Hey, I was just randomlly looking at other forums and I decided to stop here at the L.A. forum to try to understand something.
I was just wondering if Los Angeles was really as bad as most Americans say, so I thought of maybe getting that info from Angelinos themselves. My family and I passed through L.A, going to the Bay area, so I don't really know how the city is.
Oh, and if I were to move to Cali, what would be the best place to live?

You will LOVE LA if..

A. You are in a gang
B. Love illegal aliens
C. Posess amazing patience for traffic
D. Have incredible tolerance for smog
E. Love to vandalize and tag
F. Have a few million $ in home equity

Otherwise, stay far and clear for the city of demons.

"Best" is a very interpretative word. Honestly, I can't give you the best city/town for you unless you tell me more..

LA is full of crime, pollution and traffic. I would never live there. Yuba city is pretty good, most places in far north CA is fine, although still expensive, like $200k and up for a decent house

"Best place" is a VERY relative, subjective term. What criteria are important to you?

It all depends on what part of L.A your living in and your Income.

Well I'm not really going to move there anytime soon. But if I was, where would be the cheapest place to live, what is the safest neighborhood (if there is any), and should I just move outside the city?
Really, right now, this is just a "what if" thing.

JJG, the cheapest place to live would be Compton, and most here would agree that this is not what anyone would ever want voluntarily.
CiXel, I consider Miami to be a preview of L.A. in 5 years. Is this true?
