Query: Antiquated representation of LA

This book presents a very antiquated and negatively biased view of LA. I am left doubtful if many of the scenarios in the book were as "bad" as the author leads the reader to believe.It is naive on the part of the author to separate the actual problems of LA from other large American cities, and present them as mutually exclusive to LA.This book panders to a seemingly worldwide hatred of LA, and a kind of love affair with the notion of a eventual LA apocalypse.What a disappointment that the author investigates no deeper than what the popular opinion of Los Angeles is, and panders to this misconception.
