LA is a huge city. Sometimes I look at it and see all the good things and love it, and other times I see the bad things.
When I think about the ridiculous policies, increasing gang violence, homelessness, overcrowded schools and hospitals, insufficient park space, endless graffiti, excessive bureacracy, increased traffic, funding problems for the expo line, silly NIMBYism over the expo line, stalled street imrpovements because of lack of funding, scrapped civic projects like the courthouse, 3x more cars than pedestrians on sunset blvd, awesome restaurnats/museums/stores closed on Sundays, bickering over building great projects because of lack of parking or traffic, severe smog days, etc. etc. I get overwhelmed.
When I think about all the new restos opening, the great new music scene developing, the maturing arts scene, the increasing cultural offerings, the geographic and population diversity, going to the beach in december, a continual revival of culver city, ktown, venice, silver lake, hollywood, and downtown, I get quite happy.
I dont know what it is, but in LA, I can love it one minute, then hate it the next. i do more loving than hating, but like you said, some things just REALLY REALLY piss me off!
With the park fifth news, iI am a little peeved. This, along with the expo lines severe problems, make me a little annoyed at the moment, but LA is a huge town, and there are other projects and other things happening around town to make me forget about this news.
