I could name many other prettier neighborhoods in Los Angeles over Hancock Park.

Here we go again.

It's just an article, not a study. Just a half-assed attempt by a tourism reporter.

LOL, maybe we should stop posting list.

Every single list posted here is met with such hostility

Sunset Beach, CA should be on here, I think. it's just north of Huntington, and has beautiful waterways.

oak park ain't a neighborhood of chicago, it's a suburb of chicago.

don't get me wrong, oak park is a very nice pre-war burb with the largest concentration of frank lloyd wright architecture in the world (it was his home for many years), but if the author can't even get basic facts like whether a place is a neighborhood or suburb of a city, then that doesn't leave me terribly inclined to put put much stock in the rest of what the author has to say.

Exactly. These lists are simply recognition of a few places that fit the description - not scientific fact and certainly not exclusive of all the (obviously) thousands of other places that also fit the description. Of course there are tons of beautiful neighborhoods not mentioned here...but these are the ones that were chosen, for whatever reason, for this particular list.

Paseo, Oklahoma City -- nice area with quaint little business district. Certainly nice for a rather wholly-unattractive place like Oklahoma City, but among the most beautiful in America? That's just outright silly talk.

One criteria for this type of list is to include as many regions as possible, because that will make readers warm and fuzzy.

Are you feeling slighted? They missed the Pac Northwest.

No, we're constantly on this sort of list, so our egos get stroked often enough.
