The transit in Tampa, Florida has a similar issue, but not to the scale of Los Angeles.Oh, Los Angeles is absolutely doomed, there's no denying that
I think it's a city past the breaking point, it's getting to the point where you have to be a millionaire to buy a house there. Renting only until you make it big, city of dreamers
However
The homeless and druggy people in my experience generally kept to themselves, and I felt quite safe most of the time I was there just because for every "crazy" there were a dozen nice and courteous people riding the bus with me
The real problem with the transit, for me, was how convoluted it was. It was the most complex and involved transit system I've ever experienced anywhere and I wasted a lot of time taking wrong turns. I think as far as infrastructure and all that goes, the transit system seems fine. I just don't know why there are so many different companies with different schedules and different lines. It wouldn't have been as nightmarish if my phone's GPS was working properly, I guess, so it's not all on the transit system
I don't think there's a solution to all the problems LA is currently facing. People are being squeezed right now and some of them will be crushed before a correction occurs. That being said, I still found it to be a really pretty area and could easily see why so many people want to live there and don't want to give it up for an easier life somewhere else, like the Midwest or the south
