About Los Angeles
Second-largest US city, on the Southern California coast, sprawling across a basin between mountains and ocean. Entertainment, aerospace and Pacific trade all converge here.
Population about 12,800,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Los Angeles is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
