pretend to be other people. It's a land of illusion, where everyone looks like a million bucks and nothing is as it seems. So, don't expect to bump into Brad Pitt at your local Starbucks. Or worse, don’t try to become one of them. Trust me, the struggle is real.
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
Traffic: The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse
LA traffic is legendary. It’s like a never-ending game of Frogger, except there are no points, and the cars are way bigger. If you think you can conquer it, you’re braver than I am. Avoid rush hour like the plague, and invest in a good audiobook. Or better yet, just learn to meditate.
Tip: Highlight sentences that answer your questions.
Don't Expect Reasonable Housing Prices
Let's talk about housing. In LA, you can either have a mansion or a shoebox. And guess which one is affordable? Yeah, we didn't think so. So, don’t expect to buy a house with a pool and a view unless you’re a lottery winner or a Kardashian.

Ditch the Car (If You Can)
While owning a car in LA might seem like a necessity, it's actually a trap. Traffic, parking, and the constant threat of being rear-ended are just a few of the downsides. Public transportation is improving, and there are plenty of ride-sharing options. Your sanity will thank you.

Don't Underestimate the Weather
LA weather is a fickle mistress. It can be sunny and 75 degrees one minute, and foggy and chilly the next. Don't be caught off guard. Pack layers, and be prepared for anything. Oh, and don't forget your sunglasses.
