The Regional Connector just opened which provides a straight, one-seat ride from Pasadena to Long Beach or with a short transfer in Downtown LA, you can transfer to the E line to go to Santa Monica. Also, in addition to the A line, Pasadena has Los Angeles Metro bus service, Pasadena Transit buses, and on-demand ride-hailing service called Metro Micro that services parts of Pasadena and Altadena and functions much like Lyft or Uber all for only $1. It's definitely possible to live comfortably in Pasadena car-free and if you look at Pasadena's history, it was built as a "streetcar suburb" around mass transit and not private automobiles, which is what makes it one of most walkable regions in the County. It would've been nice if you would've discussed these options instead of just saying you "need a car" and I encourage you to try it yourself to see it's actually not that bad.
Thanks for your input! I’ve had clients who commuted metro rail from Pasadena to Downtown LA and Burbank but every person I’ve met eventually got their own car. I’m sure there are people who don’t need private transport but I haven’t met anyone.
Good vid explaining the differences between the cities nice homes in the San Marino as well.In Melbourne we have separate city councils as well granted not as big as the L.A sprawl but they are just classed as suburbs as they fit into the city footprint. I think the founders of Los Angeles just liked naming things.
Thanks for input! It’s a bit different here….The smaller cities around city of Los Angeles all belong in the County of Los Angeles, but are each individually governed and have their own set of laws and regulations. The laws in Pasadena are alot more strict than city of LA and that’s why it looks so nice here.
Usually people receive job offer first before consider moving. I’ve worked with people in everything from research engineers, to entertainment set professionals, to pilots at Burbank airport.
Haven't experienced all of Pasadena, but if you're White, and have kids, choose somewhere else to move to. The schools are gonna be a nightmare for them!
@@whereaboutsunknown3822 White people don't like being the minority in any area. They have always preferred homgeny with a sprinkle of other. Don't act like you don't know .
@@arthurrock4979 why you say that? I’m black with kids and want to move where it’s a mixture but at the same time in a state with a lot of opportunities for them
For sure avoid Orange Grove Ave, and depending on the age of your kids, Madison Elementary. They're not gonna be learning anything there anyway, and it might be an even worse influence on them, as Black, cause instead of being punked and bullied around, they're gonna be invited to participate in all types of "extracurricular activities". That whole area was awful already in the 1980s. Gunshots at night at least once a couple months.

@@livinginpasadena thank you! So basically get something under my belt before moving there
Pasadena is not in the city of Los Angeles but is a part of the county of Los Angeles. Arguably, it is a part of Los Angeles.
Thanks for input!
It's a border suburb.
CALIFORNIA such a big parking lot, nothing to see
Nice job
Pasadena is part of LA county, but it not Los Angeles. Just like Culver City, Santa Monica, Compton, Rodonda Beach and Long Beach. It's own city.
Pasadena climate is like Chicago. Too hot in summer. Too cold in Winter
Sure thing Pasadena often gets down to minus 10 with wind chill
It’s pronounced Pa-Sa-De-Na…..😁

@starira...This is an odd and very cruel post. Does it give you pleasure to be cruel?
@@earth2air2water what's wrong with looking masc lesbian..??
@@jayjayvah ....There is nothing wrong with looking that way if you are a woman, but he is a man.
