    I'm moving to LA from Houston, for one reason: the weather. Houston heat/humidity is unlivable. My current destination city is San Clemente. I know it's a long way from the rest of LA, but I'm 63 and retired. But, if I can find a home more centrally located, and comparably priced to San Clemente, then I'll grab it. My budget is $1,500,000.

    I moved from LA to Dallas back in 08. I grew up in South Central so my path wasn't too bright. I left to start fresh. I tell anyone if you can afford to live in LA in a nice area, have a good job, it's worth it. Some ppl hate Texas and I love it. So it just depends. But I love LA weather, beaches, mountains, food, etc. I love visiting as a tourist. It's for sure a good time! LA will always be home.

      @@jaycarter4682I would do as much as you can to build that business before you make the jump. I moved there in 2018 to do music and I didn’t get to the point to where I got a lot of traction until 2021. I think people want to move there because of the network etc (exactly why I did) but don’t think about the groundwork to get their creative business off the ground and making money. It’s a very expensive city to try and do that in because your cost of living is so high it becomes difficult to set aside money to invest back into your business. I think it’s a better idea to build in a more affordable city and then move there a few years later to take your creative business to the next level.

Even tho I’m from NY and lived in WI, WA (Seattle), then made move down from Seattle to LA, the rent prices and grocery store prices weren’t too different in 2021 to adjust to, however it is frustrating seeing inflation rise and small things like late night spots closing early (I’m a night owl!)

The club scene listennnn it used to pop yall just had to be there it was vibe. All imma say now is the West Hollywood clubs be careful. Finding (friends) for me was easy because I lived in the valley and you’ll find more natives there I learned tho stay away from people in the industry they’ll snake u quick asfl. I definitely agree with u on the homeless, and traffic situation. Used public transit and the red line is a scary place.

    I live in Mar Vista and run a rental housing business. I try not to raise rent on my tenants but the way LA’s economy is going, I had to raise rent 4% every year since 2022. Inflation is definitely hurting everyone, including landlords. If anyone out there thinking about moving to LA with a budget, your best bet is to start out by renting a room from a family that has a house for the first couple of years until you make enough money to get an apartment of your own. Renting a room will be much cheaper and you will save money and often you will find that family homes give you that privacy that everyone is looking for.

      I’ve been to Australia (Brisbane and Sydney, specifically) and I thought it was so funny when someone from there told us homes cost an average of $800K AUD and that was crazy to them. In USD, that’s only $527K. In LA, you couldn’t even get a shack for $527K. The average home is $1M USD ($1.5M+ AUD) in LA area.
      As an LA native, we don’t want more people here. They’re bringing gentrification and pushing out the locals. Nearly all of our issues stem from overpopulation. We don’t need more.

    Regarding shopping, I heavily recommend Trader Joes (as you mentioned!), Winco (yaaas) and places like 99 Ranch and H Mart: they'll usually have much cheaper produce than, say, Ralphs or Vons or whatever. 85 Degrees is great if you want coffee, milk tea and pastries.
    Also I agree that it's very easy to become a homebody in LA. I've lived here all my life and the thought of driving everywhere on a spur of the moment thing isn't appealing. That's why there isn't a lot of spontaneity, because you have to drive and park or you have to try to deal with public transit that doesn't always show up on time.
    The extra charges on the receipt are ridiculous and, frankly, I doubt they actually go to helping the staff. I believe you can ask for them to be removed and then tip as you normally would: the restaurants are banking on you paying these extra optional charges and tipping on top.

  • @jennifertarin4707

    Yes, there is transit here. As you mentioned, it is problematic due to the massive size of the region. I live only about 15 miles from work, but taking the bus takes about 2 hours each way depending on traffic. Also, they (at least in the SGV), the buses are less than reliable. I do like being able to take the train to the beach, but living in the SGV makes things take so much longer, especially when one doesn't drive.

    Agreed with a lot of this as an east coast transplant who's been out in LA for a long time now. Going out in LA in my 20s was a blast. So many stories and memories. But the pandemic really changed things. Even when people go out, they stick to themselves. As for the weather, hard to say on that. Two winters is a small sample size. People in the 90s in LA have told me it got like that for a few winters, too. One thing to look at is that L.A.'s Mediterranean climate (we're not actually a desert) is about half as dry as actual cities along the Mediterranean sea like Rome which get a lot more rain in spring and fall than we do.

    I moved to the hills on the east side of LA from NYC twenty years ago and one intangible fact difference is that in New York, in many ways, things tend to find you, whether it’s career opportunities, unique cultural discoveries or a sense of the history or community. However in Los Angeles, you must consciously seek these things out yourself. There’s really a lot going on here that I didn’t know anything about for many years. It’s an incredibly diverse city where the vibe of different communities changes dramatically from one to the other, regarding everything from the food to the people and even the weather.
    It’s also one of the few regions anywhere where you can go skiing, then hiking and end up sunbathing by the beach all in one day and still get home in time for dinner.

    All cities go through waves of change. If anything, LA is returning to a more normal state after Covid.
    One big advantage you didn't mention of the LA region is the variety of fantastic food.
    Seems like you never go to areas that are not on the Westside of LA. Places like DTLA, Arts District, Silverlake, Los Feliz, East LA, etc. Have you visited any museums? Gone to any sporting venues?
    Another benefit in LA, you didn't list, is the huge amount of sports teams in the region both at the college and professional levels and some of the best sports venues in the country.
    Same goes for museums and music venues in the LA region. Have you been to the Hollywood Bowl or the Greek Theater? How about the myriad of great museums?

      Where you moved to? What are you looking for? I'm an LA native, and the day I left was the happiest day of my life. I have nightmares about having to go back. But I moved to South East Asia so little different than your situation. Maybe the city you live in now isn't giving you what you want, but I can't imagine LA being any better. What's your income? I guess that's what really makes the difference. It better be over 100K per year because I was making 80K a year 6 years ago and most of it was just flushed down the toilet on house and car, and I was trying to live as cheap as possible. Living with roommates and the whole bit. If you're self employed and working remotely, then you can live anywhere on the globe.

Go to NYC and you can stay out all night and bounce around from place to place very easily. In LA, once you commit to a spot for the night you’re sorta stuck because the next spot might be miles away so you would need to Uber and then last call is at 130am. At 130am shit is just getting started in NYC.

    Homelessness Problem has destroyed LA. with filth. With tent cities. With drug addicts and vermin. Taxes are out of control: 12"% income tax; 9% sales tax; 2% annual car registration. Housing starts at $1000 a sq. ft on the west side. Then there's biblical prophesies fulfilled at random: Wild fires, mus slides, torrential rains and flooding, racial riots, earthquakes, pestilence.

If anything, LA will get more hot and humid over the decades due to climate change and increased sea surface temperatures.

      True. It's a driving culture and I am the biggest offender but honestly... My car was at the shop and when I sat at a coffee shop to find an Uber, I saw a bus station. I downloaded the app, got a Tap card on my phone and got on the bus. It was comfortable. At so many places, the bus drove by, I thought "hey I am here and could just get off and enjoy a coffee there or dinner there or sit at this park there. It was freeing. No thoughts of parking. I have taken the bus a few times since then and will take it more and more. It barely costs anything. And I have noticed if you look grumpy at the bus driver, you don't have to pay at all.

Yet, in spite of that, America has done very well. But with cities like San Francisco in the 2020s taking quite a few hits, the paradigm has shifted. As for the old-time phrase of "greatest city in the world," that's a lot of chutzpah mixed with hyperbole. After all, cities like London, Paris or Tokyo will want a say in matters. As for LA, not too many cities in the US have its various moving parts, whether good or bad.
