I know a lot of people hate Santa Monica, Venice, and Los Angeles County. Over the last decade, I've lived here for three and a half years, all in spits and spurts.
Me – I love the food, the people, the weather... but most of all, I love the architecture, and the plants and trees. Toronto, my home city, is very drab, with so many of the homes being cubes of grey and beige. The variety of house-shapes and colors in LA is wonderful. I passed all these places on a single day's walk.
