Your post was difficult to read.
Bob.
No one else had an issue with it, out of everything you could’ve said you respond saying use paragraphs. Just like the rest of the comments off topic and has nothing to do with the OP. Good day

I’m the OP you must be referring to the person who commented and started all this back and forth. I’m hardly ever home and I have a good mix of friends all races and sizes. LA is one of the most diverse places.

Hopefully you dont like to walk or bike places here, because thats tantamount to asking to die. I moved here and bought a bike being idealistic that the stereotypes arent true. They are. You are literally asking to die if you dont drive EVERYWHERE.

Hopefully you have AC too cuz it was 90 degrees on thanksgiving day last year. Another extremely rude awakening for this east coaster.

But on the bright side, crime is MUCH lower here. Sheltered LA folk will complain because theyre naive and have never seen real cities like DC, Baltimore, Philly, and NYC. (Although major caveat here is the homeless shooting up heroin on every corner. At least the homeless on the east coast are just alcoholics.)

Also this place is WHITE. Having lived in the south and DC, its strange to live in such a white place. But LA is mostly midwestern people that have no clue what racial diversity is.
Are you serious? You don't know a thing about LA and I seriously doubt you actually live here. From your statements above, it's crystal clear your just another LA basher. Go play in the snow.

If high crime is your "real city" enviro, well who by choice wants to live in that? You make it sound like a put down. Maybe that is why you're catching some hate here.

Lol..

Good thing the OP answered back, because everyone was confusing the OP with the second message lol

Yes, LA is pretty darn cool. I always find that most of the transplants set on relocating themselves within LA city limits. The thing with LA is that you're going to drive and hit traffic no matter what... Really what you should be doing is finding a cheaper place outside of city limits that are sometimes even better cities...

Yet, you don't want to go too far out, that you end up moving in the IE...

OP, at least you're here now!! Try exploring LA and LA COUNTY at its fullest... you'll soon find that you'll find better areas and *sometimes* better prices outside of LA...

Yea you are right I confused the two posts.. I mentally just skipped the original post because it was un readable without paragraphs.

After turning 30 earlier this year I finally did it. Searching for a place is hard especially doing it virtually I spent hours on apartment.com and etc. Finding something in my budget in a safe area with decent parking ,and not too far away from everything was a CHALLENGE! Coming from a gated community 2br 2bath - pool, fitness center, community center with apple products, game room and so much more for $1669 I had to let go of all expectations moving to LA. Once i did that the search became better. But I do recommend coming to LA first to look around before you commit to a place. i was not able to do that which was VERY RISKY. I found a place near East Hollywood near Little Armenia upcoming area, I can see the Griffith Observatory when I work out on the street. The leasing agent Face-timed me, spent video and did a lot for me since I was not able to come see the place in person. I felt comfortable enough to move forward and sign the lease after a few weeks of videos, questions, and concerns back and forth. I transported my car from Maryland loaded the trunk up with stuff and placed some stuff in the backseat for $1125, sold my furniture not worth paying a moving company (i has IKEA stuff), and I shipped whatever else didn't fit in my car spent about $300 through USPS. So I came to LA starting over completely. I arrived here on Monday there were so issues with the plumbing in the pace but the leasing company took quick action. My place is cool but I do wish I took a plane to LA and looked around before I signed my lease. I see a lot more places now that I'm actually here. Traffic is traffic i expected that no cant complain but other then that I'm glad i moved it can be very stressful moving cross country but good planning and money makes things better . You have 21 days to get an out of state vehicle registered and the DMV is suppppppeeeerrr busy so here's a tip. If you are an AAA member they offer DMV services so I skipped the line and got my tags and title work done and its FREE if you are an AAA member. It cost me $293 for tags they have to be renewed every year Maryland its every two. Smog check and certificate $45. Over all i'm glad I'm here!
How were you able to get an apartment from across the country? I'm trying to move to LA Myself and I don't see how thats feasible.
