    The other votes so far are wrong.

    Compton isn’t Los Angeles. HTH.

    Neither is Colorado Street bridge in the OP, but it still warmed my heart to see my neighborhood on a HH post.

    Is there a song about getting out of there because the city is a fucking shithole mess?

    Listen the song by X "Los Angeles". It's the best tune about getting the hell out of LA.

    If it's in LA County it counts.

    The only correct ansewer is, was, and always will be, Hotel California.

    In 2008, Felder described the writing of the lyrics:

    Don Henley and Glenn wrote most of the words. All of us kind of drove into L.A. at night. Nobody was from California, and if you drive into L.A. at night... you can just see this glow on the horizon of lights, and the images that start running through your head of Hollywood and all the dreams that you have, and so it was kind of about that... what we started writing the song about.

    Henley decided on the theme of Hotel California, noting how The Beverly Hills Hotel had become a literal and symbolic focal point of their lives at that time. Henley said of their personal and professional experience in LA: "We were getting an extensive education, in life, in love, in business. Beverly Hills was still a mythical place to us. In that sense it became something of a symbol, and the 'Hotel' the locus of all that LA had come to mean for us. In a sentence, I'd sum it up as the end of the innocence, round one."
