             Los Angeles is a city in southwestern California, and is located on
             the Pacific Ocean. In the United States, Los Angeles ranks as the second
             most populous city in the country, second only after New York City. The
             city's climate has two seasons only, which are summer and winter. The
             extreme climate conditions in the city make it ideal for both industrial
             and agricultural industries to proliferate and succeed in the city.
             Demographic information about the city includes a multitude of immigrants
             as its primary inhabitants and citizens. Because of better climate and

             for jobs, leisure, and recreation makes LA an ideal place for the working

             serious environmental problems, such as traffic problems, air, noise, and
             water pollutions, and the occurrence of earthquakes in the city (since
             California is part of the country's earthquake belt). LA is a livable city
             because of the environmental and industrial assets that it has. In order
             to sustain its livability, the city administration formulates and
             implements programs that aim to develop the city while not compromising its
             environmental surroundings. Examples of these programs are traffic
             regulations aiming to prevent vehicle congestion in the city's business and
             commercial districts; water conservation to prevent exhaustion of the
             city's water reserve, as well as prevent the occurrence of air and land
             pollution as a result of water shortage; and building programs to decrease
             the physical damage and deaths when earthquakes occur within the city.
