My last 10 years I lived in the LA area never went back to the beach...Parking became horrific and expensive, can’t have fires on the beach, get arrested for drinking a beer...It became evident low life, gangsters, pedophiles and homeless love beaches. Been there, done that, left there.
My brother lived in North Hollywood for decades and never went to the beach. He claimed that LA’s biggest asset was it was easy to be gay(he’s gay). Besides that, you are waiting for the next earthquake or riot
It takes all day to go to Malibu or Venice from say Burbank or Glendale and back after a few hours at beach
