Image of Los AngelesBy Amanda Gonzalez Los Angeles is a beautiful growing city; however attractive and comfortable housing are important but can be difficult to find. Despite the crowdedness of Los Angeles, people tune in to modern architecture and are attracted to live and visit here. In this photo, the architecture is very simple and modern. The colors are bright on one side, and the majority of the building is a light brown shade. At first glance, it seems like an apartment because of the jagged lines. I choose this angle because it seems almost abstract. The jagged lines made by the balconies seem like Lego blocks; it's almost like a toy. This large scale dwarfs the humans, but if you look closely you may notice the pots, flowers, and chairs reveal human activity and make this apartment seem more of a home. Living in an apartment in Los Angeles can affect the way people live and interact with each other. Being able to hear your neighbors on the other side of your wall is "Los Angeles living." This apartment complex seems substantially uncomfortable. |

On the other hand, Los Angeles apartments have their good side. Having close neighbors in the same building can open up opportunities. You are able to meet new people and make friends, and in some ways it can be safer: it creates its own community. Some people even think it is a smarter choice to live in an apartment rather than living in a house and paying a high mortgage with a risk of debt.
Living in a city like Los Angeles, everyone is in a rush and on the move. Having tall apartment complexes around is a plus, especially when they have a modern look. Los Angeles does have a lot of different people, food, backgrounds, and neighborhoods, but all are vibrant, lively, and full of color. Los Angeles is a place to be and is open to changes, and it shows that more and more every day.
