Core Rules
1. Identify User Context First
- - Role: Tourist, resident, tech worker, student, creative/entertainment
- Timeline: Short visit, planning to move, already there
- Load relevant auxiliary file for details
2. Car Reality is Critical
LA is a car city. Period.
- - 95% of life requires a car
- Metro is improving but limited
- Traffic: 405, 101, 10 are brutal at rush hour
- Budget $400-600/month for car costs
See
transport.md for survival guide.
3. Weather Microclimates
| Myth | Reality |
|---|
| "Always sunny" | Coastal = June Gloom (May-July fog) |
| "Same weather everywhere" |
Valley is 10-15°F HOTTER than coast |
| "Never rains" | Rainy season Dec-Mar |
Best weather: September-November (warmest, clearest)
4. Current Data
| Item | Range |
|---|
| 1BR rent | $2,000-3,000 (varies wildly by area) |
| Senior SWE salary |
$180K-350K total comp |
| Car insurance | $150-300/month (HIGH) |
| Tacos | $2-4 each |
5. Tourist Traps
- - Skip: Hollywood Walk of Fame (dirty, disappointing), Venice Beach boardwalk (sketchy)
- Do: Griffith Observatory (FREE, best views), Getty Center (FREE, world-class)
- Book ahead: Universal Studios, popular restaurants
6. Neighborhood Spread
LA is HUGE. Where you live = your lifestyle.
| Profile | Best Areas |
|---|
| Young tech workers | Santa Monica, Culver City, Playa Vista |
| Entertainment industry |
West Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silver Lake |
| Families | Pasadena, South Bay, Studio City |
| Budget-conscious | Valley (Sherman Oaks, Burbank), Koreatown |
| Beach lifestyle | Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, Venice |
7. Safety Varies Dramatically
- - Generally safe but very block-dependent
- Areas to research carefully: parts of DTLA, Hollywood at night
- Car break-ins: less than SF but still common in tourist areas
See
safety.md for specifics.
LA-Specific Traps
- - "I don't need a car" — You do. Metro is improving but not enough.
- Hollywood glamour — Hollywood Blvd is grimy and disappointing.
- "Traffic isn't that bad" — It is. Plan 1.5-2x Google Maps time.
- Valley = undesirable — Actually great value, more space, family-friendly.
- Beach = best living — Coastal fog May-July. Valley is sunnier.
- Everything is close — LA is 50+ miles across. Plan your life by area.
- Universal over Disneyland — Disneyland is better but in Anaheim (1+ hr).

核心规则
1. 首先识别用户背景
- - 角色：游客、居民、科技工作者、学生、创意/娱乐从业者
- 时间线：短期访问、计划搬家、已在此地
- 加载相关辅助文件获取详细信息
2. 汽车现实至关重要
洛杉矶是汽车之城。毋庸置疑。
- - 95%的生活需要汽车
- 地铁系统在改善但仍有局限
- 交通：405、101、10号公路在高峰时段极其拥堵
- 每月汽车相关预算需$400-600
详见 transport.md 生存指南。
3. 天气微气候
| 误区 | 现实 |
|---|
| 总是晴天 | 沿海地区 = 六月阴霾（5-7月有雾） |
| 各地天气一样 |
山谷区比沿海热10-15°F |
| 从不下雨 | 雨季12月-3月 |
最佳天气： 9月-11月（最温暖、最晴朗）
4. 当前数据
| 项目 | 范围 |
|---|
| 一居室租金 | $2,000-3,000（因区域差异巨大） |
| 高级软件工程师薪资 |
总包$180K-350K |
| 汽车保险 | $150-300/月（高昂） |
| 墨西哥卷饼 | 每个$2-4 |
5. 旅游陷阱
- - 避开：好莱坞星光大道（脏乱、令人失望）、威尼斯海滩步道（治安堪忧）
- 推荐：格里菲斯天文台（免费、最佳景观）、盖蒂中心（免费、世界级）
- 提前预订：环球影城、热门餐厅
6. 社区分布
洛杉矶非常大。住在哪里 = 你的生活方式。
| 人群画像 | 最佳区域 |
|---|
| 年轻科技工作者 | 圣莫尼卡、卡尔弗城、普拉亚维斯塔 |
| 娱乐行业从业者 |
西好莱坞、洛斯费利兹、银湖 |
| 家庭 | 帕萨迪纳、南湾、影城 |
| 预算有限者 | 山谷区（谢尔曼奥克斯、伯班克）、韩国城 |
| 海滩生活方式 | 圣莫尼卡、曼哈顿海滩、威尼斯 |
7. 安全状况差异巨大
- - 总体安全但高度依赖具体街区
- 需谨慎研究的区域：洛杉矶市中心部分地区、夜间的好莱坞
- 车辆盗窃：比旧金山少，但在旅游区仍常见
详见 safety.md。
洛杉矶特有陷阱
- - 我不需要车 — 你需要。地铁在改善但远远不够。
- 好莱坞魅力 — 好莱坞大道又脏又令人失望。
- 交通没那么糟 — 确实很糟。预计比谷歌地图时间多1.5-2倍。
- 山谷区=不理想 — 实际上性价比高、空间大、适合家庭。
- 海滩=最佳居住地 — 沿海地区5-7月有雾。山谷区更晴朗。
- 所有地方都很近 — 洛杉矶横跨50多英里。按区域规划生活。
- 环球影城优于迪士尼 — 迪士尼更好但在阿纳海姆（1小时以上车程）。
