I have lived almost my whole life in the San Fernando Valley, until a year ago, and now I live in Burbank. I go to a magnet high school school in L.A., about 30 minutes driving time, but on the school bus it takes 1 hour and 10 mins. They have business classes for people interested in majoring in that field. Anyways, considering the distance to the school from Burbank, i'm the only on there who lives in Burbank and there are only 7 kids total from the Valley, everyone else is from L.A. What bothers me, though, is that I have occassionally heard different students there talking about Los Angeles being better than the Valley, and it makes me wonder, how can L.A. possibly be better than the Valley? I mean, all you see in L.A. are homeless people lying around, almost like u see 7 11's in what seems like every other block. Also, from the 3 or 4 times i've been to L.A. for reasons other than going to school, I noticed that there seems to be NO big-name store (e.g. Target, Best Buy) around, only little, individually owned stores, which made me wonder if they buy anything that's not fake and from the alleys (people who live there know what im talking about). And needless to say, the apartments and "houses" of L.A. are garbage and look ghetto, and the people who live there are low to lower-middle class. So, how can L.A. be superior to the Valley (having the Lakers and Dodgers doesn't count).... Read More »
