Lets not forget San Francisco and West Hollywood......some of the most expensive property out there but they will run you out just as quickly if you don't suck dick or take it up the asspipe.
It never ceases to strike me funny when people say these things having no personal experience with what they claim to be fact. Being from sunny Southern California, I once lived in West Hollywood, in an neighborhood up the hill from Sunset Strip nicknamed the "Swish Alps" otherwise called Mt. Olympus. Despite it's handle, lots of very influential and very wealthy straight folks lived there too.
Mount Olympus is a prominent neighborhood in the Hollywood Hills area of the city of Los Angeles, California. It is a community of single family residences founded in 1969 by developer Russ Vincent. It is bounded by Hollywood Boulevard, Laurel Canyon Boulevard, Willow Glen Road, and Nichols Canyon Road.
