Did you ever wonder what it's like being an Angeleno. I know I did, until I read an article by a famous Angeleno. He shares his love for the city, the culture and what he eats. He even shares a personal story with you. Let's start with what Angelenos do to have fun. You might be surprised at the surprising things you learn.
Angelenos
The city's beloved and enduring denominator is Billy Joel's "Los Angelenos". The song first appeared on Billy Joel’s 1974 Streetlife Serenade albums and then was recorded live by Songs In the Attic. It is a fun and sarcastic commentary on Los Angeles culture in 1970s. Like "I've Loved These Days," it lambastes transplanted Midwestern ladies for bringing their "New York cowboys" to the city. It is also a snarky reference to the city's electric baby boom.
Los Angeles has a growing homeless population, in addition to the famous Hollywood elite. This housing crisis has thrown Los Angeles into a humanitarian and environmental crisis. A growing group of Angelenos working together to fix the problem and reverse the consequences of climate changes is helping to alleviate the crisis. From Venice Beach Boardwalk you can see a large homeless encampment. Other smaller encampments can often be found on highway bridge crossings, or in bustling Japantown. There is a shortage of housing in the city, especially among low-income families. California currently has over 3.5million homes available, but it is not sufficient to provide enough housing for the city's residents.
According to Oxford English Dictionary (OED), the term "Angeleno", first appeared in 1888. California of the South was written by the authors of Angeleno. This is a common name for Los Angeles residents. OED notes the ending of the word is a'regular formation' today. Angeleno can still be used to refer residents of Los Angeles. This term is used in Los Angeles to refer to residents. Its use in English-speaking countries is evident.
