The city known for its glamorous Hollywood scene and weather, LA boasts a population of over 4 million people, making it the second most in the United States. It's home to world-renowned tourist destinations such as Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and the famous Hollywood Boulevard. However, the city also has a reputation for high crime rates, making it a hassle in many instances such as deciding when to go out or buy a new home.
