Proclaiming LA as “the center of the world’s creative and cultural output” feels like a very LA opinion to have.

Literally billions of people exist outside of LA, and while LA does have a lot of cultural influence generally, you might be surprised how much of the world’s culture and creativity happens outside of it. At the very least NYC probably has a strong argument to make here, not to mention places like Hong Kong, Beijing, or Tokyo.

And with all the money I save not living in LA I can actually visit those places!

Space may be the final frontier, but it's made in a Hollywood basement.
