Awesome! I'm happy you enjoyed the video. What's bringing you to Los Angeles? If I can be of any help, you can reach me at the contact information in the description of the video.
@@livinginlosangelescaliforn353 Girlfriend is from there and she also got a residency at USC. I appreciate that. Just a little nervous picking the right neighborhood to live in.
Los Angeles is definitely a shit hole but it's also an amazingly precious underdog of a city full of hardworking people, secret sacred architecture and mountain views that you can only see from downtown. No one ever talks about the best parts of LA😢
Yes, there are some amazing views from downtown and from many parts of the city. Best part is the views are almost year-round because of the great weather. I appreciate you perspective
I live in Boston and have been planning to relocate to LA for about a year now to build out my podcast and coaching business. I'd like to build my network in LA to help enhance my podcast and get guests on that are in entertainment. I'm interested to hear your opinion on whether it's worth the move to LA for this reason?
@@jaycarter4682Try and stay here for like 2 weeks then make your decision everybody’s different for some ppl they can’t stand the traffic and homelessness but to me the pros outweighs the cons
I think it depends on your lifestyle in Los Angeles. I find that people experience LA in different ways. The areas you mentioned do resonate with me for sure.
Thanks for the insightful tips and updates. I've been researching extensively, and your breakdown really helps put things into perspective. One additional gem I'd suggest adding to the list is the Quantum Clinic for a dose of relaxation and rejuvenation. Their floating spa therapy is a game-changer for calming both mind and body amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. Keep up the fantastic work, and thanks again for sharing your wisdom.
How big is Los Angeles? The county is bigger than Delaware and Rhode Island combined. You could fit Boston, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. in just the San Fernando Valley.
Great video! Hadn't seen your sub count when I was watching, and was shocked to see it wasn't in the tens of thousands. Been to LA a bunch of times (from the UK) and it is completely mad size wise (even compared to say London), and the thing about it being much more about the regions is very true. The company I work for actually owns a house in Lake Balboa, so I know the valley fairly well (have also stayed in Burbank and Studio City before, as well as Silverlake)... it is an astronomical sprawl of a city but I actually really like it - but does take some getting used to. If I did live there I'd be happy somewhere in Burbank tbh, maybe a nice little house in walking distance of Tony's Darts Away. 🥰
@@davidfein-feinhomerealesta8864 Makes sense as well. I’m an East LA native who moved to south LA for a year, Hollywood for a year, the Valley for a year and has lived in Central LA for the last decade plus. K-town specifically. Every part of the city has different vibes. I got the order wrong but the vibe right. Thank you for responding! I was curious.
The worst part about L.A. is all the development going on. L.A. doesn’t care about its history. I was born here in the early 60s and lived my formative years a few blocks from the beach in the Ocean Park area of Santa Monica. Back then, L.A. was like the biggest small town in the world. In those days, people in Compton and Watts had horses and livestock. Same with Pasadena and Altadena. We had animals at all my elementary schools: donkeys, chickens, goats, ducks, etc. When we were in Santa Monica, our school let me take home my favorite goat for awhile. 🐐 My grandmother lived in Altadena. Lots of her neighbors rode horses to the grocery store. A friend of hers in Pasadena had a bull in her backyard. We later moved to L.A. in the same area where the Our Gang shorts were shot. Of course, those films were pre-war, but they illustrate how, until pretty recently, L.A. and the Valley were quite rural. In residential neighborhoods of Glendale and the Hollywood Hills you are very likely to catch sight of a deer.
You are outside of your damn mind. The water was so polluted back then. Industrial waste was constantly being pumped into the ocean. Untill laws were passed in the late 1960s the ocean was a cesspool. That smell you're talking about, that is organic matter, nutrient rich waters. The literal poisons(DDT anyone?)we were dumping into the oceans for decades killed everything off. This is not my opinion. This is not up for debate. There are mountains of data available. The oceans and the air are so much cleaned now than they were 50 - 70 years ago.
@@livinginlosangelescaliforn353 : I was a very young single parent when I struck out on my own in the 80s. I could afford to rent a nice apartment in the city close to my job, buy a new car, and not only have the necessities, but the extras as well: entertainment, outings, restaurants, summer camp, college courses . . . all on a modest salary. I could *never* do that today. I was frugal, though. I learned to cut and color my own hair, I did my own manicures and pedicures, and we lived without cable TV for a looooong time. 😬
I think they cleaned up Venice beach,I could b wrong . As to the homeless, population,there is also a % margin that choose to b living the homeless lifestyle,free as a bird. Hey , before,they used to say,"stand in doorway"" There maybe a gangster here n there n los Angeles
@@Walteramirez True, but still pretty big. Then add the 4 million people in the city and 10 million people in the county, and Los Angeles feels even bigger than its geography.
@Living In Los Angeles California I say the pros out weigh the cons...and people love to act like other cities are perfect ...to me los angeles and southern California as a whole is the best region to live in america and I don't think it's even close
@@livinginlosangelescaliforn353 sounds good will do! I been goin through a lot of your videos haha, I’m thinkin about relocating around November this year if everything lines up correctly :) your videos have been the most helpful tbh on learning the differ areas n the pros n cons n your insider tips are 🔥
I absolutely loved this video. Moving here in August from Vegas, and this helped a little of my anxiety 😅

@@livinginlosangelescaliforn353 thank you! I’ll let my girlfriend know too!
great advice i think im finna send it
The heart of LA is the people of LA
Los Angeles is definitely a shit hole but it's also an amazingly precious underdog of a city full of hardworking people, secret sacred architecture and mountain views that you can only see from downtown. No one ever talks about the best parts of LA😢
LA is awesome.
You can see the mountains from WAY more places than just downtown. But from a downtown high rise, yes, the view is phenomenal. 🏔

Thank you for informative video and local insights
You're welcome! I like making videos about Los Angeles and helping people move this great city.
I feel like older areas like Arlington Heights, West Adams, and Los Feliz kind of epitomize the *feel* of L.A.

Well done! Loads of helpful information!

I appreciate your comments! It does take some getting used to especially if you aren't from Los Angeles. The sprawl just makes it more fun to explore!
Greater London covers a larger area than LA.
This is very helpful ! Thank you 😊
Happy to help! Let me know if you have any questions...
Hi! How does one get in touch with you? I’d love to get your help with planning my move to Los Angeles.
I am happy to help! My best phone number is 424-404-1557 and my best email is david@feinhome.com
Guessing you grew up in the valley and moved to the west side. You give me that vibe.
I actually grew up and spent most my life on the West side and then moved to The Valley

@@melissamcgillivray Yeah, it's cool you picked up on the vibe. It looks like you have enjoyed the various vibes LA has to offer
6:34 - I was shocked that that would be in or around LA, so I looked into it. It's actually in Corsica!
@05:43: I’m glad to see Angel’s Flight is still there. Did they move it?
You forgot about skid row. Highly recommend a visit.
Yeah, unfortunately the homeless population has increased throughout the city...
LoL

I understand. Even in the 80's it still felt like big small town.
@@livinginlosangelescaliforn353: It did.
I'm very surprised the bums and drug addicts everywhere have not caused real estate value to plummet.
In the 60s and 70s the L.A. beaches were SO clean. Now, the water has a distinct odor. Not good. 😢
It felt cleaner in the 80s too. I was at the beach a ton when growing up
@@livinginlosangelescaliforn353: Same!
That sucks !

I can always tell the tourists by the way they are dressed. The tourist are overdressed or wearing shorts on a cool evening
Believe it or not, L.A. used to be affordable.
That's what my relatives say as well.

South Central has the most churches, it's for religion people.
I'm going to guess that you are an Aquarius.
Why?
I think they cleaned up Venice beach,I could b wrong .
As to the homeless, population,there is also a % margin that choose to b living the homeless lifestyle,free as a bird.
Hey , before,they used to say,"stand in doorway""
There maybe a gangster here n there n los Angeles
Venice has been cleaned up
L.A. is full. Don’t come here.
It is quite crowded and congested. Many people are leaving, however.
4 minutes to tell us Los Angeles is big?
It's a BIG topic. Lol. I may have dragged on a bit about this subject.
Not as big as Jacksonville FL
@@Walteramirez True, but still pretty big. Then add the 4 million people in the city and 10 million people in the county, and Los Angeles feels even bigger than its geography.
LA❤❤❤❤
DON'T DO IT!
DO NOT MOVE TO THIS DYSTOPIAN NIGHTMARE!
I'M OUT OF HERE.
I'm sorry you dislike Los Angeles. It definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of Pros, but a lot of Cons too.
