I'm not used to car-based commuting so the less mandatory 'stop-start-stop-start time' in my manual transmission the better.

I think when I used 'edgy', I intended to mean I was not looking for a very, conventional, well-settled, 'yuppie' community and that I was fine living somewhere more transitional or with an urban feel that some people or families might find less attractive. I don't want to have to walk the streets in body armor but would like to see some diversity (economic, political, cultural, musical) more in keeping with places I've previously lived.

Both 'uptown_urbanist' and 'Island_OnThe_Land' continue to demonstrate a good feel for what I am looking for. I think my strategy at this point will be to focus on the Loz Feliz/Silverlake/Echo Park areas with a bit of downtown as well. Then, for contrast (if time allows) I'll take a quick roll past a beach community. Google maps indicates commutes greater than an hour (in traffic) for communities such as Santa Monica and Manhatttan/Hermosa Beaches. Likely much more daily travel than I could tolerate initially. I also think I'll give Pasedena a miss for now unless new evidence turns up.

Great to be in a city with so many options. And always interested in more suggestions.


Let us know how it all works out! Also, feel free to give me a job when I finish my surg tech schooling next year.
