disadvantages
- really divided culturally. one part rich and white, from all around the world and country. the other parts either poor latino or poor black.
- protesters come and muck up everything in the city.
- traffic is TERRIBLE, and everywhere outside the city is sprawl.
- lots of the people here are political lackeys, and about as fun as a wet blanket.
- a lot of the people in the world hate what your city stands for, and you don't have anything to do with it.
- expensive
advantages
