Los Angeles AUTO INSURANCE (CA)
Los Angeles, California is located on the south Pacific coast of the United States. It is the second most populous city in the U.S. and the most populous in the state of California. Approximately 3.84-million permanent residents are spread out over its 469 square miles.
The city attracts many travelers every year. It is an international center of business, trade, culture, media, science, technology, and as the home of Hollywood, entertainment.
Due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, Los Angeles is a site of geologic instability. The city experiences approximately 10,000 earthquakes annually. While most of these are too minor to be felt, Los Angeles will likely experience California’s next major earthquake along the San Andreas Fault. Parts of the city are also vulnerable to tsunami and southern California is prone to widespread fires. Accordingly, city planning is held to strict building codes to limit damage from natural disasters.
Los Angeles is also subject to heavy smog and other pollution. Low annual precipitation levels contribute to the build-up of these pollutants. Los Angeles is consistently ranked among the most polluted cities in the U.S. Steps are being taken by the city to combat this pollution and clean Los Angeles up.
Overall crime in Los Angeles has decreased over the past decades but organized crime remains a problem. Because it is so ethnically diverse the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and as four specialized police agencies, actively work to achieve a greater level of ethnic harmony in the city.
