Different strokes for different folks. I'd slit my wrists if I had to live in a place as overpopulated and congested as L.A. is! I have a buddy who lives in Dillon, MT, so I've been through Butte a few times, and I found it completely charming. In fact, where I live right now is starting to resemble L.A. with all the urban sprawl and traffic. I live near Salt Lake City, UT. It was great here about 15 years ago, but now it's way too crowded. I guess I'm just allergic to traffic jams and so many people in the way that you can't go anywhere without tripping over them. If I could find a way to make a decent living there, I'd move somewhere like Butte without batting an eye! All the old mining stuff you see all over the place there is pretty cool. It's also nice to be able to punch your car up to over 100 mph on the freeway without more SUV's than you shake a stick at being in the way! :o)
