Libby, your article is misinforming people of the many places that you wrote. To start, you have done a poor research of the every states mentioned; let start with the United States of America, simply as it's title unity of states. Each states are as if they were their own country with it's own major cities, history,way of life, etc ... An yes we need to learn to respect the opinions of others because we want them to come here and appreciate what we have to offer.
So Lily, when you write an article of any states you should not take it from a ONE negative perspective at all. Of course you are allowed to give it's negative aspect as part to keep vigilant when visiting. For starer with Reno, Nevada ... you should have done your homework in acquiring knowledge how this city started and see its' beauty. It is a nice place to enjoy a more relax atmosphere and de-stress your being in a happy mode. In regard to Salt Lake City, you contradict as how this place was praised as one of the best city to bring-up families, it has a lot to offer throughout the year! Now, in regard to Los Angeles CA. You must be envious. This one city that has beauty beyond due to it's people from all over the world. It is right that it does have smog/fog but it is not every day or that every single soul here are snobs. This is one city where you can bump into actors on bus, train, restaurants, shops and they are as everyone of us. This city have so many wonderful communities from all over ... Aside of the museums in DC, L.A. has been the only city that I know that offer free admission in various museums, parks, campgrounds, free events ... L.a. has so much to offer you just have to look a bit harder and take chance to go and enjoy new things in very unique sub-cities .... There is so much more! YOu probably be there life time and not finish to do every bit of things of fun!
So Lily, do spend more than a few minutes, hours or days before judging a place, it's people and their communities.
