You have to know someone. The overwhelming majority of jobs out there in L.A. are not advertised to the public.

Culver City was my final residence in SoCal before leaving, and it's a great place. Not the most exciting place but it is the last remnant of the traditional westside, preserves a sense of community, is very welcoming of all its ethnicities and nationalities, is quite safe (less so west of the 405 though), has some great restaurants and bars (although Joxer Daly's can kiss my culito and is a blight on a great town) and is extremely conveniently located. Alas it's gotten a little pricey these days, but it remains one of the last middle class bastions of L.A.

As for the King Fahd Mosque: it can get crowded during prayer time. It's the biggest mosque in L.A. but being Saudi backed is more conservative than the Islamic Center in Koreatown, L.A.'s oldest mosque (the neighboring Palms neighborhood of L.A. has the largest Shia mosque in L.A. but fortunately intra-Muslim tensions don't exist in L.A. For that matter, despite all of L.A.'s ethnic tensions, it is one of the few cities in the world with plenty of both Jews and Muslims which has no Muslim-Jewish tensions)

Culver City is one of the most accepting places for real diversity in SoCal.
IMO, this has a great deal to do with it still being a middle class bastion (although it has upscale and poorer pockets) in one of the most economically polarized places in the US - less economic inequality is good for acceptance of diversity, unity, and community.

Now, the big exception to this is Joxer Daly's pub, which IMO is a blight and an embarrassment, but that's easily avoided by NOT PATRONIZING IT.
