Your perception doesn't match reality. LA was in the midst of the PCP epidemic in the early '80s with drive-by shootings and turfs wars between street gangs like the Crips and Bloods. I know it's just a movie, but watch the movie "Colors" from the mid '80s for a taste of what was going on in LA at that time. The violent crime rate was double in the '80s what it is now and "Illegals" were every bit the problem back then that they are now.. As for "livability" of LA in the early '80s, smog was so much worse than now, and gasoline prices and interest rates for cars and homes were through the roof with the prime rate pushing 20%. Yeah, there were fewer cars and people in SoCal back then, but there were also fewer freeways and the ones that were there had fewer lanes, no diamond lanes, etc. I lived there then and now and there are things I miss about the '80s, but also things I don't miss. Both then and now have pros and cons.

One night a couple of years later the belts along with the size and quality of the Electra saved me in a head on collision with a drunk driver in a Chevrolet suburban. The general driving population was just too dumb and lazy to buckle up. My Electra had separate lap and shoulder belts with two separate buckles to fasten which most thought was a terrible inconvenience.

That Impala at 0:40 looks so badass !

Cool cars. I love em!

The vid. is showing a 1984 lincoln mark vii, 80s chevy impala police car and 80s datsun pickup!

It's kind of amazing how much things changed back then in terms of clothing, cars, etc. Like in this video from the late '70s, those characteristics are radically different than say just 10 years later in the late '80s, which was radically different than another 10 years later in the late '90s. But if you look at the way things are evolving now, I would argue that fashion, cars, and other elements of design that are typically products of their time are far less different than 10 or even 15 years ago as they used to be. Does that make sense?

The days before Downtown L.A. was a sea of high rise lofts and condos.

Those downtown skyscrapers at the end looked _really_ slummy. I wouldn't have thought it was even L.A. if I didn't recognize the Westin Bonaventure hotel.

LA’s and NYC’s days as the top cities are long gone IMO. They had so much diversity, affordability and just such a amazing aura to them. The flavor of the cities is what made them great. But I think it’s over.

As a life long NYer of 50 years, agree that NYC is crap these days but it was actually a lot less diverse back in the 70s/80s. It was still vast majority white neighborhoods. Irish/Italian/Jews/German/Polish/Greeks. Every hood had a certain "white" flavor for sure. But nowadays very few authentic NYers left. Mostly foreigners, wealthy transients and poor illegal aliens.
