08 Los Angeles
The City of Angels has long been known for putting a primary focus on appearances — after all, the city's main industry involves the creation and promotion of fantasy. The country's most physically appealing people often wind up in Los Angeles, and this generates a culture where outward appearances are valued at a higher level than a person's actual inner workings or personality. In a city where everyone seems to be trying to get ahead, residents often have little to no time for those who have no ability to help advance their careers. Southern California offers an abundance of natural beauty as well, so visitors may be better off finding a secluded beach away from the dazzling crowds and enjoying what nature has to offer instead of trying to navigate the bumpy ride of the city's appearance-driven narrative.
