You just can't get that warm,cozy, and safe feeling in the city like you do in these areas.
Okay, I guess I was pretty much wrong about that then... (Sorry)
But looking at pictures of Cinco Ranch makes me feel like it's a pretty boring area...

It aint fair how yall always stacking metro burbs and cities in with LA and then compare them to everybody else. Yall just need to let the city (LA) stand alone like a man. Yall wonder why peeps call LA an overgrown suburb and this is why. Too much sh-t gets lumped in.
Well maybe the cities out here in the east have boring suburbs. Whats wrong with using suburbs. You're not gonna be in the city all the time. Sometimes you wanna do things outside the city. Im from the South(west palm fl and austin tx origianlly) so I know what it's like to have sprawly cities that are the laughing stock of the big urban cities up north. So I dont see why everyone always hates on LA just because it sprawls. And so what if LA is an overgrown suburb it's the most entertaining suburb in the United States. That overgrown suburb is more fun than some full grown urban cities in the north.
