Can’t believe they created a city after a game

[WinstonSempai]

When you already know the city because you played gta 5

[joseitsme]

You forgot Pasadena, Marina Del Rey, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, The Grove, Loz Feliz, Silverlake.

LA its a dream ive been struggling for 2 years now to get into LA.
wish me good luck ;)

I feel like LA travel guides do not emphasis how far each of these locations are. This video makes it seem like a drive from Malibu to Downtown LA or Hollywood only takes 15 mins. I hope travelers to LA realize just how bad the traffic they are going to experience will be if they do not know what they are doing and the distances they will drive.

Just a heads up for those coming here: never leave during rush hour, avoid the 405, 5, and the 101 if you can, always give yourself plenty of time to get somewhere, and do not rely on LA public transportation. For those renting a car, half of us do not signal when changing lanes.

I'm watching this before moving to L.A. 🙈❤

[ManjuSharma-ienr]

I really wish when I grow up and have enough money I go there with my family and friends... Is it weird that after seeing this video I got motivated to work harder😂

[Riomojo]

This guy didn’t just make a good video, this is an extremely well-made informative video

[michaeldunahee]

Such a well-done video. I was born and raised in LA, and I think you got almost everything right. The only part that was wrong was about the weather in the Spring. I see more disappointment from tourists during these months than at any other time. While the weather is fantastic for most of the year, May and June are notorious for cloudy/foggy weather. The locals call it "June Gloom" and "May Gray" but the tourists are usually surprised.

The amount of work put into this video is insane, I definitely congratulate you guys for being so persistent and up to date! Great

I'm from Costa Rica and I love when I find videos of people talking wonders about this country. It really fill us with joy knowing somebody enjoys it so much visiting this places.
Thank you very much for this amazing video.

[elemanuel]

Love my city. Can't imagine calling anywhere else home! 💛💜

[isaacfaulk]

Dang! The way you're talking about L.A. makes it sound like a fantasy land. I just wanna live there FOREVER just from you talking about it.

[loukaspappas]

Went to Los Angeles for 3 days but I soon realized that it is bigger than I expected, especially without a car, and 3 days weren't enough for even a third of the things I had planned. Travelling by bus from Santa Monica pier to Downtown or Hollywood takes ages. Literally no time for me to visit Malibu or Long Beach or Orange County (Disneyland). You need a solid full week if you wanna visit all or most important spots of the city. Still though, my favorite city in the world. Will definitely be back after covid to complete my list :)

My dad used to travel to California, Los Angeles since 30 years ago and I was born there, it's beautiful in CA cause you can do anything there! 😙😝💞
