Stale Topics (Los Angeles, Orange: condo, how much, neighborhoods)

[hockfan86]

So when I first accepted a job in LA I had never been to California let alone Los Angeles. This community of people helped me out ten fold, showed me the ropes, taught me the neighborhoods. I was so please with my experience, I decided to stick around and see if someday I could help or teach someone something new.

Fast forward to today, the same lame questions and answers keep popping up. Now I know there are bound to be repeats, but this is getting ridiculous. I want to form a list and hopefully we can get it stickied. Once that is out of the way let's show some spirit and kindness towards our great city. If you don't like it, that is fine, but don't pollute everyone else's enjoyment.


Here is the answer to all your questions in one big list, please feel free to add to it:

What is the weather like here?:

Perfect, almost always sunny and never humid or cold.

Are people pretentious here?:

A very small percentage.

Should I move here?:

Only you can decide the answer to this question, we can only offer advice on where to live and what we like and don't like about the city.

Is X amount of money enough to live here?:

Maybe, maybe not. Only you know your budget, we can only advise you on how much things cost here in various parts of the city.

Is Los Angeles fun?:

Yes very fun if you have an open mind and don't mind getting in the car to explore.

Should I come out here for acting/directing/singing/creative. etc...?:

You should do what you are most passionate about, if acting is it and you are determined to make it in LA, then come on down. Come here ready to learn, bust ass, and struggle for what could be a longtime. It will all be worth it if you truly love it.

Are there parts of LA to avoid?

Like all big cities theret are certain dangers, however all parts of LA have something to offer. Use your best judgement.

Keep em coming!

Is 2K enough for me to get a bad ass wood floor 3 bedroom condo near the beach? Oh and is the area safe and lacking mean pretentious people that might kill my positive vibes about making it as an actress. LOL.

I hate to be mean, but gosh I really hope I didn't sound that delusional when I first started posting here, but I probably did.

I do not think that these questions will ever stop because of the media's gross misrepresentation of LA.
