5 things that annoy Los Angeles: the opinion of a Russian-speaking immigrant
“The main advantage of the United States can be formulated this way: everything is for the people. But some typically American aspects of life really irritate me,” the author writes. blog "Queen in the USA" on "Yandex.Zen".
Next - from the first person.
1. Underdeveloped public transport and an abundance of cars
The life of a pedestrian is hard and unsightly. The metro covers the districts of the district very selectively, the intervals between trains are huge, and the buses simply have a weak route network. And the prices are not cheap. Dubious pleasure.
2. Parks
The vegetation here is more diverse than in Russia, but much less abundant. Apparently, this is what makes Americans call any place one meter by one meter with three trees and a baseball field a park. You can count the real spacious, densely planted parks in the area on one hand, and entry there is usually paid.
3. Architecture
All of Los Angeles is squat hangar-type buildings plus residential complexes that look like low-rise dormitories. And only the private sector in wealthy areas can boast of the sophistication of buildings. But they are hidden from the eyes of ordinary people by fences and bushes.

4. Measures of calculation
It feels like one day the Americans decided: let’s do everything like in Europe, only in reverse. Meters and kilometers, grams and kilograms, liters, Celsius, a toilet flush button, old and new latches on windows, a 24-hour time format, sockets for plugs with round pins and standard 220 Volts - go all this to the Old World.
5. Shower
The shower in all the houses here is screwed to the wall. You have to squirm like a snake so that water pours on you in all the right places. Cleaning the bathtub itself, when water is pouring from the wall at one point, is quite a task. And on top of that, it is often impossible to change the water pressure. The mixer only works to change the degree. And if you want hot water in a thin stream, then pour from the kettle.
