The entirety of California is just like LA now.
This is a war zone - if you are riding buses or trains, or even just walk down the street, there is a whole bunch of aggressive weirdos looking for fight. Many of them are on drugs or having mental problems. Pepper spray is a must.
I've lived in LA for 30+ years and live/work Beverly Hills/West LA and Downtown LA. I also traverse all areas of the city and have spoken to countless victims of crime and have myself been victim more than several times over the past three decades and have recently been victim two times within the past 14 months (robberies/home invasions, assault on sidewalk, vehicular assault, criminal threats) -- primarily in broad daylight.
Crime and muggings have escalated rapidly in the past several years across the city (from Beverly Hills to Mid City to Downtown). Specifically, "drive by" muggings (someone hops out of a car, beats you down and robs you then hops back in the car and drives off) and home invasions (solo or in teams) both at day and night. The increased cost of living and displacement due to gentrification of select neighborhoods has contributed greatly to this increase in crime.
LA IS IN NO WAY "MODERATELY SAFE". Poverty and mental health issues - and flat out career criminals - are running this town.
