This whole thread is silly. The benefit you get in L.A. in exchange for the sprawl and traffic is that it's generally a credited city for middle class living, and part of that is cheap-to-mid-price restaurants. TBF, L.A. does suck at pizza relative to its overall prowess in this domain. E.g. the burger renaissance in L.A. has produced a lot of good spots all over town. L.A. is one of the few cities outside of NYC where you can actually find really good jewish deli food or a badass Italian deli. Lots of good options for basically all kinds of Asian food (Sushi, Korean, Vietnamese, didn't find especially awesome Chinese, but I'm sure it's available). And of course lots of excellent Mexican food (dominates all NorCal in this respect, and probably only San Diego and Texas can make legit claims of being better).
OTOH, fine dining wise L.A. will never be able to compete with NYC or even the bay area (i.e. counting both SF and Napa), though it still falls well above the median of tier two U.S. cities like Boston and Philly.

Fair, I suppose I should've said upper middle class, but my point is what's best on a decent 10-year lawyer salary. The LA real estate market provided one of the best opportunities of our life times for upper middle class people to build great sums of wealth in the aftermath of the financial crisis. The party is essentially over now, but if you had any decent savings in SoCal in the 09-11 period you would have grabbed up a bargain (or two) if you had any sense, and in doing so would've set yourself up with an asset that has already appreciated immensely. It will provide YoY returns for decades that are certain to be huge, especially when compared to cost of renting, and especially if you're upper middle class (i.e. 200k in household income per year) and can't take advantage of a lot of other tax breaks. There could still be opportunities for upper middle class people to find good entries in the near-term future as PE firms who bought a ton of distressed properties might curb the pace of price escalation as they sell off, and will often be selling reliably at the precise moment when a neighboorhood turns from primarily renters to primarily owner occupied (i.e. the perfect time to buy in, because the PE firm isn't going to actually fix up the property, but you can and your neighborhood will continue appreciating as a result). Long-term RE will be an impediment to non-upper class life style in LA (just as it is in MFH, DC, SF and Boston already), but for people our age it represents a uniquely huge opportunity, especially if you are handy at all and can handle a fixer upper without spending a ton on tradesmen.
The schools are generally shit, though, that's true. But it's also true in every other major city (SF, DC, Philly, Chicago OFS) other than sort of NYC, but not really.

i don't bother w/ local LA pizza joints. pizzeria mozza doesn't count since it's fancy gourmet pizza and not the basic pie.
domino's is actually pretty good, as long as you're not expecting a ny-style slice.

eh, there are some ok small pizza joints that do it right, but it's a water thing
I think there are a couple places that actually get the (hard?) water shipped in or something , saw a show about it awhile back
