Los Angeles, California... I need some info

[Neo]

Hey all, I was wondering if you could help me out here...

I need to know which parts of LA are the up-market rich areas
and which are the gangster ghetto areas.

all help would be greatly appreciated!

I can't be of much help, but clicking around here could possibly answer your question a bit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_districts_and_neighborhoods_of_Los_Angeles . Still, I guess it'd be good to get the lowdown from a general Los Angelian, or whatever you call 'em.

Thank you lowee! that helped quite a lot actualy :)

what all are you doing in LA?

south-central LA is pretty rough if I recall correctly. there's the USC campus, and then there's its immediate surroundings.

(sorry, my main area of American expertise lies about seven hours east on the 10)

I am doing some study on urban culture and I chose LA to be compared with Sydney.
