Bye Bye CA! Left in early 2000, for Marrow of the Mountains in the midwest! Jeremiah Johnson (Robert Redford Movie) Never looked back!

Great video. Make sure you get a quote from your insurance agent before you buy also because insurance is a nightmare in the mountains. You have to go through the fair plan and most cases and then add an additional liability policy separately.

Do lenders require a special fire insurance? What is a typical cost for insurance annually?

OC is good for the beginning and end of life...LA is good for somewhere in between (20s). Certain areas in North OC (Cypress, La Palma, and Los Alamitos) may just be the best of both worlds.

The ones that hate it are broke or too poor to stay so they get bitter and angry and strike out at the state beause what else can they do except scream into the wilderness. It's 68 degrees here today in Laguna Beach in December.

I’m going to view homes tomorrow. My loan officer said they can give me a 6.1% rate.

"The American dream" is a scam. I keep doing the math. It doesn't add up to benefit you. If you have to do it, make it a 15-year mortgage with 20% down. If you can't, just rent.

"Best kept secret?"

THANK YOU!

I'm from the south and I'm going back to California. I can't stand the South. There are better services in California LA/ Atlanta is HORRIBLE on SO MANY LEVELS!!!

“It’s not too bad on the 405”…. Are you checking the distance on Google maps with airplane mode on!?!?

The only BLAH thing about Glassell Park is you in it. You know nothing about it as seen in your lame video, and that's good, let's keep it that way. You want potential clients try not to act so snotty. BTW, you were walking in Eagle Rock mostly, not Glassell Park. Do the research before posting these videos; so obvious you came here once "to do a video" and threw the footage together. You might not want to insult the very people that you want to be their listing agent.

Sherman Oaks and Studio City are nicely located.

Sherman Oaks! Hey there was even a sitcom about it back in the day!

High pollution, homelessness, high crime, the prevalence of the drug trade in SoCal, a cost of living crisis that more than cancels out any high paying jobs, traffic, overcrowding, the fact that the only two types of weather are hot and muggy or furnace, 1 in 3 people in California are certifiably insane, no good pizza in the entire state, proximity to Reno and Las Vegas, 500+ volcanoes, several of which are considered “high” or “very high” threats, lots of famous serial killers, etc. Yeah, California really is a Utopia.

He claims to have lived in the area. He hasn't done it in at least 20 years, or he had no real experience in the area that he remembered accurately.

Anyone who thinks that the 405 S is easily driven does NOT know the traffic flows. Evening Santa Monica to Marina del Rey (7 miles) is a 45 minute drive.

I used to live in manor drive in Hawthorne and I had friends on this big blue corner house in manor drive I miss it so much

Absolutely love your vibe energy and how you deliver information! Thank you this helps a lot excited to be moving soon hopefully! This was very beneficial for me and people annoy me but you helped me finish the video without hating it and actually love it. Thank you ! Keep making those! Also love your sense of humor.

Moving to Santa Monica from Scottsdale AZ in 2 weeks and very excited and looking forward to it! Thanks for the great video! 👍🏽

Dude I was born there

the best weather the best landscape, theres no other like it but you cant blame people leaving because of high prices

Great review. Spot on about Santa Monica and Culver City. If not for the price, Santa Monica wins over Culver City.

damn lived in Los Feliz and still cant pronounce it correctly

keep in mind it's not in this guy's interest to say "Wait to buy" - take it with a grain of salt.

Covid proved we can do whatever is needed to be done. PRINT MORE MONEY!

Great video. Born and raised in LA (Whittier) my whole life. I love Whittier. It has a good community, good restaurants, schools, and we have friendly hills. Also, we aren’t from OC entertainment like Knott’s Berry Farm or Disneyland. Also, nice meeting a person from England that’s living in LA. I have had the opportunity to visit Cornwall, England a couple of times and I love it.

Heaven on earth

I went to east jr high and Downey high…… I’ve not been there in 45 years. So many good memories. I lived on apple by st

My wages aren't keeping up so I'm praying for a depression. 40% drop will still be expensive.

Stopped watching when I saw you drink diet coke. I have no curiosity at all about how you think or see the world.

Bad info.

LA California is a dying state homeless people everywhere. I live in LA for 26 years i move out LA last year because crimes and homeless people.

Casually praising gentrification 👎

Really insightful. Thank you!

Most expensive housing values in 30 years. Shame. Is this happening just in California, or in all the US ?

The research on this is pretty impressive, especially for a relatively obscure town like Whittier. Its pretty spot on. I think Uptown Whittier has a lot of potential - I bought in east Whittier which is great, but in retrospect wish I had bought near Uptown. As the region densifies and gets more traffic, a walkable area will be in demand. Uptown has a lot of the 1920s, 1930s homes and older and feels a little like Highland Park with character and some history. The rest of the area is more generic postwar California suburbia but with large lots and well maintained neighborhoods. The plus side for that postwar tract housing js that I think they have nice interior layouts, even if the exteriors are a little boring. But Ive been seeing really nice renovations. Theres some beautiful treelined neighborhoods around the city. For buyers, Id make sure they distinguish between the City of Whittier and unincorporated communities like South Whittier and West Whittier. The unincorporated areas can be louder and less developed whereas the city for the most part is peaceful and well taken care of. Aside from Uptown, the area around Michigan Park is very nice. East of Colima Rd has lots of great neighborhoods, north of Whittier Blvd tends to be wealthier (Friendly Hills). South of Whittier Blvd and north of Lambert is really coming up with younger homebuyers buying from Baby Boomers. The downside like mentioned is the lack of freeways. Commutes are rough if youre going to other LA areas. But for the prices and community itself, the place is an amazing deal for teleworkers or hybrid workers. Still between LA and OC so not too bad for weekends when traffic is low. Very family friendly, and I partially moved for the decent public schools which I struggled to find in LAUSD areas. La Serna High School is very good, I’ve also heard good things about La Habra High for eastern Whittier. So in a nutshell, quiet family friendly area, a bit of a chore to get in and out of, but also insulated from a lot of the problems around LA County. Good bang for the buck.

you can hardly buy any home in Orange County for a million dollars and all new builds, which are going up everywhere between Irvine and Lake Forest, but are more than two million dollars. Irvine is very safe, but Anaheim, Santa Ana are much less safe. Also, the lots for all the homes currently being built are just big enough for a outside eating table and grill, but nothing else. The commute from north Orange to LA is 1.5-2hrs each way. I did it from Anaheim Hills to LAX for years and spent 3-4hrs a day. Mission Viejo is a great area. Yorba Linda is great too.

Hey, that’s my city !!!! and honestly, we don’t need any more people coming from other countries living there

Having lived in the South Bay for many decades! It is paradise! The only barrier is the enormous cost for housing! Everyone has to be extremely wealthy to do well there! Too bad for those of us who are not wealthy! It’s easy for you because you are a real estate agent, and you clearly profit handsomely from all this affluence! Thanks for the peak into a place that will always be home to me!

Have lived in Carson for almost 50 years!… I love Carson 👍

Mission Viejo!!! Great city with a powerhouse high school football team

Im in NJ was living in WA for 2 years considering a CA move in 2026 for career after i finish my education I'm looking for suggestions where I'm single and 25
