Have MM bank LA interview. How do I answer why LA if I have no serious ties?

Like I obviously like the city and the bank, and would love to work in the city. But I have no serious LA ties and I know that's usually important. Go to east coast school, etc. I always wanted to move out west to work, but I expected to do that after like an MBA. Any ideas or interesting bullet points would be helpful.

 

I thought this thread was going to be about how you were despy to get any IB job so you could relocate anywhere. But you actually like LA and would like to be there. In that case, be honest. Just not too honest like don't talk about how you might go to Beverly Hills to go visit Jennifer Hewitt.

Will update my computer soon and leave Incognito so I will disappear forever. How did I achieve Neanderthal by trolling? Some people are after me so need to close account for safety.
 

Yea i figured that being genuine is better than trying to make some crazy mental gymnastics. I'm really involved with film and entertainment on campus, was wondering if I could bring that into my answer sense it is LA. sadly the firm is only a few coverage groups, so I don't think it makes great sense
