There are too many people here which makes traffic terrible. The area isn't generally safe, as there are gang members in many neighborhoods. I find that there is a lot of noise at any given point throughout the day, such as fireworks on a Tuesday night. It's really disturbing for those who want peace and quiet, if I have work the next morning.
What I like is the variety of different spanish and filipino foods and restaurants out here.
