Interesting quote on Los Angeles

The landscape,like Los Angeles itself,is traditional.Impermanence haunts the city ,with its mushroom industries---the aircraft perpetually becoming obsolete,the oil which must one day be exhausted,the movies which fill America's theatres for six months and are forgotten.Many of its houses---especially the grander ones--have a curiously disturbing atmosphere,a kind of psychological dankness which smells of anxiety,overdrafts,uneasy lust,whisky,divorce and lies.-Christopher Isherwood(1904-1986).
