You probably just see the nice parts... the Palm Springs... and probably not downtown LA. You probably have this image that the USA is a lot like Calgary, and really its not. While you do see a nice shiny building and
arena here and there, a lot of areas really ghetto. i.e. walk a few blocks in either direction of HP Pavillian in SJ and you'll see why.
Calgary is honestly a very nice city, a large part because of social infrastructure and more developing from community to community rather then just spending your boatload of cash on, well as you would describe these for these crappy locations, a shiny building and arena here and there....
