The Reagan Library is not exactly in LA.  California has become a state that is the equivalent of a 3rd world country, and I'd say overall, English is the 2nd language.  I would be thrilled to give California the status of a separate nation.

FSI

The are going to be great new stadiums to see games; there are many great museums and exhibits; the Getty, the Norton Simon; the Reagan Library has international art exhibits that are not political; and the La Brea Tar Pits for fossils, and the Museum of Natural History, etc., etc., to name a few. Hollywood is still there, too!

Re: Corbin

One can visit Southern Calif and LA without staying or visiting in Skid Row. Garcetti is begging for funding, whether or not he's right to do so is another issue; it's always about the money. It's sickening that there are so many homeless, and that they are on the streets. No one wants them. I don't. Would you?

Outreach programs staff tell us (in my family) that many don't want to be housed; they want to live off the grid. They don't want LE controlling their behaviors. They homeless need services, as well as to get off of the streets. They often aren't aware of how much help they need.

The powers that be should never have cut MH funding and services, nor should they have closed most of the mental hospitals in CA many, many years ago.

Rent a car & driver if you want to live through the ordeal.   And don't go near:
