justabystander, if you were complimenting my posts as well as puffle's, thank you. We have an interesting anomoly for those who keep track of who writes what: I tend towards objective descriptions of the less disireable trade-offs one gets in L.A. to go along with the famous weather, and yet, with the rep for so-called negativity, in real life I work fairly hard for neighborhood activism groups to help my little corner of horror for the better for the remaining time we're here. There are other posters who are incredibly optimistic about life in L.A., and I must presume they live in pretty well-to-do situations, since I never read of their own volunteer work to help their own neighborhoods, which must be a tad better off to begin with.
I for one think posts like yours, of people who spent most of their life here and finally moved by necessity, are useful for potential relocators to read. Trade-offs, people, trade-offs. Sun 360 days of sun a year, versus your moderate income in L.A. putting you in neighborhoods next to violent people who couldn't communicate with all of us who are posting on City-data.com. |

Livingchoices.com: Real Estate - New Homes, Homes for Sale, Apartment Rentals You'll find a lower crime rate than in Beverly Hills, Bixby Knolls and many other pricey neighborhoods. In fact, if you substitute the last 5 numbers of the URL w/ Laguna Beaches 92651 ZIP code, you'll find Carson's 90746 ZIP is as safe as the million-dollar Laguna Beach, in spite of being on the 'gang list'. Carson's safety isn't a product of millionaires... it's just safe. |

Note from the other side of the fence. My husband and I have a total annual income of over 300k. If we made any less we could NOT afford the lifestyle here and that is that. If I made less than 100k I would move. Who needs the headaches?
Luckily I bought our beach home 17 yrs ago so our value has gone thru the roof. However, I have to pay 23k for my son's private school, high taxes both income and property, and the basic cost of living even without those listed would still be high. The best way is to live below your means! Most S. Cali folks tend to live way above it...sometimes you just have to. I love southern california, I really do there are so many great things to see and do. I am never bored. For those of you who want to move out, great...just have an RV to visit when the "cultural" mood strikes, or ur favorite dim sum place is calling, or Rose bowl football game and parade calls your name. |

Hello, I am a 25 yr. old male living in North Carolina. I hope to move to Los Angeles after graduating from college next december. My degree will be in finance. I am curious to know how hard it is to get started right out of college in LA. I know it would be easier to have a roomate-thats not good advice. Who doesn't know that the bills aren't as burdensome when there are two people paying. I would like to know where the more affordable and safe areas are. How much money should I have saved for moving, expenses, and the layover time between jobs. Any sound advice would be greatly appreciated.
