I also walk through this filth in downtown Los Angeles each day. You have no idea. I took this job because my company made me an offer I simply couldnt refuse and that increased salary changed my life. Unfortunately, it include some issues that did not end up on the plus side of things.
Downtown Los Angeles smells like ass. seriously. It reeks of filth, garbage, urine and feces. Include typhus into that mix now. Lovely. not exactly thrilled. Thank you citizens of this effed-up state, for keeping the dems in power here. Ronald Reagan would cry if he saw what this place has become.
Get your resume out there and escape California ASAP.
