When an American says to a European that gas is expensive in the US. 😳😳
Exactly what I thought, $50 for 12 gallons is hella cheap compared to Europe
lol yeah, it's like twice a price here 😬
Its ridiculous😂
@sneksnekitsasnek we do
Yeah and when they get upset when the local government say they are going to put tax on gas
Unfortunately homelessness is a massive problem also in the whole LA County.
@Sidney Sosa They. shit in the streets of San Francisco
Probably because of the rent prices
And the whole country!! 😒😓😒
It's sad to see
Keep in mind that 68% of those homeless people are not even from L.A. they coming from different States since every loves our weather and our State give it a way money to feed those ppl.
As someone who used to live in LA the last point hits hard. It's VERY hard to make friends there because everyone is all about money and they don't want to waste their time talking or hanging around you if there isn't anything to benefit from it.
People will come over and talk to you acting all friendly sure but 99% of the time they are simply sizing you up and determining if you can add anything of value to them.
LA is a place where despite its gorgeous scenery and countless things to see and do, it's easy to feel lonely.
Yeah that is true about LA. I think it’s more a symptom from a lot of people working in the industry. People have to admit that Hollywood and the entertainment industry can be very superficial. You can’t have it both ways. But if you don’t work in entertainment and hang out with non-industry people, you actually can easily avoid that.
^^^^!
YOU HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD
Yeah, I used to live in Michigan. I had many friends there. When I moved back to Los Angeles, I had a hard time making friends. Weird!
it's true of Houston too, most big cities are impersonal places
Life is short. If you want to do something, just do it. Take the risks.
Dam your right . I need to goto LA
Agree!
SandStorm XII do it bro! i just moved here from Boston 1 month ago . I wanted to do it for 5 years but just was a pussy . Now that the world is getting so crazy i thought, its for sure time to go ( i can always move back ) ... but i love it dude ... its so fun. its so fucking fun. warm, beaches , cool people , great food. lots of night life. and it feels fun to just move somewhere u see in all the movies .. and i know im not gonna miss the snow
I live in Paris.. I hate it, the people are soooooooo rude and overall cold, I hate that it rains 11months out of 12, it's just a very toxic place, and my French friends said that, so it's not just what I think.
I'm Franco American, but I was born and raised in France
I'm planning of moving to LA and be closer to my family, I don't care about the cons
Your D is short too
My reasons not to move to Los Angeles:
I'm poor and I just can't afford it.
André Benites Houston's way cheaper and has all the same stuff except Hollywood
@@notsure6187 Where is Houston?
Merc s65 in Texas
@@generalblue633 America is a horrible place, especially Texas, most fucked up place on the planet
many folks from Las Vegas are LA transplants who could no longer afford it in California
I feel like you hit on a really good point about the people who move to LA. They’re the clout chasers, the flakes, and the people with their heads stuck in the clouds. LA natives, and Southern Californians are actually super chill and down to earth. Don’t let Hollywood get in the way of the genuine Californians 😌❤️
totally!! I feel like people from LA / California in general are coolest and most genuine usually
Jeremiah Daniel exactly.
Plenty of natives are fake too. Sorry, pal. I’m a transplant, and as real as they come.
Some California natives, even decades ago, and hippies also had/have their head in the clouds, it has nothing to do with what you described. Dreaming is synonymous with Cali, because of its chill vibe, not a bad thing at all😊
BLACK MAN u sure they aint being fake to only you since they can sense a transplant from a mile away?
All I want to do is sit on my porch with Ice Cube and say DAAAMMM every now and then.
omg omg, same!!!!!! :d ice cube is legend
Ddaaaammmnnnnn sounds nice
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣
"In LA public transport isnt that good"
Meanwhile I living in Polish city where if you late for bus you have to wait 2h for another or go on foot (and the 2nd option is usually faster)
Move out from that city
How tf are u comparing a Polish city to LA
LA is a bigger one
Try comparing cities like Berlin, London, Paris,Madrid to LA
That's a fair one
@@troyeakb6314 Oh me me, I got this one. Uh, Vancouver… 4 hour wait times
I hope she convince many people. I need the 101 and 110 fwy to clear up 😄
Henry Mendez and the 10 freeway 😩😩😩
The 405😔
😂 never before did I see such horrible traffic thank in LA. I am from the NYC area.
Right!!!
Lol yessss
"People in Los Angeles are fake"
- is what people who move to Los Angeles call other people who move to Los Angeles.
Yep.
Doesn't make it false though.
Rude I live in LA oh and btw we are not mirrors
Gacha_Strawberry Milk UwU I agree that’s rude LA is a great place
The “fake” people tend to conglomerate in certain areas, which happen to also become tourist hot spots at some point. Go away from those areas and you’ll find people humbled by their success and failures in this city.
As someone from here, I can honestly say, the “fake” people have moved here from somewhere else. They move here to be someone else rather than developing the person they are.
Sis is trying her best to keep la from getting over over packed hahah
What?
Lol yes
Lol!
Don’t worry people are leaving
No she’s telling the truth and being real!!
Let's just not mention the zillion person homeless population :(
Is it safe for a one day visit? Decent hotels?
@@clarityofthought of course. A great city to visit. Stay in Hollywood at the Rosevelt Hotel then spend your time in Santa Monica. Don’t forget to drive the 101 up to Santa Barbara. Very beautiful drive
@@LoganMayberryLovesJesus thank you - recommend anything else?
@@clarityofthought I live in LA. Careful, covid rates are super high right now. Visit little Tokyo in downtown LA, Chinatown, Venice beach, etc. lots of good food here but expensive, maybe get some Phở for dinner..
@@tinyube perfect . Thanks!
"A lot of people who move here are those people" THANK YOU for acknowledging that a lot of the "fakeness" in LA is not actually from LA. The people that grew up here are some of the realest people you'll ever meet. Don't lump us all in with randos from Michigan!
Why you hit Michigan???🤣😭
👏🏻
@@vilheard3030 Why not? Most of the state is shaped like a glove so it's only right that it catches whatever shit is flung at it.
Our family has found more of the best in LA not the worst. But it's what you attract to yourself too.
@@Protoplasm78 don’t do Michigan like that🤣🤣🤣
1. Cost of living
2. Earthquakes
3. Air Pollution
4. Traffic
5. Gangs/Crime
accurate as fuckk
Frank Hudson/ DJ Frank Gee don't forget the mandatory left, how dare you have another opinion politics.
Don’t forget illegal immigration
@@davidfrederick4530 Illegal immigration exists everywhere.
and there's nothing wrong with illegal immigrants.
I lived in NYC for 5 years. Loved it, but felt it was limited and expensive. Moved to LA to live near the ocean, the mountains, desert, and the forest. It's been 15 years now. Met my husband, own a home, and met some cool people here. LA isn't bad you just have to find the good of LA and flow with it.
Is it safe? My parent wont let me move to LA with my sister from lebanon, because they think we are gonna get killed or robbed and that the us us not safe?? Is it true
Please help
They want us to go to Australia because they think it's much safer!😔
@@perlapamela2023I lived in Australia and grew up it's boring
Thanks for the tip :)
i love how she’s like “they moved to LA because it looked coOL” when she’s obviously one of those people
Legit, I thought this was gonna be constructive but everything sounds like most cities here in Australia but it’s half the price for anything like groceries or fuel in the US
EXACTLY- WHY - she made NO friends ...js... we dont CARE about y our "TH-cam careeer"...can you help with mutual aid? Labor organizing? What can YOU do for OUR city? LOL
So many people also think they HAVE TO move to LA to become a youtuber. Not true.
Now you're telling her lol
It's easier
Why tho
Crazy Nate but if you wanna be an actor you gonna have to be in LA
@@Darkest_Soul_187 😂😂
I lived in Hollywood for 3 years and had the best time of my life. LA is what you make of it.
I love LA
Love LA!!!
I really want to be a gay pornstar. Should I move to LA or should I continue to live in Bismarck, North Dakota?
FLexxxtreme move!
Thank youuuu.. LA loves you ❤️
I lived here my whole life and these reasons don’t even faze me LOL it’s just normal. I love it. its fresh and there’s lots to do
Yeah she just mad
You are able to afford your house and things
You lucky man sir I’m from Nepal
@@devrajshakhakarmi6359 bruh we are lucky... love frm Kathmandu, Nepal
Like what? Coz im going to move LA soon
Everyone from Europe has to laugh when seeing the gas prices there as it’s almost twice as expensive in Europe
Ikr?
So there ripping us bruh🤦🏻♂️
When I see people in US ranting about gas prices I just start laughing :))
Im Asian and im laugh too
3 times in Australia
*THE MONTAGE IN THE BEGINNING HOLY MOLEY😩💓!*
Basically just don't move to LA unless you're a celebrity.
But to become a celebrity, you have to move to LA
K T maybe if you or I move to LA we will become
@@quilg Let's become L.A brother.
there's approximately 20 million people in the greater Los Angeles area, and most of them aren't celebrities...most of them are just regular hardworking people..
No unless you're rich af
Really good video and insight from you. Thanks for sharing 🙏😊
Thanks for the information. Appreciated it. 😉
I was born and raised in LA & it’s funny seeing all the social media influencers move here and try to keep up w the culture then end up hating it. When you see the memes of real California residents saying “stop moving here” we mean it, you’re not built for it unless it’s all you know, nothing negative just helpful advice. There’s been ALOT of youtubers these past 2 years moving back to their small towns
always love the "native" LA people thinking they own CA = you don't --people move in and out of SoCA for many different reasons. Its a sprawling mess with horrible smog, traffic ( thank you oil companies for killing the early subway system ) and overpriced houses with no real city vibe or transportation. You tubers don't make people move there - jobs opportunities do or people chasing dreams of stardom.
Nia Lauren just because your parents decided to plop down in LA 30 or whatever years ago doesn’t mean you’re entitled to the whole city hun. You being born there was pure chance and doesn’t give you any special treatment over people who choose to move there.
Who Me never said it did get your panties out of a bunch babygirl 😘
Sterling Marshel never said I owned LA but your perception is your reality I guess 🥰
Hahahahhahha I love your comment... heyyyyy 😂😂😂❤️❤️ from Hancock park girl 90020 😘😘😘😘
Please people listen to her and move out. Then I can finally drive in peace with no traffic.
lmaoo
people that moved there leave.

I spent more time stuck in traffic going 0mph in Seattle during rush hour, but the traffic there is always heavy and the drivers are aggressive! Very very stressful.
what's #7?
it’s really not that bad
@@boy.erased is not that bad jou know is fot rich poeple different is different life style jou like ir ore jou dont jou know that jou need money to live there halloo
As a Los Angeles resident born and raised this is very true. I hope this video works. Could use less traffic
F-zero91maru um well we die🤔
Dude its something you gotta live with. I live in Melbourne Australia and we have had a massive population spike in the last 10 years. Congestion on the roads is unbelievable and the fatality rate on the state's roads at the moment is one hundred more than this time last year. Its awful and it sucks but most major cities around the world are going through this. Having said that traffic in LA is horrendous at night. I remember driving from Universal Studios at around 7:00 pm to the Magic Castle Hotel on Franklin Avenue and it took me 45 minutes!!!!!
Live here love it here hope things gets better soon
I think your doing a great job...and I enjoy your videos
Don’t be fooled she loves LA just doesn’t want it to be more populated than it already is
Yes, the maybe 100 people she convinces to not move to LA will make a big difference in its population. Thank you for your sound analysis.
Or, she sees that the benefits outweigh the costs. She’s from Seattle and already had money before moving to LA so it made sense for her but if you’re someone with no money thinking you’ll shoot to stardom the moment you move to the most expensive city in the US, it’s not worth it.
n s no it’s mostly because of the weed
He loves you!
That’s because you fucking outsiders dump your mentally-ill transients and vagrants to Los Angeles.
Honestly! Did you actually visit the true Los Angeles, CA; not just the glitz and glamour.?
Bro, trust me, she’s not lying. It’s more like, the natives of LA want to move out, or are moving out.
The reason that makes me want to move to LA is GTA...
I knew los Angeles was 3 years ago Because of gta.. all the way from San Antonio, Texas 👌🏽👌🏽
I wanted to move because of blueface😂😂 his west coast video had me packing.
Big Boss People like you thing is like GTA but it’s not open your eyes and realize was on the streets in California you don’t know nothing about California

Yea haha
You are soooo likeable. Thank you for this insightful video.
I just subscribed to your channel because of this video. You rock.
California - a sunny place with shady people.
Natural Born Pusher 😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
Aaaaaaaaaaaaye. Got eeeeem.
I'm making this my knew catchphrase.
So true
I'm not a shady person... But totally know where your coming from you need to be on your toes here
People, including TH-cam and TikTok “wannabe” stars all move to LA, because it’s the trendy think for internet up and comings to do.... most end up moving back out of LA
Alex Thomas eh I will always stay here because it’s nice where I am in la
@@mewtheprince What zone/region is the best?
@@Xyzjdisbzjd wellpretty much all of la is the same although if you’re a person trying to make it big and just wants money and stuff you would like to live in the more city part with many people and buildings although if you would just rather have a less loud place to live in la some valleys are nice although I can’t guarantee anything will be to anyone’s taste I’m only saying this because I grew up here. so many people could hate it but I like the valley although I do like Hollywood a bit this is just my opinion it’s ok if you think it’s wrong
@@mewtheprince lol. Thanks
true but some people want to just have the experience to Live In another beautiful place
Loved your honesty ❤️❤️❤️💯
Thanks for sharing love ❤️
only twenty minutes to target??
*laughs in country*
Target left uSssssSSssss. I live in Canada.
😂
where do you live? wyoming?
You shouldn't use one of the most inconvenient Target's in LA as an example. Most Targets don't take 10mins for parking or require validation.
Was that the West Hollywood target lol?
She's also speaking from a place of entitlement but mostly experience. She's a transplant. Cant fault her for thinking that L.A. is only Hollywood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, etc... it's funny that she called other cities "random." That speaks volumes about her perspective.
@@Noc4ball exactly you get people she speaks on knowledge from upper class entitled position. She says rent is really expensive when New York and San Francisco are way more expensive that LA she said they're fake,self absorbed, and flakey but yetbshes speaking about people in Burbank,Hollywood, Santa Monica, Westwood we don't even mess with those folks lol
She should've went to the Target on Rosemead Blvd and Marshall. That's closer to her.
@@227erin I think she's talking about specific areas of LA because many young people unfortunately don't know that there are many parts to LA, & not everyone lives a Hollywood lifestyle. Hollywood & gangs are their only perceptions. There are so many LA's, so many different type of people & lifestyles, but unless they've been to LA & experienced something different, many young people do think that LA is all about the Hollywood lifestyle.
I wanna move there so bad, its the perfect combo of being in the city but also have some nature and space at the same time
It’s pretty shit from experience 18 percent unemployment rate 20 percent poverty rate its ether your rich or your just living in a shit hole I actually rather live in Mexico City since it’s cheaper lol.
@@chriswalker143 hi what u recommend for a nature lover and beach lover who wants peaceful life
@@sagarprof.1594 Vancouver for sure but it’s a little expensive or for retirement Mexico has a lot of places
@@chriswalker143 great... I was thinking Hawaii
But no idea if a desired white collar job would ever be available there that meets my skill set
@@sagarprof.1594 true you could also find something online a online job work from anywhere in a cheap country too like Mexico and live great
Eye candy and real information. How awesome is Shelby.
You missed the biggest reason. California has radical income taxes.
Also no one speaks English...
Mike Changy how much is income tax?
@@lijie6431 state tax is 7.5%+, which can be mitigated with various things. People stress over taxes, they shouldn't. Its something someone can mitigate or lessen easily.
@@lijie6431 12.3% It is straight up theft.
@@ScrollTD Not to stress, there only taking over 12 cents out of each dollar. btw you're very redundant.
I’d only move to LA just because of the beaches, Hollywood, sport events, concerts, weather, food, and space.
The beachs that youtubers show u are like the one actually good one.. All the rest have trash EVERYWHERE. And hollywood is full of trash and homeless most of hollywood you cant even get out of your car without getting asked for money. And space?
vanessa sanchez yesss the beaches are dirty and hollywood is worse 😂
vanessa sanchez Would you prefer New York city
Marcy Vel would you prefer New York City
@@troohhippy5929 oop probably not lol
Dude that was dope..... thanks
I really enjoy watching your videos and I live in Sweden. When I watch your videos related to LA I feel it’s a hell spot when comparing it to Sweden .
“It’s very expensive to live in LA.”
Multiply that by 2X and you’ve got San Francisco prices
I am a proud and happy LA Native. Although, you have valid points and 100% accurate, I would never leave LA, it's home. Angelenos got used to this lifestyle, but for transplants it can be difficult. I can only imagine!
This was very informative
Very informative content.
I don’t know why I am watching when I already live in Los Angeles PS- wow thanks for all of the likes and replies.
That's how it be.
Me too
Same!! me too. Maybe I'm looking for a reason to leave.
The only thing keeping me here is the career goals I set out to achieve. ugh..
Same!
Yeah I’m looking for reasons to leave
i live in NYC and seeing ur subway all clean made me jealous lol
But don't move here. There's enough NY'ers. #GotoCT
New Yorker here, we're coming soon! #motorcycling #splitting #skateboarding @@gabrielpacana8596
@@haywoodstheman It's not like we're the only state that permits motorcycle driving. Just remember Orange County (NJ not CA) Motos and those memes.
thats cause no one uses it lol
Gabriel Pacana only state that has legal lane splitting for the win!
great video! LA native here & she’s 100% right 🤷🏾♀️
I’m gonna chill down here in The south thank you very much
Be prepared for
1. Lots of horrible people
2. Overwhelming homelessness
Edit: I recently moved away from LA and found this comment again. Why are people so pressed lol. All I did was say what I remember about dtla
also no one speaks English.....
Sounds like ny
Ugh im a new yorker. Id think the people would really irriatate me
There are horrible and homeless people everywhere.
brsk I cleary have. I rode my bike in the city alot when I was there. Not the best city for it. The population of homeless people there is actually over 30k. Seen over 50 when I was there.
What I found really sad in LA is the homeless population! Rich Celebrities live next to people who live on the street and I think that’s really upsetting 😪
It isn't their job to give out money but I 100% agree that it's so sad that's how it is.
As a rich celebrity I can tell you it is upsetting. But we can't kill the homeless. Can we?
To be honest most of them got there therselves
MountainDrew wrong. The organizations ain’t really helping
MountainDrew their fault that they lost their homes cause poor rent control, the companies they worked for went bankrupt, etc. and then you get on a list to get help/housing but there’s a line. Say u leave to explore other options, you automatically loose your spot. It’s deeper than you think.
i really like watching your videos.
I am in LA for vacation. It’s a very expensive city. The weather and beaches are nice:
Born and raised in LA.... LA is incredible, but yes it is super expensive. They flew here, we grew here. 🤓
la kids!!!!
Where in LA are you form. I’m from Culver City
I love how people trash LA but stay
Jordan Castillo westwood
Mac Girl literally
$1500 -$2400 is impossibly cheap for the Bay Area lol... that’ll get you a shared room or if you’re lucky a small studio (a small box basically)
3k is more realistic.
How much do you earn on an average?
A C same for NYC
@@Bronnybronny Correct, but in NYC you will most likely have a car with all its expenses.
Gumer Zambrano hahahahahaha hahahaha no not necessarily.
very accurate assessment
I love LA! Lived there for 10 years and then moved back to Sweden. Miss LA every day and will probably move back soon. LA is what you make of it but in my opinion there is nowhere like it.
You were from Sweden so I see why you liked LA. Used to the ridiculous prices. I could never go back to the west coast after coming to the the south/Midwest personally
Ohh don't tell me? Your boyfriend was a hommie BLM? Correct? Ha ha 😂 🤣
@JS Yes, I was used to free education, free healthcare and 6 weeks paid vacation in Sweden just as in LA and those similarities made me love it... 🙄
@FC Nope, married to a Swede both then and now. What has BLM anything to do with me loving LA? Racist much?
First reason not to move to LA...WE’RE FULL. There’s no room lol 😂
Eb Jean
Oh No! There’s room for one more Dreamer! I’m coming out to LA to become Rich and Famous! I’m sure I’ll be welcomed with open arms! The Fine people of LA will welcome me. They’re decent and kind Folks!
Amen! 🙌🏼
D RolyPolyMan lol
lmao
Tell that to the illegal immigrants and the Democrats.
Every time you show a pic of a spot I’m LA I think about all the times I’ve crashed my whip on that street in gta
😂😂 Bruh! hahaha. it's crazy how accurate GTA is to the real thing. When I first moved to LA that's all I could see.
Do you see celebrities there??
@@christianayala1672 lol
Gaming Douchebag if you're lucky enough yes. Many people have met Zendaya but idk about other people 🤷♀️ Plus LA CA is huge, so it will be hard trying to find those "celebrities." Idk about other places. When I was younger I was thinking I should move there and find Zendaya 😂 I was in LA CA not too long ago and I would look out the car window all the time just in case I see celebrities. (-ω- )
@@prod.antisocialflexer7469 Yes, you will see celebrities here. My little brothers are part of this swim team and at the swim meet they met Gwyneth Paltro and took a picture with her. Sometimes on certain holidays/events you can go to Pico Blvd and Fig and just go bar hopping around there at night and you'll see many celebrities/athletes. Once you know you live in the same state as most celebrities, you'll tend to not get so worked up about it. There's even an ex-celebrity superman actor that now does solar paneling for roofs.
My father went to one of the most famous high schools in LA and has a yearbook from it... John Marshall High. That high school must've cranked out more than a dozen celebrities from there. I grew up in San Gabriel just east of LA and thank God the homeless haven't really crept into this city like it has to other cities. My hometown has really changed throughout the years... Everyone drives a Lexus here at the very least and now Lamborghinis, McClarens, Maseratis and Ferraris are becoming a norm.
Great video 📹 👍
Thank you for sharing I drove and stayed in California for two months..it was great but I lost track of how much money I spent...smile...still love it...
My parents live in LA because its has the biggest korean community ever and they felt it would be easier to live in. Yeah its not easy but they managed to give us a good life
So jealous. My parents settled in NYC and I’m still here. I wish they had gone for LA instead.
Well you are blessed bc france is dogshit
It seems like most people just hate there hope towns or state. Other then japan of course.
South Korea is a developed country, why did they move to Los Angeles?
@@Hsjsjshshshs maybe they still wanted to live in America for their children

Noah Moreno yes why
Reno is awesome. it's like San Francisco and Las Vegas but it's cheap.
Lit me in South lake tahoe
Comparing a peasant village at the edge of a desert next to any major city? You're trying too hard.
I never been in LA, but i did a lot of research and i totally agree with you
I would only visit LA or California. I would never live in California or LA but I would visit California and La and the other cities anytime. I’d prefer to not live in California tho it is beautiful and I would visit the city’s any time cause there’s a lot to do etc in California and the city’s there however I would not ever want to live there
Excellent video. As one who grew up in Los Angeles I can attest, everything you say is true. It is simply impossible to find the center of this city, and you can't find that magical place to live that will put you in reach of everything you need to do. It's simply impossible. Unless you can work from home and order everything to your doorstep, including groceries, you're gonna be on that road dealing with traffic. No fun. I had a job once where I had to leave home two hours early just to be there on time. It was only twelve miles away. And this was a minwage job...years ago! Traffic has only gotten worse, so I'm glad I can afford to work from home. But I still have to brave the traffic. Yes, we have a lot of shallow phonies here, but I live in what I call Real L.A. What I mean by that, is I deal mostly with regular people with a good head on their shoulders, not fame seekers. I have a lot of Mexican American friends and they live very normal, down to earth lives and don't pay attention to all the silliness.
i think the LA natives are just trying to keep more people from moving there lol
We definitely are.. do not move here.. DO NOT MOVE HERE!!!
Kayla Michelle we full
Yeah because you make traffic worse and your just be another dreamer who wants to get famous like just stay out
Well yeah....
Give it a try you'll end up being homeless
“They flew here, we grew here” bruh y’all know ppl move to places all the time right? 😂
ikr thats so cringeworthy
lol
thisisamomentTV Often they don’t actually need to though
They say that as if it's something to be proud of. Really weird.
@@thecrazymuzician1 What's so bad about having pride in your hometown lol, pretty sure everyone's like that
You nailed it;)
I smiled about the Entourage comment lol I do like that show, but I've lived there before and I'm looking at moving back
Why you shouldn’t live here
1.Cost
2.Cost
3.Cost
4.Cost
5.Cost
6.Cost
the price is nothing compared to the prices in Silicon Valley LMAO
Yall be bitching too much, i'm from Dublin and i'll kill for $1500 dollar rent for central areas, and it's NOT THAT EXPENSIVE, GO TO SAN FRANCISCO, SAN JOSE, NYC, DUBIN. Los Angeles is only a little bit more expensive than Dublin and Dublin boring asf trust me. If you wanna complain move to Lancaster, Palmdale, Sacramento, Fresno rent is dirt cheap.
Yeah, the wages are way higher on average compared to red-state kiddo.
Basically don't move there if you're broke but that should already be a given
kozodoev NYC says hi
Me a Midwesterner:
Her: $16 for drinks and fast food
Me: expected
Her: takes 20 minutes to get to target and 10 minutes to park
Me: not bad my closest target is a half hour away
Her: gas is $3.60
Me: absolutely unacceptable I am never moving to L.A
I know its the same prices in Chgo only with crappy sunless weather
Her in Phoenix its 2.40
Same here. I love cars and I love driving. There is no way I'd want to spend that much in fuel and insurance. It would kill my #1 hobby!
Grew up in the southeast and live in Texas now where gas is below national average and no extra taxes. Never moving to LA either lmao Alexandria Geiler
Europe: 4.7 lol
This may all be true, but every time I’m outside of California, I’m always glad I’m from California.
This was very thorough and helpful, thank you!!
New York City and San Francisco are more expensive than Los Angeles.
Not true I lived in Nyc and saved more
true san francisco and the bay area in general are really expensive. a 1 bedroom apartment is already $2700-$3200
Vc Pets exactly san francisco is crazy expensive. california in general is pretty expensive
Vc Pets la and New York are maybe at the same price
I live in SF roommates is the way to go! Live in 4 bedroom place with my homies and enjoying my time in SF!
I remember the bumper stickers which said “Welcome to California, now go home”
I need that lol
@@satsat247 me too 😂
I love your Video 👌👍❤️
I am planing on moving to USA from Norway for a year in high school, but I can’t decide between LA or New York. This helped a lot!
Sounds like the tyically "dont come to LA we dont want you here" video
I have wondered for years, why ANYONE would even think about moving there, much less commit that act of stupidity!!
A lot of these hipsters or transplants don’t know LA. They only hang around gentrified hipster areas around other transplants.
Those hipster areas are the most superficial and soulless places in LA.
Ikr fuck hipsters they are so annoying and fake
Hipsters tend to do that in every large city or sizable suburb they move to in masses
i love your zombie in traffic look @ 2:03 - - - I have been like that too many time to recall - mind numbing for certain !!
Great video! I would love to move to either LA or San Francisco for work but it is so expensive! Btw you really remind me of Anna Faris.
You forgot all the beautiful girls that come to LA and get trapped in the cycle of drugs and sex for sale that eats away at their very soul.
rafe lemay stop trying to live the fast life. Stay where you’re at 🤷🏽♂️

A young lady came by my place today, she was 27 but looked 42.
Her face, she looked enough to be on the cover of a magazine.
She was a Creole African American obviously part Native American, she knew both French and Spanish. Although she is African American, she prefers White guys, Mexicans and Asian men over Blacks, a real rocker chick.
If it were not for both Crystal Meth use and an obvious issue with mental health a woman that beautiful would not have the time of day for a man like myself.
@Ben Daulton WHY IS THAT?
@Ben Daulton What bothers me about LA is what it has become.
People here, especially Hispanics act very nasty.
30 and more years ago, these were some of the most sweetest people.
Now, except for a few friends, I just try to avoid these people.
I usually can tell someone Filipino from Hispanic by their pleasant demeanor.
My biggest concern in LA is too many homeless people. Just seeing them on the street everyday makes me feel so sad and depressed.
H Kim I know I live around Koreatown town and I have to stay strong and positive because seeing so many sad and homeless people can depress me
That's literally one of the top reasons I left LA. I'm very sensitive to my surroundings. I have to be around something beautiful. The cement jungle, as locals call LA, is not beautiful. And seeing so many homeless people struggling is very hard to see. It eventually weighs on you.
I tried to be friendly but at times I was a bit worried for my safety.
thats why you need more illegals, they boost the economy
Cross out depressed
Love you❤️
I’m thinking of moving to LA because I love photography and I’m here right now for a few days and took some awesome pictures at a car show (Cars and Coffee) which I have attended to before in my home town and it is not the same at all hahahah. So much better here.
was never gonna live in LA but this was informative and interesting as hell 😂🙌🏾❤️
TH-cam needs more videos like this
Who care
Angelinos: La is expensive
Swiss people: Hold my Fondue
whoa how expensive is switzerland cuz I kinda wanna live there lol
@@derpwadder its just bad if you don't have a job in Switzerland but if you have you get paid so high it doesn't even matter. the average wage here is 70 thousand a year the second highest in the world
Cédi ok thanks 😊
Well... As a person tht lives in switzerland, I can say it all seems pretty cheap in the vids where they complain about high prices
The difference between here and these cities is, tht in switzerland we earn a lot, but also spend a lot
So everything is in balance
In la you earn less and spend similarely like in switzerland
Oc its diffenrent if you live in zürich, genf (geneve) or if you live somewhere less expensive like aargau
It all depends
in Switzerland cleaner man drive mercedes and live good especially if they are near to german border while in LA not so
I live in LA today and when you said every person is rude I know there is a small amount of people that is nice
And I respect your opinion
Thanks for the video , live in a small town in north england much greener and happier here I'm glad I don't live in LA!
I wanna move to LA to become a MOVIE STAR! I'm going to make it too! So I will take a temp job at Starbucks while waiting for my big break....which will come tomorrow...Or by the weekend for sure!!
Randal Colling Hmmm. The reality is that anything is possible with a practical plan. I doubt people that actually move there think it’s that easy.
I believe in you
LMAO
@@queenj1257 me to
Good luck man that is also my dream
I feel you. I was born and raised in L.A and I need to leave. This sinful city is destroying me lol.
it's only nice to live in LA when you are rich and living that extreme life of going out all the time, parties, and whatnot, but when you are stuck on the cycle of working many hours a day and doing chores then it's gonna be a hell of a boring life.
Im from the philipines and my best friend moved to l.a
I was thinking of doing the same thing this helped 👍
Been living in LA for 3 years now...I don't have a car and catch public transport everywhere...it's actually not that bad as if there's area's without the metro they have buses instead (which are now free since covid). You just have to plan ahead and choose wisely where you live. Beverly Hills/West Hollywood area is quite walkable and I can run all my errands, groceries, target, banks etc all within walking distance! The only annoying thing is if you want to go to places a bit further out like Malibu/Pasadena or a hike in the hollywood hills..that's a bit more difficult..I usually save those places for when I'm hanging out with friends and get them to give me a lift haha
