Why so many depressed/unhappy people? (Culver City, West Hollywood: renters, lawyers, homes)

That's why I choose the Westside due to it's lower population of teens and children. As an age segregationist, living in a neighborhood that has too many teenagers would be a problem for me because teen girls are always hitting on older men. When those men turn them down, they falsely accuse them and those men are ruined. Teen girls make false accusations because they're genetically prone to do so.
So I would have to avoid areas that are heavily populated by teens, like UCLA, USC, or any schools, for my sake. It's not that I'm restricting from being around minors. I choose not to be around them.
And it seems like L.A.'s gang members are getting more younger by the year. LAUSD schools are grounds for rebellious teens and young thugs.

(Granted, the Valley was in much better shape in the '80s and the problems there weren't anywhere near as bad - OTOH Hollywood was in much worse shape and Venice's gang problems were much worse than today, even if its homeless problem today is as bad and may be worse than back then. Problems move around and change as neighborhoods change.)
You do realize Newman's song is satire, don't you? Too many people forget that (those who don't pay attention to the verses or the shout out of some of the ugliest streets in L.A.)
As for the comments by Vilmer and West of Encino: L.A. would be in better shape if the percentage of teenagers was on the same level as the percentage of teenagers in the populations of San Francisco or Seattle. (The westside has a low percentage of teenagers as do some areas elsewhere, and the percentage of teens in L.A.'s population as a whole HAS declined,but L.A. still has a larger percentage of teens than those two cities. OTOH if S.F. had a similar percentage of teens, it would be pretty much the same. Can't speak for Seattle.)

That's a little nutty. Teen girls usually tend to avoid older men, unless by older men you mean like guys in their 20s. If you're an older man in a neighborhood with teenage girls, believe me, they want nothing to do with you.

I'm in my 20s who believes that people under 18 should stick to someone their own age, and try not to ruin young adult lives.

OK, I ignored your first comment. But... seriously.
I read your first comment, and then this one as: "I came on to/molested an underaged girl and got caught. I cannot be trusted around them. Also, it was her fault."
Hey, I applaud you for (sort of) realizing that you have a problem and trying to stay away from underaged girls. Please keep at it.

^^^ This. I guess I don't look like a sugar daddy because the only interaction I ever have with teenage girls is when they're showing me to a table in a restaurant.

well, I'm a male in my 20s and I don't have underage teen girls coming on to me . Or if I get the feeling they might be , I don't lead them on. Avoiding eye contact, being cold, or just generally limiting contact are good strategies. What I mean is, being accused by a teenage girl of molestation or harassment is probably one of the last things on my list of worries. Not sure what your situation is.

I was in a now-defunct non-CD discussion group for West L.A. natives and someone was lamenting that the 90025 and 90064 zip codes (the two zip codes of West L.A. proper) have less than 5% of their population under 18, due to property prices and rents becoming too high for families. I cannot verify these statistics but they certainly have a very low population of teens and children nowadays (30 years ago it was a different story). The same is true for 90024 and probably 90049. 90066's percentage would be a little higher because it includes some areas with more immigrants. For the same reason 90034 would be higher. I'd guess the LOWEST percentage of kids of any west side zip codes would be 90069 and 90292 as well as the Beverly Hills zip codes. (90069 may have the fewest kids of any zip code in L.A.)
Outside the west side, certain central L.A. neighborhoods that have had very changed demographics over the last decade and which have become "whiter" although still very diverse come to mind. Especially during the RE bubble, many of the Latino and Asian families in those areas left for the suburbs for more space and better schools (while the elderly Latinos and Asians in those neighborhoods have remained.)

Fortunately LAUSD's enrollment has dropped, but the number of kids in L.A. could drop more. And LAUSD itself is the problem. It needs to be broken up, more magnets and charters need to be created, and the comprehensive needs to be abolished. (A voucher system would also be good, but I'm not realistic about its chances of passing. At the very least Cooley needs to do a corruption investigation into LAUSD given the amount of waste and fraud in its top-heavy bureaucracy) It is because of LAUSD that the link between schools and neighborhoods has been broken. It needs to go. LAUSD as an institution has helped to create those problems.

Okay. Any young adult who fears children and minors doesn't mean they are pedophiles or previously had interactions with them. I watch the news and hear stories of teen girls trying to hit on older men! I haven't had interactions with teens since I graduated high school. I just don't feel comfortable around people outside my age group!
It's quite irritating when women, feminists, and mothers automatically assume men are pedophiles just because they have ephebiphobia. They also have issues with people who never want to have kids.
I also applaud LA for having a trashy school system and not being overly family friendly. I certainly wouldn't want to have neighbors with your kind of mindset, for my sake. That's what I like about the city.

Just heavily cautious of people based on their age, gender, and somewhat background.
