I was born in Los Angeles and beginning in the 1950's when I began to meet New Yorkers and other immigrants to this area became accustomed to their unending complaints about Los Angeles. People from Chicago and even from Cleveland, if you can imagine that, became bilious when the subject was Los Angeles. What they failed to notice was that they were now living in the city they despised so heartily. Those of us who live here have learned how to deal with chronic complainers- ignore them.
