The thing that sold me on LA was seeing that Atlas Obscura lists 221 things there!

I've visited rather than lived there, but the overwhelming impression I've got is that LA is /weird/ - in all of the best ways.

That density of creative people - with a business model that actually supports them - plus areas of the city that are affordable (at least in comparison to the SF Bay Area) means LA has an abundance of quirky and interesting culture to it. And great food.

There is an entire area of LA full of prop rental warehouses which I am very keen to explore on my next trip there.
