Yes.

AnonymousThat is what I miss most in Los Angeles.

You have given us no context. This one could mean that you are presently in LA and miss something from somewhere else.

I don't see how this sentence would imply that I miss something from somewhere else. I am saying that I miss something in LA!

For example, I miss the beautiful weather most in LA. The most thing I miss in/about LA is the beautiful weather.

AnonymousI don't see how this sentence would imply that I miss something from somewhere else.

Then you have to get a little more creative. "in LA" can mean "when I am in LA".

I love snow and cold weather, but now I've moved to LA. Snow is what I miss most in LA.

That's because you are not aware of the ambiguity.

I love my mother's cooking back in Idaho. That is what I miss most in Los Angeles.

I see. But I am saying that I am not in LA presently and that is why I miss its beautiful weather.

So do you mean if I use 'in', it implies that I am in LA, but if I use 'about', it implies that I am in another place.

Oh I see now. What about the sentence with 'about'? Does the use of 'about' make it clear that the thing I miss is in LA?

AnonymousSo do you mean if I use 'in', it implies that I am in LA, but if I use 'about', it implies that I am in another place.

I don't know if you're talking to me or to Mr. M. because you've quoted nothing that could help us determine that, but in my case, no, I don't mean that. "in" implies either that you are in LA, or the thing you miss is there, or both

AnonymousDoes the use of 'about' make it clear that the thing I miss is in LA?

Yes. "about" can't indicate your location in that sentence. So you're talking about what you miss about LA, or what you miss concerning LA.

CJ

So neither 'about or in' indicate my location. But only 'about' indicates that the thing I miss is concerning or related to an actual thing in LA. Would that be correct?

I having a hard time understanding this. That is why I am repeating.
