That really is beautiful. I sometimes wake up melancholy from lucid dreams of living in that area (or Tokyo), in a home like that, with a view like that. Without a doubt, it's a Mega Ultra Hyper Supreme-caliber First World "problem", but still, it would be nice to have money. :)
I see you and raise one Skyline Residence.

That's a view of Century City, not downtown Los Angeles. Taken from somewhere near Griffith Park Observatory or the Hollywood Hills neighborhood. Nice area with lots of houses with similar views.
Also taken on a clear day. The smog usually makes LA look listless, if not filthy.
Not much smog anymore.
The problem with living in the hills is that it's hard to walk or bike anywhere to do your errands. You are stuck living on a narrow winding road that's barely safe for cars.
