@@esetek It is now. That's why it's a shithole! Historically, Los Angeles was an old Spanish mission, and hardly any squatty Mexican resided there until the 20th century. In fact very few Mexican citizens lived north of the Rio grande. That is why Americans were invited down into Texas to settle & ranch in the 1830's. Of course this led to a little famous incident you may have heard of.

The air quality is a million times better than it was back in the '60's and '70's. Just like Kendall Evans said I can remember playing on the playground at recess and it hurt to breathe in deeply. We also had smog alerts where we had to go into the gym and watch films instead of playing on the playground at recess. We used to go to LAX to drop off and pick up my grandparents and we would watch the jets take off. Thick BLACK smoke and exhaust poured out of those huge jets. You don't see that anymore and that's a good thing. If things had stayed the same and car makers had not been forced to make low emission cars that take unleaded gas and if factories had not been made to comply with air quality standards L.A. would not be an area where anybody would be able to live in today.

Just checked up on all the license plates in this clip. "700 KFT" (a normal passenger plate, not personalized) was still registered to that 1974 Dodge Dart (at 3:47) until at least 2002 when it had its last smog check! It could still even be on the road, since pre-1976 cars are no longer required to pass smog checks.

Born and raised in L.A., had a happy life growing up in Long Beach. I Loved every corner of California. Navy took me from CA for many years and when I got orders back there in 1984 it had changed so drastically I couldn't recognize the state I grew up in. I recently flew back to San Diego for a grandniece's wedding, and even though the I-15 corridor has gotten unbelievably built up and the population taxed and priced outta their homes, the state itself has the same appeal it had when I was younger. I'd love to set the clock back on its politics, because the state itself is still beautiful and has everything every other state has put together. I miss California; but in the shape it's in today I could never move back.

I lived in Long Beach in '77. I would take the bus up to the Strip on weekends and see bands at the Roxy, the Whisky, and shows at the Forum, Santa Monica Civic Center, like Bob Marley, Rory Gallagher, Frank Zappa. Then I moved to West Hollywood in '79 for a year and worked in Century City in one of the buildings at 1:31. I remember hitchiking down Santa Monica Blvd to get to work during a bus strike, and I remember the gas shortage where you could only buy gas on odd/even days, according to the number on your license plate.
